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
Clementina Ferrer is a multidisciplinary artist whose work seamlessly blend art and mysticism. Her artistic and spiritual journeys began during her university studies at UC Davis, where she started exploring the relationship between creative expression and inner practice. Having traveled extensively since childhood, her experiences across cultures deeply inform both her art and her spiritual path. Time spent in countries such as Ethiopia, India Thailand, Cambodia, Australia, and Mexico has been fundamental to her development as an artist and spiritual teacher. She initially trained in Yoga and Qigong, and later was initiated into the Mexican shamanic tradition. With over 20 years of experience, she has taught both children and adults, guiding them through artistic and spiritual practices. She currently runs a gallery in Queretaro, México, where art and spirituality converge to create a unique space for contemplation learning and practice.
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.
Details of this retreat
We start with your soul journey, from your Star where you began, the movement of your soul through lives and deaths until you came into this body and this lifetime. You can see the context of this lifetime in your soul history and your future soul movement. Your soul breathes through your body.
Then the breath of the universe. The universe is breathed through the 12 suns, the 12 eyes as described in the Vedic scriptures. These were the first creators reflected through the history of Human spirituality -
The 12 causes of existence (nidanas) in Buddhism
The 12 white pyramids in the egg of Osiris in ancient Egyptian scripts
The 12 Greek Gods
The 12 seats surrounding the throne of Odin in the Norse traditions
The 12 Japanese Gods sitting on cushions
The 12 tribes of Israel
The 12 Imans
The 12 petals of the anahata chakra
They all describe the creative combination of this sacred geometry. The harmonic vibrations of the 12 tones of the musical scale and the 12 colours of the colour wheel. All souls are breathed first through the 12 and then evolve through the 12 structure of the cosmic web.
The circle of 12 connect and channel this creative breath. We work with the energies of the crystal skulls, our crystalline consciousness. We work with the crystal skull teachings from the Mayans, Native Americans, Celtic traditions, Australian Aboriginal and Tibeten Buddhist teachings - When 12 skulls are gathered in circle, consciousness opens to the vistas of truth, and of beauty. The secrets of our ancestors are revealed, we can see our soul in this universal dance. The soul dances through the universe aligned with the harmonic sacred geometry of the 12.
In practice, this work enables all of the following -
Healing of the members of the circle through a deeper understanding of harmonic resonance in their being
Developing the capacity of the Seer
Develop healing abilities
