2021-22 Multidimensional First Aid Course: The 2021-22 Multidimensional First Aid Course focuses on the relationship with other dimensions, the liberation from dualism, the search for your true identity. This course is for those who are experientially aware that there are multiple dimensions beyond consensus reality. The purpose is to share healing tools aimed at retrieving your multidimensional nature and promoting forms of communication with luminous parallel realities, spirit helpers and ultimately with God. We explore the higher, lower, and medium features of multidimensional realities, employing references to different spiritual traditions, along with elements of multidimensional and experiential astrology. In particular, we employ the astroshamanic model of the binary system, whereby each encounter will adapt to the characteristics of the lunar cycle and the astrological signs of the Sun and Moon. The course includes a total of 22 podcast episodes of about 90 minutes each accompanied by extensive texts downloadable in pdf and additional audio material. The suggested time interval between one lesson and another is 14 days, so the course can be completed in a year, where there are no maximum limits. The lessons can also be followed without respecting the chronological order using the references of the present sun-lunar cycle. During the course it is also possible to share experiences, ask questions and be accompanied by a mentor. The course is bilingual (Italian and English). For info click here.

A Course in Supernal Touch 2020-2021: The Supernal Touch (formerly Astroshamanic Touch) is a spiritual healing method aimed at soul retrieval, release of our separate perception of existence, and awakening of multidimensional sensuality. Through the sensitive use of contacts and postures, in full respect of the integrity of everyone, the touch releases conditioning and grievances, awakening the memory of one’s original intent, together with the strength and clarity to proceed brightly along the path of life. The Touch is articulated through the direct relationship with every aspect of our being, as represented by astrological symbolism, deriving from it physical sensations, emotions, intuitions that allow us to understand the essence of our potential and who we really are. This course also explores the sphere of human relationships from a shamanic and multidimensional perspective. The first Supernal Touch (formerly Astroshamanic Touch) course was held by Franco Santoro at the Findhorn Foundation in the north of Scotland as an intensive residential workshop from 22 February to 7 March 2003. In this channel we provide the recordings of some courses on the topic, starting with a one-year online course held in 2020-2021 and the Multidimensional First Aid, as from 12 October 2021 up to May 2022. The course is structured in a flexible way and adapted to different types of needs and allows participation in the short, medium, or long term, online, in person, in groups or individually. The last eleven sessions are held both in English and Italian, whereas the first 25 are in Italian only.

A Course in Spiritual Healing & Archetypes 2022-2023: This course experientially explores spirituality, mysticism and shamanism using references related to the archetypes of tarot and astrology. The intent of the course is to share information and recovery practices of our multidimensional nature, considering the vertical relationship with the spiritual world, together with the conflict or integration of the horizontal relationship with the material reality. For this purpose we will employ references to Western, Middle Eastern and Eastern spiritual and religious traditions. English and Italian are both used during the session. The use of these two languages, in addition to allowing speakers of both languages to take the course, also aims to promote multidimensional awareness and a related trance state. Every language creates a reality and using more than one language helps you not get trapped in one reality, which is the main feature of a separate reality. Essential information will be provided in English and Italian, even if what is said in one language can sometimes be slightly different from what is said in the other. Some pieces of music by authors or singers linked to the Binary of the session (Sun and Moon position) are often used, for strategic purposes and to trigger specific states of consciousness. References, including texts in both English and Italian, are provided in the podcast.
HEALING SOUNDS & MUSIC: All of our CDs and MP3s are produced specifically for astroshamanic healing and energy work, as described in the Institute’s literature. The sounds promote deep relaxation and access to expanded states of consciousness, encouraging the revitalization and harmonization of the subtle energy centers of the body and the environment. This process tends to stimulate the release of resentments, toxins and blocked models, paving the way for profound transformational processes. These works can also be used to support a wide range of healing practices, according to one’s guidance or path and spiritual tradition, and include shamanic journeys and trance dance, body work and massage, supernal touch, active and passive meditation, healing rituals, healing and prayers.

Introductory course to Supernal Touch & multidimensional sensuality: (in English & Italian). The Supernal Touch is a spiritual healing method aimed at recovering the soul, releasing the separate perception of existence and awakening multidimensional sensuality. Through the sensitive use of contacts and postures, with full respect for the integrity of each individual, touch releases conditioning and resentments, reawakening the memory of one's original intent, together with the strength and clarity to proceed luminously along the path of life. Over the course of a series of meetings, online or in person, we will discover ways to use physical contact to promote states of expanded consciousness, recover parts of the soul, awaken talents and integrate them into everyday life. In these meetings we will work above all on the recognition, deciphering and energetic satisfaction of our desires and intentions, using knowledge expansion practices that involve sensualizations, postures, movements and physical contacts with your body and the environment. These meetings serve as an introduction to a one-year training.
The Astroshamanic Binary System: The aim of the course is to share tools for soul retrieval and spiritual or multidimensional healing, considering the vertical relationship with the spiritual world and God, together with the conflict or integration of the horizontal relationship with material reality. For this purpose we will refer to the Astroshamanic Binary System, and the related astrological archetypes, accompanied by references to Western, Middle Eastern and Eastern spiritual traditions. The course explores the 144 binaries combinations between Sun and Moon, and the Lunar cycles for one year, with a total of 12 series, each consisting of three sessions. See preliminary notes at the end. Per informazioni generali vedi / For general info on binaries see: https://astrosciamanesimo.org/library/sistema-binario-soleluna/

Multidimensional Sexuality, 9-10 May 2020, online
(In English) Originally scheduled in Berlin before the pandemic spread, this workshop took place by Skype and reduced to two two-hour sessions. This audio is an excerpt of the first session. This is a unique workshop, which explores sexuality and intimate relationships from a multidimensional and shamanic perspective with the aim of healing connections with yourself, partners, relatives, friends, significant people in your life, as well as unseen forces and Spirit. Drawing from the astroshamanic healing approach, we will track and release blocks that inhibit the capacity to express our true sexuality, identifying the underlying issues that hinder relationships, promoting compassion, healing, peace and fulfilment. The workshop is designed for all types of individuals, sexually active or in chastity, encompassing singles or couples in intimate, platonic or spiritual connections. We will use soul retrieval practices in order to trace and restore fragmented parts of our being, identifying the hidden themes that subvert our sexual and relationship life, promoting ways of healing, realization and well-being. “For ages on our planet conflicts around sex issues have been a major cause of suffering, addiction and frustration. As we move into a path of rapid spiritual reawakening, it is vital to acknowledge these wounds and strenuously promote ways to heal them. From a multidimensional perspective, sex is a symbolic representation of the energy pervading the web of life, often described as an ongoing multidimensional intercourse between the earth and the sky, the seen and unseen. Many healers and also ordinary, yet highly sensitive, people stand on the threshold of this copulation, right at the point where polarities meet, between the ordinary and non-ordinary, day and night, life and death. Whether they know it or not, they are intensely tied to the essence of creation, stirring up the energy and using it to sustain the web of life. As they do so, they are involved in healing soul-fragmentation, which is the result of belief systems based on separation and the cause of all fears held in our culture. People who are aware of this healing process work at an archetypal or collective level, as opposed to the personal or self-centred levels most individuals operate from. As a result, they constantly move to different ways of perceiving and using sex energy. Due to the conventional denial and distortion of such themes, this can be unsettling for them and their relationships…” (read on at https://astroshamanism.org/sexuality-holistic-awareness-and-shamanism/)
