Description of the Retreat

Centre of the Conscious Dream (Established 2000)
25 years of retreats in Mexico.
March 15-29 2025
Walking the Soul Home.  

The Circle of 12.We are working first of all with the body as a channel of your own soul. The soul passes through the life of this human body and many interferences prevent the body from being this clear channel for the soul’s journey home. Many souls do not pass through the human life but get caught in unresolved karma from their soul experience that they came here to resolve. We are focusing in the first two days on how to open the body as a channel and how to let go of the blocks which prevent us being an open channel for our own soul, looking to find the karmic resolutions still to be seen. This will entail opening to extending our dreaming bodies into both future and past stages of our soul journey, and learning how to release repeated memories we still hold in our physical form.

When the body is a channel for your soul, the soul can find its way home, and we are intending to experience the soul arrival whilst we are still in our human body, the deepest sense of homecoming.
We then move onto opening the body as a channel for souls. This is an act of service. There are many souls who are lost, disembodied and confused. The channels we make in the body, particularly in the ceremonial spaces we share, provide an opening and a calling for these souls to pass through and find their way home.

Walking the souls home.

This then opens us to be able to experience the natural vortex of the sacred mountain in the desert centre as a channel of souls, and not only human souls. We will open our human channel to the Earth channel and together breathe together the passage of times. In this way we will be able to connect with this planetary body and both witness and assist in the fluid relation between civilisations from stars to earth and from earth to stars.

Walking the Earth home.

In order to achieve this work as a useful channel, we will need to change perspective of our seeing. We will be looking and walking from the place of our star and of the stars from which we came and from which our essence is projected. Breathing from the star. This is a radical shift in the way we see ourselves and the way in which we see.
Walking the stars home.

The Circle of 12

The circle of 12 is a channelling circle. We are gathering as a circle for the channelling of the 12 opens portals. The work is for you, that is, the members of the circle, but it is also for this planet, and for consciousness. We work both inside and outside, on sacred sites and with each other. The relationship between circle members is important so there is some work also in listening to the tones of the other 11, and feeling or seeing their tone (colour and sound) in relation to ours. Harmonic resolution is our intent, and when we achieve this, we become very useful channels for the universe. The circle has many functions –
– healing of the members of the circle,
– healing of the place where we are dreaming
– healing of the culture and society
– opening up channels for the release of trapped souls
– re-activating old vortices, for example stone circles
– space and energy clearance
– opening time lines for the movements of souls
– facilitating the communication between the star and the earth
– re-connecting civilisations of the sky with this crystal rock planet.

Sometimes we work with specific issues that arise from the dreaming during the week, and there is always deep listening to sense where the movement of the circle should be going.
The circle essentially has a job to do. Its function is to channel the principle of the 12 original dreamers who dreamed the universe. The work is based on the world-wide traditions of the  crystalline intelligence. The North American Indians have the tradition of the 12 dreamers who meet to connect with the 12 grandmother dreamers who dream from their position in the sky (stars). Their dreaming utilized also the crystal skulls to connect with the grandmothers.  The Mayans have the tradition of the 12 crystal skulls, which when brought together, change the angle and vibration of the earth axis. The Australian Aboriginals also have this information in their mythology. Related to these traditions are in Japanese mythology, the 12 Gods create from the place of their celestial chairs on the 12 clouds, and in Vedic traditions, the hearts chakra is made of 12 petals.

The heart chakra is the means through which we open to the 12 original seeds of consciousness. The twelve are the means through which the unconditional transforms into the conditional. This unconditional energy, being free from the constrictions of both time and form, holds pure potential. This potential, sometimes called the seeds of change, when managed consciously, can bring fundamental healing. It is also the wave behind the creative movement. The circle of 12 dreamers develop themselves and their relation with each other on a subtle energetic level so that they are in the position to channel the unconditional for themselves as individuals, for the circle, for the land where they work, their culture, for humanity in general, for the planet earth, and for consciousness.

The facilitator creates spaces, particularly using sound and colour, in which the dreaming body can open up to these expanded states of seed consciousness. There are also specific ceremonies with the inner crystal skull in which the human has the potential to access the crystalline grid in the planet earth, and through this crystal clarity, the power in mind to connect with the 12 universal dreamers, breathers, seers.

