Hello from Teotihuacan! Here’s the “Live from Teotihuacan recorded on Sunday November 20, 2022”. It’s under an hour, and will give you a feeling for Teotihuacan and the experience of being in Teo and the Dreaming House on a journey. In this video, I share the latest in the beauty, magic, mystery, and energetic presence of Teo, along with adventures and stories. You’ll hear from Estrella Blanca, and Ben Carlman too! Please check this video out for a taste of the wonders that await YOUR journey to Teotihuacan, plus this is an opportunity for all of our community who have been to Teo to re-enjoy the deep vibe! With love Francis P.S. Here is a portrait of Quetalpetlatl that Emily Grieves painted for me. It’s remarkably energetically powerful. It IS the presence of the magic and mystery of Teotihuacan. It’s highly recommended to order a giclee of this painting from Emily (sacredartjourneys@hotmail.com) as a connection to include in your life and home. I’ll post all of the possibilities for including this in your life when I return from Mexico! |

Applying Shamanism 2022 Classes and Replays
|
Applying Shamanism Getting Acquainted Francis Rico shares the basics of the 2022 Applying Shamanism program. In this overview, you’ll meet the people who share in supporting the Applying Shamanism community – and get a sense for the scope of the work/play of shamanistic wisdom and practices that support your agile, feral, creative and resourceful action in the realms of magic and miracles. |
 |
|
Introduction to Applying Shamanism We begin Applying Shamanism with an introduction to the program, and its principles and practices. The video of our first gathering includes an overview of Applying Shamanism, with our program schedule & details, an orientation to core shamanic principles with initial practices, and an assignment looking deep into the greatest of all mysteries—the mystery of you. The assignment can be accessed by using the link below. Our meeting concludes with a blessing, and my gratitude for your participation! REPLAY: https://youtu.be/3-Ch82OOKoY?t=1 |

Review with live practice of Personal Assessment and Energetic Alignment This second Applying Shamanism class reviews shamanism, and why we engage in ancient traditional practices like moving from the 1st attention to the 2nd attention, which includes a new vision of “consciousness.” We talk Teotihuacan, and our support for direct experience, with White Star and Ben Carlman. We get into the details of the Personal Assessment practice and Energetic Alignment with artist Janet Holmes, consultant Jen Freeman, and Editor/Publisher Elaine Silver. Topics include: The origins of the Teo Flower, La Fuente de Flores — the “fountain of flowers;” and the unique vision of enlightenment and evolution held by the ancient traditions, taught at Teotihuacan and carried back to the indigenous tribal communities of North and South America. |
 |
|
Applying Shamanism: Practical Alignment, Assembly and Recapitulation This class gathering looks into the difficulty of doing one of the early practices – The Personal Assessment, or “energetic selfie.” This, can be a difficult endeavor when we are not in our “hearts.” When this practice becomes a mental exercise, our minds fight to control the perception that we are multi-dimensional beings! New practices in assembly and the practice of recapitulation are also covered. |
 |
|
Applying Shamanism: Practical Magic with Elaine Silver In this special presentation by Elaine Silver, we learn that stepping into the magic can be big fun and that being playful is a direct connection with flow. We experiment with the “Magic Strip” – a totally impossible energetic power tool that you can create in a couple of minutes. You’ll need some supplies to share in the adventure: blank paper, scissors, scotch tape and a pen. That’s it! Elaine suggests the some ways to use this marvelous majestic morsel of magic below. I am sure that you will come up with more. |

 |
|
Applying Shamanism: Personal History, Ancestral Lineages, This is a special video on “the mystery of your history” – that includes a first look into your matrilineal and patrilineal lineages. This is a look into our personal reality constructs – our energetic assemblies – inquiry that brings us to the profoundly effective shamanic practice of forgiveness. |
 |
|
Applying Shamanism: Shamanic Forgiveness Practice with Francis We explore the work necessary to move out of cultural trance induced amnesia into increasing awareness. The Shamanic Way of forgiveness is explored, and with preparation, we enter into living ceremony. You will be able to do this practice along with this video. It’s a first step in the direction of recovering your energy locked in holding injuries – encapsulated – away from your heart. Have some dried chili peppers, a bandana, and a candle handy, along with a spare chair to place across from you, to stage the ceremony. |
 |
|
Applying Shamanism: Equinox Blessing and Preparation Exploring the big picture – the REALLY BIG PICTURE, and how this Equinox is an opportunity to move into harmony and energetic coherence within yourself. We encounter our heartbreak at what is happening in our world, the devastation and the serious overlapping emergencies that face us, and discover that Yes, there is a way, a better strategy for being resourceful and creative in response! The emergencies facing us are a call for us to EMERGE with the essential gifts we each bring to life. This video includes an exploration of “Living Ceremony”, along with an actual experience. It is worth viewing as preparation, and an orientation to the gift that YOU are! The energetics and influences are continuing, so this is as relevant in this moment as it was for the moment of the Equinox. It is well worth your time. |
 |
|
This is a short half hour catching-up session with Francis – live from Teo and the Dreaming House. Discussing a number of issues that you have brought up, from drumming to “tonal/nagual” – along with a review of the path we’re on and what we’re doing! This is a really short hello and touch-in, in advance of our gathering on Sunday April 3rd at 4:00pm PST. That gathering LIVE will share the adventure, the energetics, and some of the processes of Teotihuacan, along with a visit with our family at the Dreaming House! |
|
|
Applying Shamanism: Live from Teotihuacan Join Francis, Alberto, White Star, Barbara Novak, and Ben Carlman for this special broadcast from our latest journey. We visit the Dreaming House, check in with Alberto, and experience the adventure, magic, and mystery of Teotihuacan-with a focus on the practices that bring you into the profound energetic gifts that Teo offers us! |
 |
|
Applying Shamanism: Spring into Action Join Francis looking into the energetics of Passover and Easter, and what it means in this time of life on the brink. We visit Teo, and enjoy an experience of the ineffable, and we check out the history of goddesses and wild hares – OK – rabbits! Then the going gets real, with an energetic “sacred” selfie of where you are at right now, moving into our work for the next 60 days – radical self care, and recovering our energy from it’s entanglement in the fabric of the “trance”, making the messages of Passover and Easter even more intensely relevant. This meeting is deep and compelling, a must view for active members of Applying Shamanism |

