The Toltec Knowledge Base with Joel Schafer
Expand your dreaming awareness by utilizing energetic and shamanic movements, breath work, guided recapitulation, and shadow reflection. Our guest is Shamanic Dreaming Arts teacher, Joel Schafer. Joel talks about the shamanic practices of the Toltecs which are described in novel form in the Carlos Castenda books and describes how movements called magical passes can be used to induce trance states. We talk about the value of recapitulation and gazing and how we can enter alternate realities both from both the lucid dreaming and awake states. After the break, we take a call from Kelly from Santa Cruz who initiates a conversation about retro-causality and alchemy. We end by talking about finding your wolf pack and turning off the hard voices in our heads.
BIO: Joel Schafer is a personal empowerment mentor & shamanic dreaming arts teacher. Through online courses, one-on-one mentoring & in-person workshops, Joel trains people in a highly effective way to reclaim vital energy & attention utilizing the Toltec knowledge base. These are powerful nonlinear redistribution techniques that guide & support students in discovering clear purpose, increasing awareness, getting grounded, reclaiming focus & accessing strong intent. Joel is also an excellent listener and mirror, offering practical but magical solutions to life’s challenges.