The repercussions for this work for the individual is to develop a deeper understanding of harmonic resonance in their being, to develop their capacity as a seer. (The sight of the visionary is a metaphor. ‘Seeing’ can also include feeling, sensing and thinking.) This will help their healing abilities and their creative functions. There are also repercussions for the earth and for the sky, as in essence, the work enables the double-headed universal serpent (quetzalcoatl) to breathe into the planetary and human bodies, and this unconditional breath when brought into consciousness is a natural cause of change and movement towards a deeper level of conscious being.

Ceremony (inside and outside) Meditations. Movement. Creative expression.
During the week we will be travelling some days to outside energy power points in nature.

 

Teacher/Teachings

Daniel Stone

Daniel stone’s life quest has been to understand his ‘dreaming’.  As a child, his dreaming experience at night was more real than his experience in the day.  In order to try and find the bridge, he explored psycho-therapeutic theories (in particular Carl Jung) and artistic movements (painting, music, theatre, literature).

For ten years, he traveled widely, and It was through the shamanic path working with indigenous shamans, in particular, the Australian Aboriginals, Tibetan Buddhism (Bon shamanism), and the Toltec wisdom of central America, that he found a language that could bring together the night with the day.  Life as dream.
He has received various initiations, in particular the crystalline intelligence (inner crystal skull), and holds dreaming circles in Mexico, North America, Europe and Australia.  He founded the Mexican desert Centre of the Conscious Dream in 2000.
Daniel is the author of ‘the dreamer who dreams you’ (axis-mundi press), and ‘Chu-Ra – the change of time’ (Circle).  He is an established international exhibiting artist and musician (www.paintingthefuture.com).

Yuri Corzo
Yuri Corzo describes himself as a communicator.  He is trained in Mayan and other native Mexican traditions.  The basis of his teachings are the communications from the four elements.  He specialises in Fire Ceremonies, Limpias (cleaning with plants), drum making, and sacred plant ceremonies.  With his wife, he runs a retreat centre - Casa Tatiwari - near San Christobal de las Casas.

Facilities

The Centre of the Conscious Dream.

The centre of the conscious dream is in the desert of San Luis Potosi at the end of the Wirrikuta pilgrimage route. Free from the distractions and interference of the city, it offers space and time. You can walk undisturbed in each direction and your eyes can wander uninterrupted to the horizon.

You can see a twenty minute video which gives the history of the centre and shows the area on the following link.

Timetable

March 15. Travel to the Centre of the Conscious Dream.

March 16. Start of our program.

In this retreat there is not a daily schedule already set since the work will depend on the circle. Please read the full description of the retreat. You will be doing some practices and ceremonies with the group and some by yourself in the desert. There will be movement (shamanic yoga), meditations, sound ceremonies, ceremonies in the desert spiral and ceremonies in the open desert. Some practices will be ongoing. We will also be meeting every day and looking at the dream of the night and the dream of the day. This program is very dynamic in the sense that the timing of the practices and ceremonies come out of your personal experience, and the group experience, which includes messages you and the circle receive in meditations and ceremonies. The program will include the following -

The Medicine Wheel. Balance of mind, body, spirit, and emotion. The Medicine Wheel is a map which teaches balance and healing. Each participant establishes their orientation to the four directions and the four elements as a strong and secure base for their ongoing dreaming and healing. A technique is given that teaches the individual their strong and weak elements and how to balance them.

The Healing Tree. In coordination with the conscious breath, working with trees is a more profound means through which we can find clarity. We open the doors of perception so that we see through the surface of the tree to the energy which sustains it. We learn how we can receive information from another energy body through our intent. Trees hold the deep wisdom of the breath.

The Dreams held in Stones and Rocks. Stone people’ hold memory. We learn how to read the memory held in stones. This will help us to read the memory held in our bones. We identify the memories held, repeated emotional and mental habits, like time traps. We then learn to release the memory from the body.

Animal guides. Animal guides teach us how to be in a body. They guide us into different parts of the human body, showing what is unnatural or out of balance. They give us instinctive and intuitive information which can lead to deep release and healing. They are also guides in the movement between dimensions (dreams), enabling us to master multi-dimensionality.

