In his new book, “<a href="http://www.johnlockley.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Leopard Warrior: A Journey into the African Teachings of Ancestry, Instinct, and Dreams</a>” John shares powerful and effective practices for people from anywhere to connect with their own ancestors, spiritual traditions, and the natural world. Join us this week as John and host, Christina Pratt, explore how we can respond to the challenges that arise when our ancestors come to us in dreams and guide us to step outside of the lines of tradition. With great heart, John shares the years of practice, dedicated personal work, and inspiration needed to pioneer a new way that we can be together in this world.</p> <p>Listen to the show (just click the Play arrow): </p> <p><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('audio');</script><![endif]--> <audio class="wp-audio-shortcode" id="audio-5022-1" preload="none" style="width: 100%;" controls="controls"><source type="audio/mpeg" src="/audio/2017-11-14_christina.mp3?_=1" /><a href="/audio/2017-11-14_christina.mp3">/audio/2017-11-14_christina.mp3</a></audio><br /> <br /> or download (right-click the link) the <a href="http://whyshamanismnow.com/audio/2017-11-14_christina.mp3">The Way of the Leopard with John Lockley .mp3 audio </a></p> <h2>About Christina Pratt…</h2> <p><a href="http://www.lastmaskcenter.org/workshops-classes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Shamanic teacher</a> and author, Christina is a skilled <a href="http://www.lastmaskcenter.com/shamanic-healing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">shamanic healer </a>who weaves her authentic shamanic experience, extensive training, and experience with shamans from Ecuador, Nepal, Tibet, and Africa into her contemporary practice.

Join host and shaman, Christina Pratt, as she explores why we keep reaching incessantly for the next bigger vision abusing this rich resource we could use to transform our lives and the troubles in the world around us. The regular practice of the most basic shamanic skills— like shamanic journeying —allows us to develop not only our vision, but our intuition, or seeing with all of our senses, our perception, or discerning accurately outside of oneself, and our insight, or seeing accurately within oneself. In this we realize how our dreams and vision are already changing the world.</p> <p>Listen to the show (just click the Play arrow): <audio class="wp-audio-shortcode" id="audio-3629-2" preload="none" style="width: 100%;" controls="controls"><source type="audio/mpeg" src="/audio/2014-05-06_christina.mp3?_=2" /><a href="/audio/2014-05-06_christina.mp3">/audio/2014-05-06_christina.mp3</a></audio></p> <p>or download (right-click the link) the <a href="http://whyshamanismnow.com/audio/2014-05-06_christina.mp3">Visionary Power in Shamanism .mp3 audio file.</p> <h2>About Christina Pratt…</h2> <p><a href="http://www.lastmaskcenter.org/workshops-classes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Shamanic teacher</a> and author, Christina is a skilled <a href="http://www.lastmaskcenter.com/shamanic-healing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">shamanic healer </a>who weaves her authentic shamanic experience, extensive training, and experience with shamans from Ecuador, Nepal, Tibet, and Africa into her contemporary practice.

Winter is the time to entertain your deepest truths for the purpose of renewing your dream. Without taking some time each year for gestation to tend the self who is tired, feeling inadequate, too small, too weak, and without power the expressive self is not rejuvenated and realigned to live your dream in life. Join host and shaman, Christina Pratt, as she explores how we attend to “adrenal fatigue” and “yin depletion’ by working honestly with our emotional life without indulgence or mental distance. With a renewed flow of our emotions we can replenish our stores of lifeforce energy and realign with our dream with the call for your unique genius that resonates in the Dreamtime.</p> <p>Listen to the show (just click the Play arrow): <audio class="wp-audio-shortcode" id="audio-3459-3" preload="none" style="width: 100%;" controls="controls"><source type="audio/mpeg" src="/audio/2013-12-31_christina.mp3?_=3" /><a href="/audio/2013-12-31_christina.mp3">/audio/2013-12-31_christina.mp3</a></audio></p> <p>or download (right-click the link) the <a href="http://whyshamanismnow.com/audio/2013-12-31_christina.mp3">Renewing Your Dream </a> .mp3 audio file.</p> <h2>About Christina Pratt…</h2> <p><a href="http://www.lastmaskcenter.org/workshops-classes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Shamanic teacher</a> and author, Christina is a skilled <a href="http://www.lastmaskcenter.com/shamanic-healing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">shamanic healer </a>who weaves her authentic shamanic experience, extensive training, and experience with shamans from Ecuador, Nepal, Tibet, and Africa into her contemporary practice.

