Initiations into the Andean Priesthood, The Art of Personal Power
April 22, 23, 24, 2005, Zane Curfman.


In April of 2005, Andean Priest Zane Curfman will be leading a 3-day
workshop initiating participants into the 4th level of Andean
priesthood. This is an extremely rare opportunity to receive these
initiations and we are very proud to offer it at the Self-Health and
Awareness Center. Zane is a gifted healer and a wonderful teacher. He
is one of only a few people in the United States approved to offer
these initiations. Here is how he describes the workshop:

This workshop is the initiations of the 4th level Andean priesthood,
comprising of the Phana and Chaupi traditions, otherwise known as the
Right and Middle paths of the priesthood. Phana, or the Right side,
is the Masculine side. It is considered the road to God and is
comprised of the rational and cognitive elements of this tradition.
In this tradition, we see ourselves as Earth people. All of the magic
and spirit we see is earth based. It is with this communication with
nature and spirit that we learn. The best way to explain this is that
the techniques and knowledge can be learned but not taught. These
initiations open a sacred space to begin your communication with the
environment. By this I mean learning to feel subtle energies that
make up our environment.

The chaupi side teaches how to effect our energetic environment. So,
first we will be opening our ability to feel energies and learning
how to have meaningful communication with nature. Then we will learn
how to effect our energetic environment for the changes we want. In
our tradition, we call the Earth Pachamama and see her as the
feminine aspect of God. We see ourselves as more then just healers of
man but we heal the earth also.

Well, that's it for now. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday and
we look forward to seeing you on Saturday night.
Peace,