Human Teachers of the Dream. These dream teachers are the most advanced guides of our own condition. We connect with energies that would be useful to you – priestess, priest, shaman, Buddha, Jesus, Isis, Shiva, Shakti etc. Sometimes these guides have no name they are just felt. Human spirit guides can also be people that we know who have died or even people we know who are still alive. We develop and maintain this connection with our human spirit teachers.

The Dream of the Night and the Dream of the Day. We look at this word ‘dream’. We look at the way of ‘life as dream’, and therefore the relation between the dream of the night and the dream of the day. We look at the idea of waking up in the dream of our lives so that we become the co-creators of our own dream, the writer of our own book of life. We learn different ways in which we can perceive, understand and respond to dreaming information. We look at death as the transformation between one dream state and another dream state. We also look at the term ‘dreaming body’ and look at its meaning and function in our work here.

The Inner Crystal Skull. Ceremony of connection with your crystalline intelligence.

The 12 Keys. These 12 keys are practical methods to open the dreaming body. The 12 techniques derive from the meanings of the 12 numbers, the 12 sounds in the musical chromatic scale, the 12 colours of the colour wheel, and the 12 positions in the medicine wheel. When all of the 12 directions are mastered, the doorways to the Sacred Geometry in the number 12 are opened revealing the essential principal of harmonic vibration in the universal song. This harmonic vibration enables us to make clear balanced decisions, to heal ourselves, to heal others, and to liberate our creative fire.

Cacao ceremony. This sound ceremony opens the heart to the beauty of pure awareness. Using the sacred plant medicine of Cacao, the sound can allow the heart to expand and explore the relation with the cosmic web.

Teacher plant ceremony. We open to the spirit of plants. Many of the cactus in the desert are called the ‘gift from the stars’ since they bring such clear and conscious information about our meaning and purpose on this planet. We open to the spirit of Tatiwari, the sacred fire, learning to listen to the way in which fire communicates, translating the energies of the plant spirits into physical sensations, new thought forms and clear visions.

29 March. Return transport to Mexico City.

Testimonials

Testimonials:

Helen, the retreat was mind bending and I am glad I participated, thank you!
Vicky Bye, Tumbler Ridge, B.C. (Mexico - Centre of the Conscious Dream - Apr/11)
This trip for me was blissful - so good for me because of a mix of  unique cultural experiences as well as inner journeying.  I was happy  with the accommodations, affordable cost and itinerary and the group on the whole was youthful, mature and inspiring with big hearts. Our practices and meditations along the way were offbeat but I really like  that.  Daniel took care of our basic needs and has put together a surreal, accessible, well thought out program to develop our dreaming bodies.  And I had lots of dreams!  My hope is to continue practicing what I have learned for healing and expansion of self and hopefully others. My journeying now continues here in Canada as life goes on and I hope to do another Sacred Earth Journey of this calibre again!

Irene Dulay, Burnaby, B.C. (Mexico - Centre of the Conscious Dream - Oct/10)
I have traveled, in the past, with Sacred Earth Journeys to Peru and Egypt and both times returned a different person.  Well, it's happened yet again.  The trip to Mexico at Daniel and Arbolita's centre was quite profound for me as it really helped me to reconnect with the earth and, ultimately, with parts of me that I had neglected or forgotten.  The simplicity and peace of what is offered is not to be missed and was exactly what I needed.  Thanks Helen for offering such unique experiences that I, otherwise, might not find on my own.

Tara Alain, Squamish, B.C. (Mexico - Centre of the Conscious Dream - Apr/09)
I am very pleased that I went on this journey. It was perfect for me! Thank you!! I liked it all, the food, the teachers, the accommodation. I especially liked the camping and being in one place for longer. I found the group perfect! I learned lots of things in practise, stuff I only read in books, for me that was the most important  part. I would consider going on another trip with Sacred Earth Journeys.

Christel Vissers, The Netherlands (Centre of the Conscious Dream - Apr/09)
My experience with the Intuitive Shamanic Training Course was wonderful and very rewarding.  I faced many challenges which offered an abundance of personal and spiritual growth and I gained much wisdom from all the insightful teachers we were privileged to encounter.  I also met an amazing group of people with whom I shared laughter and tears, joy and pain.  It was all an amazing experience and one which I am very grateful for.
