The Art of Living Apprenticeship is a Four-Part Series:

SPRING 2006, Part I : (completed)
Understanding the Human Body and it’s Relationship to the Natural

Through basic exercises, participants will learned how to go inside to become familiar with the different energies of the complete body, which include the energies of the organs to awaken the inner fire within (Rupai). Participants learned to project energy all over their body to complete the first circle, or Chumpi, by capturing the three different basic energies of the universe and thus expand awareness into our energetic bodies.

SPRING 2006, Part II - Sept 21st-24th 2006: (completed)
Conjunction with the Virgin Energies of the Kaypacha

The Kaypacha, in Quechua, is the Axis Munde of existence. In this workshop, participants will learn to feel, play and work with child and totemic energies.

SPRING 2007, Part III: - March 29- April 1, 2007
Power and Balance

In the Andes, power is the art of being fully present and aware, controlling our inside world, Hukupacha, with the Hunacpacha, higher energies, in our present state of consciousness, the Kaypacha. Participants will learn how to access these energies, internally and externally, in order to balance them.

FALL 2007, Part IV: - Sept 27 - 30, 2007
Awakening the Sources of Knowledge

Participants will awaken their intuition more fully by combining inner intuition with actions that are more fully aware and not so automatic. We will work with different states of consciousness, rituals and ceremonies to re-awaken the sources of Divine knowledge that are inside of us.