How do we redream a life of love and relationship after a nasty, divisive, inequitable divorce? How do we redream life after time at war destroys our sense of the core goodness of humanity? Where do we begin when all that matters in life is tattered and in a shambles all around our feet? We accept that the Void is present and welcome The Original Dreamer into our life. And then we learn again to dream, just as we did as a child; we learn to dream reality into form. Join host and shaman, Christina Pratt, as she explores how we recover dreaming as a conscious act when the dream we have dreamt from childhood goes terribly awry.

For the rest of you this is a story of healing. It is an inspiration for those who have suffered great trauma, like incest, chronic violence, or the soul loss induced by the daily, normal horrors of war, and refuse to be hobbled or accept anything less than the life you came here to live. Join us this week as author and neoshaman, Kelley Harrell shares her experiences and insights with host, Christina Pratt. Kelley has served her local community in North Carolina and an international client base since 2000 through Soul Intent Arts. In her own words, “My path of shamanism is original and claims no culture other than the one of my creation. I do not seek to teach a branded path of shamanism, but to present the map for you to create your own. Through private sessions, classes, and Distance Mystery School, I’m here to create a new tribe of support for children and adults whose lives are blessed with an uncontainable inner knowing. This is The Tribe of the Modern Mystic.”</p> <p>Listen to the show (just click the Play arrow): <audio class="wp-audio-shortcode" id="audio-2087-5" preload="none" style="width: 100%;" controls="controls"><source type="audio/mpeg" src="/audio/2012-07-24_christina.mp3?_=5" /><a href="/audio/2012-07-24_christina.mp3">/audio/2012-07-24_christina.mp3</a></audio></p> <p>or download (right-click the link) the <a href="http://whyshamanismnow.com/audio/2012-07-24_christina.mp3">Gift of the Dreamtime with Kelley Harrell </a> .mp3 audio file</p> <h2>About Christina Pratt…</h2> <p><a href="http://www.lastmaskcenter.org/workshops-classes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Shamanic teacher</a> and author, Christina is a skilled <a href="http://www.lastmaskcenter.com/shamanic-healing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">shamanic healer </a>who weaves her authentic shamanic experience, extensive training, and experience with shamans from Ecuador, Nepal, Tibet, and Africa into her contemporary practice.

Join Mr. Moss and host, Christina Pratt, as they explore a vision of what the coming dreaming society could be like. Active Dreaming is for individuals and communities. For individuals active dreaming is a way to live consciously, to move beyond scripts into the fullness of our story, and to step up to the challenge to create something new in the world. For communities active dreaming offers a new mode for leadership that fosters truth and a model for intentional community that extends to include the Earth and the next seven generations. Robert is our next guest for the Society of Shamanic Practitioners sponsored interview series. In this series we explore how contemporary shamans are meeting the challenge of their world where the relations of things are profoundly out of balance. It is the ancient role of the shaman in all cultures to tend the balance of things. How are these shamans meeting this extraordinary need today?</p> <p>Listen to the show (just click the Play arrow): <audio class="wp-audio-shortcode" id="audio-1901-6" preload="none" style="width: 100%;" controls="controls"><source type="audio/mpeg" src="/audio/2012-02-21_christina.mp3?_=6" /><a href="/audio/2012-02-21_christina.mp3">/audio/2012-02-21_christina.mp3</a></audio></p> <p>or download (right-click the link) the <a href="http://whyshamanismnow.com/audio/2012-02-21_christina.mp3">A New Dreaming Society with Robert Moss</a> .mp3 audio file.</p> <h2>About Christina Pratt…</h2> <p><a href="http://www.lastmaskcenter.org/workshops-classes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Shamanic teacher</a> and author, Christina is a skilled <a href="http://www.lastmaskcenter.com/shamanic-healing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">shamanic healer </a>who weaves her authentic shamanic experience, extensive training, and experience with shamans from Ecuador, Nepal, Tibet, and Africa into her contemporary practice.

