Astroshamanism is a
holistic system of healing aimed at expanding human awareness through the
integration of shamanism, astrology, multidimensional arts, western and eastern
spirituality and the contemporary developments in planetary consciousness.
The basic intent of
this work is to enable individuals and groups to establish connections with
holistic and spiritual sources of healing, releasing perceptions based on
separation, promoting forgiveness and moving towards reconciliation, harmony
and unity.
Astroshamanism is the
result of visions and studies developed by Franco Santoro since 1976, along with
researches in the western, middle-eastern and eastern spiritual healing
traditions, the contributions of shamans, seekers,
groups and centres from every part of the world, the Osho Multiversity (India), and the teaching experience gained at the Findhorn
Foundation (Scotland).
The Gnostic traditions, A
Course in Miracles, and other non-dualistic paths also
represent a significant source of inspiration in the astroshamanic approach of
our Institute.
Shamanism is the
most ancient and widespread method of healing. In all parts of our planet
throughout all ages we find evidence of shamanic practices. The distinctive
feature of shamanism is the experience of expanded states of consciousness,
luminous areas of awareness beyond our conditioned minds, where we can unveil
our authentic nature and develop healing resources for the benefit of the
environment and ourselves.
Astrology is the oldest
holistic language, which in astroshamanism we use experientially through
visions, movement, sound and situations aimed at expanding awareness and
supporting significant transformational processes. This involves relating with
the zodiac signs as archetypal core energies experiencing them in our body,
emotions, mind and spirit, retrieving and restoring their healing power.
In ancient times the
starry firmament constituted the major setting for wisdom and guidance,
especially as regards the understanding of God’s will and the mysteries of
life. The sky was the current equivalent of scriptures, yet also of libraries,
cinema, Internet or television. It provided data concerning every aspect of
existence, from the most mundane to the most sacred. This is why astrology
is considered the oldest source of information, preceding any other method used
by mankind to attain knowledge. Yet this does not mean that astrology per se
provides knowledge. Similarly to the Internet, it merely offers a structure,
which can either be used to promote wisdom or ignorance, reality or illusion.
This also applies to astroshamanism, which can be described as the experiential
application of astrology and the most ancient operative attitude to pursue
knowledge.
With astroshamanism
the seeker establishes a direct connection with the information derived from
astrology, verifying on the spot the territory described by the starry map.
Astrology offers maps, while shamanism uses them experientially. And again,
astrology and shamanism can sponsor wisdom or ignorance, light or darkness,
depending on whether the intent of the seeker is based on separation or unity,
fear or love. As a result, throughout history, astrology and shamanism
have been used in most controversial ways. This is also the case for all
religious and spiritual paths, philosophies and thought systems, modern and
ancient, all originally stemming from astrology and shamanism, i.e.
astroshamanism.
Astroshamanism is a way of
acknowledging both the voyager and the map, and yet the way in which the map is
used depends on the voyager and it is unrelated to the map itself.
