About this Retreat
Daniel stone’s life quest has been to understand his ‘dreaming’. As a child, his dreaming experience at night was more real than his experience in the day. In order to try and find the bridge, he explored psycho-therapeutic theories (in particular Carl Jung) and artistic movements (painting, music, theatre, literature).
For ten years, he traveled widely, and It was through the shamanic path working with indigenous shamans, in particular, the Australian Aboriginals, Tibetan Buddhism (Bon shamanism), and the Toltec wisdom of central America, that he found a language that could bring together the night with the day. Life as dream.
He has received various initiations, in particular the crystalline intelligence (inner crystal skull), and holds dreaming circles in Mexico, North America, Europe and Australia. He founded the Mexican desert Centre of the Conscious Dream in 2000, where he now lives.
Daniel is the author of ‘the dreamer who dreams you’ (axis-mundi press), and ‘Chu-Ra – the change of time’ (Circle). He is an established international exhibiting artist and musician
Details of this retreat
Shamanic and dreaming individual retreats.
Mountain spa, San Miguel De Allende, Mexico.
These shamanic and dreaming individual retreats are a series of consultations and healing sessions over a period of one week. You would stay at a beautiful spa in the mountains just outside San Miguel de Allende in Mexico. The spa also offers many different extra options including various types of massage, steam and sauna.
The accommodation is self catering, or you can eat out in one of the many international restaurants in San Miguel.
The individual retreats can focus on healing, work project vision, seeing, creativity, or all of these. We would agree a focus and intent together for the time that you spend.
These are the areas in which we can assist.
1, Developing your ability to communicate with natural energy resources so that you can utilise the free energies that are in your environment.
2. Developing your creative fire. We can do this with specific creative projects if required.
3. Developing your healing abilities. This can be for self-healing, or healing in a professional capacity. If you are already a professional healer, we look at ways in which you can develop the tools that you are already using from the various perspectives of Universal Shamanism. These sessions can also be taken as part of the Practical Intuitive Shamanic Training Programme.
4. Clarifying your business plan or project. In particular, we look at the four stages of the business model –
The initial vision
The affirmation that the vision is both viable and also confirmation of your commitment to the vision.
The manifestation of the vision.
The renewal of the vision.
This model works in all types of businesses, or professional contexts.
5. Developing the ability to see energies.
6. Developing the ability to make the links between the dream of the night and the dream of the day.
The actual nature of the consultations depend on your objective, if it is based on business, creativity, or healing. The consultation could be entirely verbal, or reflection and supervision of a creative practise, or healing sessions - you would choose. Here is a description of a healing session.
These sessions use sound (voice, flute, drum, bells etc.) to make a soundbath in which the participants relaxes and releases from the energetic bodies (emotional, mental, physical, spiritual). Also subtle massage is used together with other shamanic healing techniques with the agreement of the participant. The objective of the session is to relax the different energetic bodies and find balance, and for the participant to connect with their spiritual guides in whatever form (human, elemental, animal, tree, rock, colour, abstract form, feeling). When the body relaxes, it is possible to connect with one’s own divinity, the creative energy and inspiration.
At the end of the sessions, a series of practises will be given, many of them outside in nature. These practises are a very important part of the retreat as this is when the deepest healing and learning will take place. For this reason the sessions are spaced out during the week to give you a lot of space to experience your practises.
Daniel Stone has the ability to ‘see’ into the dreaming body, and this is very useful to receive information. Metaphorically it is like the participant is a sculpture, and the participant is seeing the sculpture (him or herself) from one side, and Daniel Stone is seeing from the other side, for from below or above – the parts that the participant cannot see so easily. The information that Daniel looks for is information that can help the participant in their healing, develop their creative fire, their ability to make clear decisions, and to develop their relation with their higher self (or spirit guides/divinity/creator within).
Sessions usually last one and a quarter hours, although they can be a little more at times.
