Toltec
Workshops and Training
"The
power and ways are given to us to be passed on to others: to
think or do anything else is pure selfishness. We get more by
giving them away; if we don't give them away, we
lose them."
Frank
Fools Crow
Sioux Spiritual Elder/Healer
All
training courses are presented in the correct order as outlined
by Don Juan/Don Genara. Our work is not a philosophy or belief
system, but an active series of training practices similar
to the martial arts in approach. We conceive of "sorcery"
as a practical living experience rooted in inner silence and
a direct relationship with energy, the natural power and Grandmother
Earth.
It
is our contention that modern man's problems (emotionally,
sociologically, spiritually, physically and environmentally)
have occurred because of our movement away from natural laws
of the earth and spirit. Thus, AOTW's function is to reintroduce
the participants to the enormous power of Grandmother Earth
and the natural powers of our universe for both the purpose
of balance and freedom. AOTW maintains the highest respect
and humility for this work, as it is sacred.
