Opal Myth : An Anagram for Polymath

From site:

"Heart of the Initiate offers tours to Brazil where we help people make sacred inner journeys through an intensive workshop experience. Our Brazil workshops incorporate shamanic ceremonies using the ancient plant teacher, Ayahuasca.

Ayahuasca has been used in the Amazon for thousands of years both as a medicine and as a tool for transformation. We offer this experience to journey within; to a place beyond space and time; to a place you may have forgotten.

The very serious problems that exist in the world contribute to a growing collective anxiety in the human race. For many, it is becoming increasingly difficult just to cope with life. The tenacity of the human species propels us eventually to break free of the bondage that enslaves us. Our destiny is to return to a harmony with each other and with the natural world... our survival depends on it. This gives me hope.

I am enormously grateful to have met many extraordinary people from 49 different countries who have come to Brazil and to reconnect with a primal life force that is within them."

We just put up two new lectures on the Heart of the Initiate website given live last week at the Brazil Ayahuasca Workshops!

The first lecture by Shaman Warinei Wanare is from March 14th, 2007, and is called The Four Sicknesses of Humanity.

The second lecture by Ralph Miller is from March 16th, 2007, and is called Plant-Human Intervention.

Please have a look at these two new lectures fresh and live from our Brazil Ayahuasca Workshops.

Heart of the Initiate will be running two ayahuasca workshops in Bahia, Brazil in September, 2007. There are still a few spaces left, so if you are interested, get in touch with them!

These workshops are incredibly powerful, healing, fun and inspirational. The Heart of the Initiate Team works hard to make sure that your work with the medicine is in a comfortable, safe, open, beautiful and friendly environment.

From Website

We offer one and two week workshops in an extraordinarily beautiful setting along the coast of Bahia, located approximately 700 miles north of Rio de Janeiro. This is where modern Brazilian history began. When the Portuguese first arrived in Brazil, April 22nd 1500, they landed on the soil known today as Bahia. In many ways, Bahia could also be characterized as the cultural heart of Brazil. Samba music has its roots in here. Caipoera, both a dance and a martial art is a pure expression of Bahian culture.

We invite you to experience a powerful week of inner exploration and healing. We will spend our time exploring and opening the subtle doorway through the heart energy. This is the path back to remembering your true divinity and awakening of the true self. As we work through our old, limiting patterns, we begin to heal and reclaim our lost power.
