Our world’s spiritual leaders, mystics, gurus, and prophets are revered - but are considered "impractical dreamers" whose suggestions for love and peace don't seem applicable to modern realities.
There is another tradition - the shamanic tradition - that is based on "wild creation" - it's a tradition that works with what "IS" rather than "what should be.
Practical dreaming involves accessing and using the innate intelligence of our inherent design - accessing inner potentialities and resources that seem magical but that are a natural expression of our true capacities - and even though they seem to be the stuff of dreams, they are now being rediscovered in the latest research and developments in neuroscience.
Shaman's have long anticipated these incredible times of transition we’re living in now - and have long taught practical readiness for this new world. Francis will introduce a 6 month course in shamanic wisdom and practices that will begin in the North Bay Area on the Summer Solstice of June 2015.
Francis Rico apprenticed with his Spanish grandfather. From this early start, his life work has been to follow the pathways of indigenous shamanic wisdom traditions around the world. He works with young people, spiritual seekers, shamanic practitioners, and with people with problems. He is the author of the instant classic A Shaman’s Guide to Deep Beauty and co-author of Dreaming Heaven. His work is sponsored by the WildWorld Foundation.
