SHAMANIC WISDOM SCHOOL FOR THE JOYFUL EVOLUTION OF PEOPLE & THE PLANET
Power is not found by forcing ourselves, but rather by finding our Self. If you want to improve the state of your being, and the state of the world, you’ve got to go on a Journey. A pilgrimage to the center of your soul, where awaits your total empowerment and joyful enlightenment. The Joyful Warrior Shamanic School that brings positive change to the world by facilitating healing experiences and educational adventures that Bring Love to Life and Free The Human Spirit.
The Project does this primarily by helping people recover from Soul Loss and Spirit-Break. Soul-Loss occurs during traumatic emotional and volitile moments creating disharmony and disassociation with the self, and as a result depressed, dis-eased or distructive action in the world.
Spirit-Break occurs when the Spirit's seed of intention to incarnate is thrwarted by a life situation where the soil is not condusive bringing life fully into the world with love such that the Spirit's grounding in the body essentially doesn't fully "take". The Joyful Warrior Project inspires holistic healing for the journey of your spirit in a physical body. Our programs are designed to help you make this journey, one step at a time - joyfully.
-
MOVEMENT is the foundation. Movement teaches you to love the skin you live in, calling your spirit home again, Movement is the body's sacred alchemy. When we move, we integrate and assimilate that which is strengthening and fortifying and also purge and cleanse that which is toxic and fragmenting. If we want to go from where we are, to where we hope to be, we’ve got to move something! The Project offers Sacred Movement practices in Yoga, Dance, Martial Arts, Flow Arts and more. Come, and be moved by what moves you!
-
MEDITATION is the connection. Meditation is a love making, it is about connecting with the Source of Your Energy. The primary relationship we are growing is the one between our worldly identity and that of our Spirit's calling. With regular journeys out of the mind's judging and into our heart's knowing, we are able to remember where we are going from a place of internal certainty and security. The Project offers shamanic journeying, tantra and many world-culture practices that honor the Earth, Sky and The Star that you are!
-
MEANING is the inspiration. Meaning is what facilitates your personal breakthroughs and opens the heart to let your spirit come through, as you. Meaning is what you are creating. Everything else, is fleeting. You will not take any thing with you, except the experiences that have moved through you. The meaning you give to what you perceive is what creates your reality. Life is a string of moments that are held together by the love that flows through you as you. The Project offers program in Meaning through Music, Art, Ritual, Ceremony. Activism, Nutrition, Community - all forms of expressions that allow Spirit to be Free and to come through as you, and me.
Between any two points, there is exactly one line. The point at which you decide to move from happenstance to happy defines your personal empowerment journey.
Programs with Holly teach you how to honor the Soul within Your Story through creative spiritual journeys.
Each class, workshop, training, retreat or coaching session is a step into the Shaman's Territory. Free Spirit and Bring Love to Life by learning how to walk in two worlds and let the power of your formless self unite with your whole being to create unity, healing and power within you. Walking in Beauty.
