What we’re about
Welcome to Toltec Dreaming! This group is a safe and nurturing space for those interested in exploring the healing power of the Goddesses and working with Toltec wisdom to heal and nurture their inner child. Through guided meditations, dreaming breathwork, rituals, journaling and discussions, we will delve into the depths of our psyche to uncover and heal past wounds, allowing us to step into our true power and potential. Join us as we journey together towards wholeness and transformation.
Healing our inner child can be one of the most transformational things we do for ourselves. We heal, we change our relationship with our past, we feel empowered. For centuries people have turned to the Toltec goddesses or "las Marias" in the Americas and The Black Madonna and "virgin-saints" in Europe. Lighting candles, asking for healing, seeking help from the divine feminine in Latin Culture is a practice still done today. There is something more accessible about the divine feminine. It feels like a relationship. Ultimately, the divine feminine archetype within the subconscious is reception. We are received, listened to, comforted by her.
We walk in a green, gold and yellow meadow and we feel at once received and supported. The divine feminine as the earth itself represents abundance, the harvest, clothes and shelter. Working with the ancient feminine principle helps us grow out of lack and survival mentality. We feel there is enough and that we are enough. Many of us who grew up with trauma were told that our feelings weren't important compared to the survival of the family.
This one-day workshop is our meeting place, where we share what we've journaled, how the Toltec Dreaming practices and breathwork made us feel and the transformational aspects of working with our nahual or dream body.
Once you sign up, I will send you an exercise where you begin to work with your nahual. You need at least one week to do the practices, therefore sign up for events will close one week prior to the date. These practices are grown from my three Toltec Dreaming teachers in Mexico City Xolotl Chavez, Alma Santiago Chavez and Sergio Magana. According to Xolotl our Toltec Dreaming lineage goes back to the Long Count, 28,500 years.
Journaling can be done before or after the exercises. The writing is more for you. The creative function of free writing helps us go into the energetic realm and also into our material past.
Along this journey we are confronted with our relationships with our families. Any relationship is between ourself and the other. Many of us had parents and/or syblings who projected themselves onto us. As we recognize our shadow we see all of ourselves. We see the differences between ourselves and our parents and syblings. This breaks us out of codepency in our current relationships. We are not one half or one quarter of something. We are whole all by ourselves.
Shadow work makes us aware of what we project onto the other. It helps us grow and not feel we need another person to become self-actualized. This shamanic practice works with light and dark, the realm of pure energy eminating from our body and our shadow that helped save us. Our pain and our shadow want us to remember just how bad-ass we are. When we recognize just how hard it was, and that is was us who got us through it, we are able to release it.
If you are interested in Toltec culture, dreaming, or self-actualization, this group is for you. Please bring your journals, pen and paper, and water with you to group. Beginners welcome!
