queer deathwalker workshop
with Tony Allicino & David Conneely

Tony and David write:
We are often taught to embrace our lives with great courage and fervor, but what about death? Our lives often draw us away from death, which Joan Halifax (author of Being with Dying and Shaman: The Wounded Healer) refers to as a gift that is rarely opened.

In this workshop queer men will gather to perform ceremony and shamanic journeywork to open a portal of comfort and understanding with the issue of
dying and the destiny of souls.

Participants will learn techniques to walk with dying and death in a powerful and loving way; work with their ancestors and spirit allies to explore their connection with death; be taught skills to help people who are in terminal situations; and will learn classic psychopomp to help those who have died and not crossed over
to complete unfinished business.

Prerequisite: Seeing In The Dark workshop or similar introduction
to shamanism workshop.

Last Date Offered: January 5-7, 2007
Next Date: TBA
