Curriculum, Lectures & Events

Awakening the Soul will be present in selected Latin American and United States cities. We have developed extraordinary teachings thoughtfully arranged to guide you in your spiritual awakening journey. The dynamic curriculum is offered in three different approaches.  First is the “Spiritual Awakening Program”, which consists of 3-day modules; second is the “Two Day Intensives’ Program”, offering two full days and usually offered on weekends; the third one presents “One Day Intensives”, consisting of full day programs.  They are each described in greater detail below, so that you can assess which one is right for you. 

A. Core Curriculum – The Spiritual Awakening Program

This approach consists of six distinct themes, each one symbolizing a building block on your road to discovering your own inner beauty and wisdom. They will be taught in five modules of 3 days each. Each 3-day session consists of full day teachings on Friday and Saturday, and half day on Sunday. In order to allow for understanding and integration, subsequent modules will be conducted every 3 to 4 months. Each of the six themes is briefly described below, followed by the five teaching modules.

Description of Themes

Energy Management and the Steps to Spiritual Awakening — learn how a world made entirely of energy affects the way you feel, think and live, and by learning how to manage those energies you can create health, abundance and bliss. You will also learn the steps to spiritual awakening and how to identify each one, as well as experience several of these steps through beautiful mystical practices.

The Energy Body and The Chakra System — learn about your energy body as the holder of your physical body’s blueprint for health, and how its main organs—the chakras—relate to specific physical organs and to specific psychological and/or emotional issues. Become proactive in the maintenance of your optimum health. In addition, learning to manage your chakras will help you advance in your path to spiritual awakening.

Balancing Feminine and Masculine Energies — learn to balance your own feminine and masculine energies within, so that you can manifest balance throughout your life (relationships, work, personal life, family). We must insure that this balance sustains your soul and not the busyness of your mind. You will emerge firmly grounded on Earth, while at the same time have the ability to maximize Cosmic energies flowing daily into you.

Shedding Your Past — learn to let go of your past and of experiences that still weigh heavily on you, feeling lighter and gaining greater understanding of your soul’s lessons. Your story does not define who you are today or who you can become tomorrow! We will energetically face the victim, release limiting emotions, open the heart fully, face the shadow, and shed our own skin. (work done in two consecutive modules).

Dreaming Your Future — learn to be an active co-creator of your future by utilizing powerful techniques that allow you to ‘dream your world into reality.’ You will also learn to differentiate between dreams and illusions, so that you energize only that which will nurture you.

Facing Your Fears — learn to deal with your own fears so that they no longer hold you from becoming who you truly are and from manifesting your dreams. As we face and release our fears, all that energy that we had trapped in them becomes available to us so that we can create absolute ecstasy in our lives.

Spirituality into Every Day Life — learn to integrate your spiritual journey’s learnings and tools into your day to day, living a life filled with harmony and joy. We choose inner peace instead of stress in every moment we are alive!

Teaching Modules

B. Two Day Intensives

The second approach offers a number of two-day intensives, each one concentrating on a specific topic.  There are five two-day intensives.  They are taught in bi-monthly intervals and generally held on a weekend.  As with the three-day program, each one builds on the previous one so that you may advance on your spiritual awakening path.  You must complete all five intensives in order to go on to the “Mastery Program”.  The two-day intensives are listed below.

C. One Day Intensives

This approach offers several full day intensives, each one concentrating on a specific theme.  There are eleven one-day intensives, and you may complete the program by taking at least eight of them.  Please note that two of them are a continuation of the previous intensive.  One day intensives are taught in monthly or bi-monthly intervals, and are generally conducted on either Saturday or Sunday.  Each intensive builds on the previous one, in order to assist you on your spiritual awakening path.  The ones with an asterisk are required for those willing to go on with to the “Mastery Program”.  Please see a list of one-day intensives below.

D. The Mastery Program – Shamanism & Energy Medicine

NOTE: Prerequisite: Completion of “The Spiritual Awakening Program”, or five “Two Day Intensives”, or eight “One Day Intensives”

After completing either the initial five modules of “The Spiritual Awakening Program”, the five “Two Day Intensives”, or the eight of the “One Day Intensives”, certain students interested in “Shamanism and Energy Medicine” are given the option of continuing into the Mastery Program. Awakening the Soul reserves the right to select participants into this special curriculum. The teachings will be sacred and very intense, demanding strong commitment to an ancient and mystical spiritual discipline. This commitment includes purity of intent and impeccability, for each person will embark on a path of amazing spiritual power. The Energy Medicine portion is designed to make you aware and to teach you profound energy healing techniques rooted in the wisdom of our ancestors. You will learn to utilize spirit allies or helpers to go deep into your practice.

The Mastery Program follows the traditional shamanic Medicine Wheel, consisting of four intensive workshops, each one addressing one of the four directions (South, West, North, and East). Each workshop has a duration of 5 days. Subsequent workshops will be held every 5 to 6 months. The Mastery level is only available in English, and is taught within the United States. There is required reading and homework for each direction.

And remember... shamanism is a way of life... a discipline... where we are intimately connected and nurtured by Mother Earth, and in turn we become her caretakers. We pledge to respect all of Mother Earth’s relations (all that lives within her)!

E. Individual Lectures

Awakening the Soul also offers a variety of individualized two-hour, three-hour and four-hour lectures. These are developed based on the different needs of the various groups requesting them. The topics of the teachings are designed with our audience in mind and are tailored specifically for the soliciting group. Some of the subjects include:
