Fe and I am realizing more and more what an awesome being Javier is... not a day has gone by without me thinking about him, his family and all the special people I met, and wishing them well, and feeling grateful. I am super happy to see that he's at your center and I imagine he's quite happy about it too. It seems that he's finally being recognized for who he is... Your center looks beautiful and seems to have the right kind of spirit. Please let him know how grateful I am for last year's adventure and that I look forward to seeing him O ctober 1-14

The Magical Earth is an amazing journey to the rainforest to experience the plant medicines and shamanic practices of the rainforest. It also includes training in some of the healing arts of the plant spirit shamans. We are working with a powerful new shaman this year and some of the best ayahuasca in Peru so we expect very powerful healing results.

The Cactus of Vision is an often life-changing two-week course featuring San Pedro ceremonies, a visit to Machu Picchu, the sacred city of the Incas, an ayahuasca ceremony at the Temple of the Moon, healings, coca leaf divinations and meetings with the Q'ero, the first people of Peru and the wisdom-keepers for mankind.

We are taking bookings now for our 2011 workshops in Spain. Brief course descriptions are available at http://www.thefourgates.com/Shamanic%20Workshop.htm#s and if you would like more information email ross@thefourgates.com for fuller course outlines.
A unique Diploma course which teaches you in two residential weeks all you need to know about shamanic healing, enabling you to qualify faster and saving you time and money. Graduates may also add their names to The Fours Gates healers list and receive client referrals from us.
Another unique course which provides you with a full introduction to working with plant spirit allies and includes ceremonies with the vine of souls for connection to spirit, insights into the self and often deep and profound healing.
The curandero is the shamanic healer of the mystical Andes of Peru. His healing methods, ancient and effective, are as valid and vital today as ever. Training includes instruction in limpia (soul cleansing), egg divination and healing and pago (blessings and offerings).
The fullest and most relevant course on offer for people who wish to become soul retrieval practitioners. Unlike others, this workshop includes not just instruction in soul retrieval but spirit extraction (removing energies which do not serve your client so that space is created for positive soul parts to return to) and energy rebalancing (providing a safe container for returned soul parts so that they stay and thrive).
Again you save time and money since other courses would deal with these aspects separately and require you to attend and pay for three different training components. And again you receive a Diploma on completion of the course and may add your name to our healers list for client referrals.
On this course ancient and little-know techniques are taught from our own shamanic culture including hitherto only vaguely-remembered methods of soul retrieval, spirit extraction, divination from nature and working with plant spirit allies. There is no other course like this available elsewhere and it is especially suited for people with an interest in native shamanic traditions and finding the healing roots within their own cultural heritage.
An extremely rare and limited opportunity to take part in a week of combined ceremonies with two of Peru's most powerful and important teacher plants ayahuasca, the vine of souls and San Pedro, the Cactus of Vision all ceremonies conveniently located in the mountains of Andalucia, Spain. Three ayahuasca ceremonies will be led by Jungle Svonni, one of the Amazon's most interesting and respected shamans who will be joining us from Peru specifically for this event, and one ceremony with San Pedro led by me.
Another opportunity to undertake our April course which provides you with a full introduction to working with plant spirit allies and includes ceremonies with the vine of souls for connection to spirit, insights into the self and often deep and profound healing.
A couple of reviews for my most recent books:
A fascinating read, well and concisely written, chocked full of information and tidbits... I recommend this to anyone interested in History/Religion/Lore of the UK Region, Shamanism, Herbalism, Naturalism, Psychic Development, Fairies, Omens, and Death/Burial Practices.

An extract from this book which looks at the different worldviews of shamanic doctors and medical doctors as regards the basis of healing is featured in the latest Cygnus Review . You can read it here: http://www.cygnus-books.co.uk/magazine/2010/08/the-hummingbirds-journey-to-god/
