Into The Looking Glass: Illness As A Gateway
Get out of the Why, Move into the What
Nicole
Dalton has been living with Rheumatoid Arthritis since the age of thirteen. For
many years the disease dropped her over the edge into the depths of despair and
scratched painful cuts in her self-esteem as it left her feeling helpless and
hopeless. Happily, this has primarily shifted. Now her illness has become her
most magical teacher.
Nicole does not proclaim to be the its-all-good woman ignoring the exigencies
of her illness, however, by coming to the belief that dancing with illness rather than moving against
it allows a profound understanding of and compassion for both self and other,
she has begun true transformation. No longer does she hate her body. No longer
does she attribute all happiness to outcome.
Now Nicole intends to combine the knowledge
gained through this arduous personal journey with her years as an acting
teacher, coach and working actress to bring to you an uplifting, fun,
evolutionary journey to the other side of Illness.
Whether you are dealing with illness yourself or are associated (family,
friend, partner, child) with someone struggling with a chronic circumstance,
this experiential, inspiring course for you. Nicole and her charismatic,
humorous, hearty teaching style is certain to:
·
Boost
your spirits
·
Encourage
a new view of illness
·
Strengthen
your resolve
·
Provide
actual Tools for living a new way with an altered attitude
·
Teach
you what you can learn from disease
·
Show
you the beauty and power of transformation through ritual
·
Explore
the defenses you use to cling to the worst parts of disease
·
Reveal
peer member and family impact
·
Begin
the wondrous journey of owning your own personal power

Shamanic Journey.

Our relationship to our Ancestors
The call for

Soul Retrieval
Throughout life
we unavoidable sustain “Soul lose”, whether in our relationships, work,
accidents, Illness, surgeries etc. etc. Soul retrieval is a shamanic process,
where the shaman “journeys” to retrieve the lost parts of the soul or the
“denied parts of the self” on an individual bases, this will be available to a
limited number of participants (Maximum of two a day)
Shamanic Healing
In an altered
state of consciousness, the shaman works in the body of the patient to
“Extract” injuries, “Realign” obstructions, “Balance” the body’s energy field
etc. This will be available to most of the participants throughout the
workshop.
What is Shamanism?
“Over tens of thousands of years, our ancient ancestors all over the
world discovered how to maximize human abilities of mind and spirit for healing
and problem-solving. The remarkable system of methods they developed is today
known as "shamanism," a term that comes from a Siberian tribal word
for its practitioners: "shaman" (pronounced SHAH-mahn). Shamans are a
type of medicine man or woman especially distinguished by the use of journeys
to hidden worlds otherwise mainly known through myth, dream, and near-death
experiences.”

"I found Genesis to be a wonderful help to my life situation, regarding a
relationship, that I was in. It is an awakening to oneself, understanding all
habits and identities, that I wear, as a result of my path in life. To my
acting it has served me with a thirst for the truth that I did not see before.
A very significant learning experience in my life."
- Marcus Patric, Personal Trainer
"I found Genesis to be extremely beneficial in my life. The great thing
about it is that it produces short term and long term results! I continue to
grow and apply the knowledge I learned a couple of years ago to my daily life
now. Through Dr. Nicki's workshops I feel that I see everything much clearer. I
am very thankful that I listened to the people that persuaded me into these
workshops!"
