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
Yuri Corzo describes himself as a Communicator. Trained in Mayan and other native Mexican traditions, the basis of his teachings are the communications from the four elements. He specialises in fire ceremonies, limpias (cleaning with plants), drum making and sacred plant ceremonias. With his wife, he runs a retreat centre Casa Tatikwari near San Christobal de las Casas, Chiapas.
Mabel grew up in the local village and learnt about the medicinal plants of the desert from her mother. With this instinctive knowledge passed down in the oral tradition of the land, she developed her own style of healing with the desert plants. She also formalised her training through medical herbalism. Mabel teaches and gives healing session in the nearby city of Matehuala.

In this retreat there is not a daily schedule already set since the work will depend on the circle. Please read the full description of the retreat. You will be doing some practices and ceremonies with the group and some by yourself in the desert. There will be movement (shamanic yoga), meditations, sound ceremonies, ceremonies in the desert spiral and ceremonies in the open desert. Some practices will be ongoing. We will also be meeting every day and looking at the dream of the night and the dream of the day. This program is very dynamic in the sense that the timing of the practices and ceremonies come out of your personal experience, and the group experience, which includes messages you and the circle receive in meditations and ceremonies. The program will include the following -
The Medicine Wheel. Balance of mind, body, spirit, and emotion. The Medicine Wheel is a map which teaches balance and healing. Each participant establishes their orientation to the four directions and the four elements as a strong and secure base for their ongoing dreaming and healing. A technique is given that teaches the individual their strong and weak elements and how to balance them.
The Healing Tree. In coordination with the conscious breath, working with trees is a more profound means through which we can find clarity. We open the doors of perception so that we see through the surface of the tree to the energy which sustains it. We learn how we can receive information from another energy body through our intent. Trees hold the deep wisdom of the breath.
The Dreams held in Stones and Rocks. Stone people’ hold memory. We learn how to read the memory held in stones. This will help us to read the memory held in our bones. We identify the memories held, repeated emotional and mental habits, like time traps. We then learn to release the memory from the body.
Animal guides. Animal guides teach us how to be in a body. They guide us into different parts of the human body, showing what is unnatural or out of balance. They give us instinctive and intuitive information which can lead to deep release and healing. They are also guides in the movement between dimensions (dreams), enabling us to master multi-dimensionality.
Human Teachers of the Dream. These dream teachers are the most advanced guides of our own condition. We connect with energies that would be useful to you – priestess, priest, shaman, Buddha, Jesus, Isis, Shiva, Shakti etc. Sometimes these guides have no name they are just felt. Human spirit guides can also be people that we know who have died or even people we know who are still alive. We develop and maintain this connection with our human spirit teachers.
The Dream of the Night and the Dream of the Day. We look at this word ‘dream’. We look at the way of ‘life as dream’, and therefore the relation between the dream of the night and the dream of the day. We look at the idea of waking up in the dream of our lives so that we become the co-creators of our own dream, the writer of our own book of life. We learn different ways in which we can perceive, understand and respond to dreaming information. We look at death as the transformation between one dream state and another dream state. We also look at the term ‘dreaming body’ and look at its meaning and function in our work here.
The Inner Crystal Skull. Ceremony of connection with your crystalline intelligence.
The 12 Keys. These 12 keys are practical methods to open the dreaming body. The 12 techniques derive from the meanings of the 12 numbers, the 12 sounds in the musical chromatic scale, the 12 colours of the colour wheel, and the 12 positions in the medicine wheel. When all of the 12 directions are mastered, the doorways to the Sacred Geometry in the number 12 are opened revealing the essential principal of harmonic vibration in the universal song. This harmonic vibration enables us to make clear balanced decisions, to heal ourselves, to heal others, and to liberate our creative fire.
Cacao ceremony. This sound ceremony opens the heart to the beauty of pure awareness. Using the sacred plant medicine of Cacao, the sound can allow the heart to expand and explore the relation with the cosmic web.
Teacher plant ceremony. We open to the spirit of plants. Many of the cactus in the desert are called the ‘gift from the stars’ since they bring such clear and conscious information about our meaning and purpose on this planet. We open to the spirit of Tatiwari, the sacred fire, learning to listen to the way in which fire communicates, translating the energies of the plant spirits into physical sensations, new thought forms and clear visions.
29 March. Return transport to Mexico City.
