The Authentic Self is the one who knows your purpose and who feels the passion for bringing your gifts to the world. It must be released from the masks of illusion you learned to wear as a child to hide and protect yourself. You can free yourself from your personal past by learning to connect with your self, your intuition, your spirit help, and your body and to trust that these connections are clear and true. The energies that block these connections can be released through the magic of shamanic rituals while you embody and reconnect with your Authentic Self.
Masks is a unique opportunity to:
- Shed the past to awaken your Inner Healer.
- Release the aspects of your self that no longer serve you.
- Engage the power of Spirit through ritual and shamanic journeying.
- Create and utilize the energies of masks, altars, and personal power objects.
- Renew your commitment to express your soul's authenticity.
"I got 10 years of therapy in 5 days! For people who are ready to do their own work...this work creates the opportunity to go really deep, in a safe container, and have an absolute ball doing it." The Cycle '98
1.5 Birth of the Healer:
Come work with your masks, mirrors, and your relationship with spirit. Delve more deeply into the Body as Teacher and Life as Teacher with lots of journeying, dancing, and mirrorwork practice. We will use these teachers to craft your plan for living your Authentic Self with integrity and impeccability in each day. You also have another opportunity to step up to the Fire and release what no longer serves you.
The reclamation of power from the depth of your Shadow Self is a necessary step toward living in authenticity. The Shadow is a part of ourselves whose expression we fear; afraid of the strength of its urges and afraid that it makes us ugly or evil. We repress the Shadow Self, forgetting that it is only a collective nightmare from which we could awaken. Instead we cut ourselves off and then wonder why life has no direction, joy, or passion. In this workshop you will learn to transform your Shadow from enemy to ally and reclaim your passion, perspective, humor, and power.
Pre-requisite: Masks of Illusion and the Authentic Self
Shadow Self is a unique opportunity to:
- Face fears to awaken your Inner Warrior.
- Transform your patterns of denial and self-destruction.
- Free yourself from addictions and habits of giving away power.
- Engage the power of ritual to heal and transform.
- Use ecstatic dance to find the path of truth in your body.
"Somewhere, deep inside, I felt a connection to life as never before. I felt a 'yes' emerge-that dances with all of life." The Cycle '95
2.5 Birth of the Warrior:
In Dance of the Shadow Self we experienced first hand the fact that shoving the best aspects of your self into the Shadow is not an acceptable coping option for your Authentic Self. Each Shadow Self mask is really the energy of a "worthy ally". You turned these allies into enemies when you stuffed these powerful aspects of your self into The Shadow. Your work with these energies is to transform each "enemy" into an "ally." Come learn exactly what you need to do to transform your Monster, Sustainer, Seducer, and Inspirer into the allies needed to live your soul's purpose.

In the storm of contemporary life, the person of authenticity and integrity stands balanced in the center, One-With-All-Things. S/he moves through life parting the waters of chaos, reclaiming balance in every moment. In this work you will explore the patterning of masculine and feminine energies in your body that allows life to throw you off center. Here you will discover the Sacred Union that illuminates all your relationships, which are but reflections of your primary relationship-the one between you and the Great Mystery.
Pre-requisite: Dance of the Shadow Self
The Sacred Masculine/Feminine is a unique opportunity to:
- Merge with your Divine Self to awaken your Inner Teacher.
- Gain access to pure Yin and pure Yang powers.
- Release the aspects of yourself that stand in the way of Perfect Inner Union.
- Learn to balance of all energies of life within your Heart.
- Come into Wholeness and experience the Divine, Oneness-with-All-Things.
"I can only say that I was actually transformed by the process, by the ritual, the experiences, the journeying and the interaction with others and myself. Masks of Illusion became a catalyst for the changes I sought in my life, and for a few I didn't realize I was seeking!" The Cycle '97
3.5 Birth of the Teacher
Most people don't really get The Sacred F/M Self the first time through, so don't worry. Just come to 3.5 and discover the person of power you could be. "Feminine" and "masculine" are words used to teach you how to run AND NOT RUN your power. Your inner feminine power yearns to be fully expressed as its true Yin self. Your inner masculine power yearns to be fully expressed as its true Yang self. You yearn for your Divine Self, the true Inner Teacher, to live in the center of your life. You must work actively and consciously to create these transformations. Come discover the path you must walk to complete the transformation.

"We are the dreams of our Ancestors..." and we are also their nightmares. All that remains unresolved in your ancestral line, the violence, illness, and suffering, has impact on your life today. You are the means by which they heal. By aligning "their bones" you are released from their nightmare, freeing your Inner Visionary to connect with your sacred dream. You can live what is good, true, and beautiful in your line, allowing it to support the clear and powerful expression of your Authentic Self in the world.
Pre-requisite: The Sacred Masculine/Feminine Self
Bones is a unique opportunity to:
- Heal the Ancestral lines to awaken your Inner Visionary.
- Reconnect to the sacred dream the Universe dreams of you.
- Cultivate the skills to bring your true gifts to the world.
- Release the illness and reconnect to the power of your Ancestors.
- Experience the passion that arises only when you do what you came here to do.
"The catharsis of emotions I experienced during this time was unlike any I've undergone before. To go so deep and to come out clutching a real emotion instead of shutting down...forced me to look deeply into myself in the most honest way I have to this point in my life." The Cycle '96
4.5A & B Birth of the Visionary
The Inner Visionary makes the truth visible. The Visionary is the relentless power within you that constantly extends an invitation to you to be who you are. Come learn what is necessary to maintain your authenticity, develop your inner vision and heighten your intuitive gifts. 4.5A is the prerequisite for 4.5B. In this workshop we will develop your path forward to create full health and maturity in each of the Inner Selves (Warrior, Teacher, Healer, and Visionary). Only then can the Inner Selves work together to bring your soul's purpose into full manifestation in your life.