The underlying belief of many ancient shamanic cultures is that reality, as we know it is the result of the Dream of the Kosmos, or the Dreamtime as it is called in some cultures. From this Great Kosmic Dream comes the thread of life that connects all things and all times. This thread of life flows through your Ancestors into you and through you to the descendants. You and all of your life have been dreamt into existence just as certainly as you are now dreaming reality into manifestation. So, given the stuff of your life, what are you dreaming? And for the parts you don’t really like, how do you change your dream to change your reality? The helping spirits in a shamanic practice teach us that one of the many responsibilities of spiritual adulthood is to tend your dreams and to pay attention to all that your dreams are creating. Join us this week as we explore how your dreams become part of the Big Dream and how the nightmares of your life can be released by allowing the Big Dream to dream you.</p> <p>Listen to the show (just click the Play arrow): <audio class="wp-audio-shortcode" id="audio-1128-7" preload="none" style="width: 100%;" controls="controls"><source type="audio/mpeg" src="/audio/2011-01-25_christina.mp3?_=7" /><a href="/audio/2011-01-25_christina.mp3">/audio/2011-01-25_christina.mp3</a></audio></p> <p>or download (right-click the link) <a href="http://whyshamanismnow.com/audio/2011-01-25_christina.mp3">The Secret or The Big Dream?</a> .mp3 audio file.</p> <h2>About Christina Pratt…</h2> <p><a href="http://www.lastmaskcenter.org/workshops-classes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Shamanic teacher</a> and author, Christina is a skilled <a href="http://www.lastmaskcenter.com/shamanic-healing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">shamanic healer </a>who weaves her authentic shamanic experience, extensive training, and experience with shamans from Ecuador, Nepal, Tibet, and Africa into her contemporary practice.

This is important because it means that there are potentially multiple spirits producing dreams, not just a single human soul. Spirits producing dreams can be: personal souls; helping spirits; or non-helping spirits, such as the dead stuck in the land of the living, upset elementals, or angry spirits of the place. And it’s these non-helping spirits that we need to be concerned with. Dreams, no matter their source, are messages. They are gateways to a field of non-localized, non-ordinary information/experience and we need to be sure who is tending that gate. Dreams can be tests, seductions, and distractions that lead us away from our truth in subtle ways never see coming just as certainly as they are guides, warnings, and teachings that can keep us on the path of our true calling. To keep our dreams clear and free of pollution we must be impeccable in our life, live free of fear-based thoughts and motivations, and align with the love light of true awareness. Join host and shaman, Christina Pratt, as she explores how shamans interpret dream messages, dream states, and the true source of our dreams.</p> <p>Listen to the show (just click the Play arrow): <audio class="wp-audio-shortcode" id="audio-980-8" preload="none" style="width: 100%;" controls="controls"><source type="audio/mpeg" src="/audio/2011-01-11_christina.mp3?_=8" /><a href="/audio/2011-01-11_christina.mp3">/audio/2011-01-11_christina.mp3</a></audio></p> <p>or download (right-click the link) the <a href="http://whyshamanismnow.com/audio/2011-01-11_christina.mp3">Shamans and Dreams: Part Two</a> .mp3 audio file.</p> <h2>About Christina Pratt…</h2> <p><a href="http://www.lastmaskcenter.org/workshops-classes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Shamanic teacher</a> and author, Christina is a skilled <a href="http://www.lastmaskcenter.com/shamanic-healing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">shamanic healer </a>who weaves her authentic shamanic experience, extensive training, and experience with shamans from Ecuador, Nepal, Tibet, and Africa into her contemporary practice.

Jungian dream interpretation is based on the belief that dreams are a direct message from the personal unconscious delivered through the archetypes of the collective unconscious. Working with the dreamer’s symbolic associations the dreamer’s system is accessed. The most important symbolic associations are gathered and combined to give a holistic view of the dream’s meaning. Shamans also believe that our dreams are messages, but that the “sender” of the dream may or may not be your personal unconscious. It depends on the type of dream you just had. Dreams can be sent by your spirit, your helping spirits, or by energies that seek to block or divert you from your destiny. We can learn to discern the form, intensity, and sensory quality of our dreams, the type of dream, and how to best interpret it. In this way we can learn whether the dream message is a teaching, a warming, or an intrusion clouding our vision to our soul’s true purpose.</p> <p>Listen to the show (just click the Play arrow): <audio class="wp-audio-shortcode" id="audio-976-9" preload="none" style="width: 100%;" controls="controls"><source type="audio/mpeg" src="/audio/2011-01-04_christina.mp3?_=9" /><a href="/audio/2011-01-04_christina.mp3">/audio/2011-01-04_christina.mp3</a></audio></p> <p>or download (right-click the link) the <a href="http://whyshamanismnow.com/audio/2011-01-04_christina.mp3">Shamans and Dreams: Part One </a>.mp3 audio file.</p> <h2>About Christina Pratt…</h2> <p><a href="http://www.lastmaskcenter.org/workshops-classes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Shamanic teacher</a> and author, Christina is a skilled <a href="http://www.lastmaskcenter.com/shamanic-healing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">shamanic healer </a>who weaves her authentic shamanic experience, extensive training, and experience with shamans from Ecuador, Nepal, Tibet, and Africa into her contemporary practice.
