The next 5-day workshop in the Metzner Alchemical Divination training series takes place at the Institute of Noetic Sciences in Petaluma, CA, Jan 28-Feb 2, 2007. Each of the workshops in the series of three is independent, so there is no prequisite. For more detailed description and background information on the training, please see the brochure in the attachment. Here you will also read a number of testimonials from people who have experienced the divinations.
Each of the workshops contains different divinations and alchemical light-fire meditation practices, which are an integral part of the divination process, in that they clear the channels of perception and help dissolve obstructions in the energy-field.
The January, 2007 is called:
Hermes and the Vessel of Transformation. It contains the following divinations, which you experience for yourself and learn to guide for others:
* Relationship Disentanglement Divination (Learn how to disengage from relationship patterns that obstruct your growth)
* Envisioning Possible/Probable Futures (Developing conscious foresight & forethought in the areas work, creativity, spiritual
growth, relationship, family, community and the Earth).
* Reconciling with the Inner Enemy or Shadow (preparatory reading of ch 6 of The Unfolding Self highly recommended.)
* Medicine Wheel of the Life Cycle (Learn how to work with the Inner Wise Child, the Anima and Animus, and the Inner Elder,
as spirit guides to counsel you on your deepest questions).
For the important divination on integrating the shadow, I recommend people read chapter 6 in The Unfolding Self, -- which is the best book to read anyway, for general background philosophy, psychology and mythology related to this work. Also relevant to this theme is a lengthy piece I have written, on Roots of War, Domination and Violence. It is in five parts, of which Part I is included in the attachments. The other parts will come in installments. I’m sure you don’t need to be reminded that this is a theme very much in the forefront of our awareness these days, whether we want it or not. I hope you may find the results of my inquiries into this question of some interest.
The basic cost of the 5-day workshop is $1750, which includes tuition and room and board (with double room occupancy; single rooms available). The early bird discounted cost, if you register by Nov 28, is $1600.
We are offering a partner discount: If you sign up with a partner, the cost for the second person is $1450.
A deposit of $500 will hold your place. You can pay by check or credit card.
You can use the registration from in the attachment to sign up; or you can also download it from the website.
You fill out the application form only the first time you take one of these workshops.
Here are a couple of testimonials from some who have leared and worked with the divinations (more on the website):
Ralph Metzner, in the wise elder phase of his life, after many pioneering journeys into the nature of human consciousness, brings us highly effective means of accessing deep insight and healing that he calls Alchemical Divination. I have personally found his work to be life transforming and extraordinarily wise. This is a transmission not to be missed! Rabbi Michael Ziegler
With humor, wisdom and unparalleled experience, Ralph Metzner skillfully and heartfully offers innovative practices that transmute the dark mysteries of the subconscious into alchemical gold, expanding our knowledge of ourselves and promoting wholeness. He is a teacher of exceptional skill, expansive knowledge and deep integrity, whose powerful experiential methodology and teaching elucidate the universal structures that underlie transformative praxis. Leslie Conton, Ph.D., Professor of Anthropology, Teacher of Shamanism
Please e-mail me if you have any questions about the training. If you live in the SF Bay Area, there will be opportunities to experience the alchemical divinations in some shorter formats of evenings, or one-day classes.
