Join wisdom keeper Erika Gagnon on a sacred journey, as we gather together and explore the healing wisdom of the “Americas”. We will learn about the importance of ancestral lineage, rites of passage, ceremonies & rituals, sacred altars, medicinal plants, and the origins of dis-ease in our physical, mental/emotional, and spiritual bodies.
You are your greatest healer and greatest medicine, and we will examine what this means in the context of our modern daily lives as we share healing wisdom & practices together. This is your opportunity to transform trauma and unhealthy patterns, and to realign your body, mind, spirit and soul. You will also have the opportunity to participate in a water prayer blessing, a sound healing journey, and a traditional South American healing ceremony.
You will be invited to reconnect to your authentic wisdom and power with clarity, gratitude and forgiveness. When you honor and heal your ancestral lineage, and connect to the natural and spiritual elements of this planet, you will strengthen your connection to the sacred in everyday life.
We are all interconnected in this great web of life, and every day is a gift in the service of unconditional love: for yourself, your community, humanity, and our planet. If you feel the call to be a part of a new humanity that lives in harmony and balance upon this Earth, then we invite you to join us in this celebration of life.
We will be joined by guest teacher Claudia Cuentas, a Peruvian Sound healer/musician and somatic therapist. We are so fortunate that Claudia will offer an Andean sound healing journey, as well as various somatic healing practices throughout the 5 day workshop. Please see Esalen guest faculty for her bio.
Please bring any sacred items for our altar, including photographs of loved ones & ancestors, sacred objects that have meaning for you, and a journal to write in.
Special Note on Gift Economy: For this workshop, Esalen will not be collecting the typical leader fees. Erika embraces the tradition of the gift economy & reciprocity. The leader's compensation will be self-determined by each attendee. At the end of the workshop, participants will offer a donation amount that reflects their feeling of gratitude, value, and desire to support Erika and her ongoing work.
