Richmond IONS December 2023 Meeting

“The {He}Art of Shamanism.”

Our December 16, 2023, program will feature a talk by Sunny Beach a/k/a Suun Eater, a Baltimore-based metaphysician and urban shaman. In his own words, his talk will be about the following:

An exploration into the wisdom, power and mysteries of wholistic medicine, mysticism, magick, alchemy, nature, intention, ascension, our multidimensional reality, consciousness and creation.

These are a few of the topics we will be discussing and exploring together: mental, emotional, physical and spiritual bodies; non-duality (s.t.o./s.t.s.), heart centered alchemy; the 12 universal laws; the 12 laws of karma; the laws and application of magick and alchemy; wholistic medicine and wholistic healing modalities (psychospiritual, emotional and physical wholistic medicine through healing personal, ancestral, planetary and galactic karma)

In addition, we will address the ego (including temperance, attachments, and archetypes); shadow work (negative ego death of the false self and polarity integration); and astro theology and cosmology; chakras, nadis, meridians, ley lines, densities and dimensions.

We will also touch on empathy, clairvoyance, intuition, claircognizance, telepathy, telekinesis, OBE, astral projection, psychic abilities and paranormal aspects of consciousness (ordinary, non-ordinary consciousness, higher states of consciousness and awareness).

Furthermore, we will address plant medicine, allies, vision quests, working with power and understanding nature (mineral, plant-animal, human, angelic, elemental and devic kingdoms).

In addition, we will address individual, planetary, solar, universal, galactic and cosmic consciousness; the power of thoughts, emotions, intention, intonation (communication), (s)words, spells, sigils, symbols, shapes and colors upon “reality” as we experience it.

Moreover, the areas of DNA, quantum physics (the morphogenetic field and multidensity/multidimensional nature of consciousness as reality); soul retrieval, spiritual sciences, Christ consciousness and unity consciousness are. also included.

Description:

The practice of Authentic Movement is a movement meditation practice of moving and witnessing. Its roots are in Jungian active imagination and supports a process of Awareness and Consciousness from the inner wisdom of the body.

We open to embodied attention, noticing sensations, images, thoughts, and feelings, woven into movement expression from our direct embodied truth. The  movement can be expansive and active, a small gesture, or stillness.

In our time together, I will share some basic principles, explain the form of the practice, and have some time to learn skills for deep listening and expression of what is most authentic and present for you.

We move all the time, and there is no right or wrong way to engage with this practice.