APPLYING SHMANISM: Radical Wellness + Recovering Vibrancy A Special Message I recommend downloading these two documents and printing them for your journal. It will be an enormous benefit to the ease and effectiveness of the work that we are doing, and the practices which will follow, if you read, review, and practice these guidelines. The June Solstice is approaching, so please dive in this week, and we’ll move into shamanic practices on Monday May 2nd at 4:00pm PDT. |

APPLYING SHAMANISM: Stepping into Magic Update Video 1 is a recording of our gathering on Monday, May 2, 2022. We step into the magic, and find that it is still all about YOU! An introduction to toning directly leads to opening your ”third eye” – to SEEING in the imaginal realm of light – where magic and miracles occur. Video 2 with Barbara Novak unlocks the gate to the magical playground where your work with the Mesa shapes and shifts what we call “reality”. It does it with play, with experimenting and seeing connections and opportunities outside of the trance lockdown of the stressed out disempowered world that seems to surround us. This video is a must see if you want to apply shamanism to benefiting your life, and the lives of those you care about! |
 |
|
It STILL is not about anything other than YOU! But now, you are different – expanded, more coherent energetically, capable of reaching into your own energy field to create harmony – to create coherent energy that can be directed with intention into the realm of magic and miracles. A key practice is offered here: toning, using vibration to shake loose calcification of the Pineal Gland, to wake up and vibrate this inner intersection between the apparent world and the unseen world around us, a world that CAN be seen with the “third eye.” Also included is a discussion of shamanic practices, including the Mesa, with recognition that you already have these gifts as part of who you are – they are normal in the realm of the open agile, creative and resourceful being. |
 |
|
Barbara Novak’s video shares the magic of the Mesa – as a playground for shifting what seems to be the operating reality around us. Barbara shares creating and working with the Mesa, and this is highly recommended viewing – in fact, it’s one of the most powerful resources we have if you intend to progress with the ease of creating benefit for yourself and others by applying shamanism – so – watch and enjoy this, and we’ll join with Barbara live in a few weeks to share the magic, and answer any questions that come up for you. |

APPLYING SHAMANISM: Qi-Gong Practice with Jen Freeman We had a wonderful time with Jen Freeman on Wednesday, May 4th, and I know that you’ll LOVE this QiGong practice. There are two versions of this gathering below. The first link includes the practice with commentary and Q&A. The second link contains only the 30 minute class, for those of you that are ready to dive right into it or wish to use it as a daily practice. The White Tara image to the right, is a beautiful visual aid. You may find it helpful to copy it to your desktop, click on the image to enlarge it before copying it. Just seeing it there will begin to shift your experience of awareness to include your hands, feet, third eye, and even what we call “normal” reality… And now, here’s Jen – enjoy! |
 |
|
This video contains an introduction, a half-hour of movement magic, and Q&A at the end. After this, you can use just the half-hour practice version below on a regular basis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0VXFNRwI7c |

Applying Shamanism: Shamanic Roundtable Our Monday May 16 gathering was quite an experience! A gathering of our community, sharing stories, concerns, practices, experiments and shamanic tips! The first half hour of the video replay is a sneak peak at three shamanic practices: I’ll be sending you a short video on each topic/practice because these are core foundational areas of shamanic practice. They are guaranteed to be fun, and to create impressive and immediate results in your life! The following hour of the video, is an intense and interesting conversation with people’s experiences, challenges, successes and concerns. It’s “us” talking with “us.” You can fast forward thru it, sampling what sounds interesting, or take your time, and send me your stories, concerns, questions and reports at francis@shamanzone.com. |

Applying Shamanism: Energy Management Series Hello! Below is a series of three short videos on the deeply personally relevant subject of your “energy management.” Each video is 15 minutes long. Please view these short videos and put the energy management practices into play in your life this coming week. Take notes! This will be very interesting! 2. CONTROLLED FOLLY. This second in the series on energy management, this video considers our relationships within the “trance”, and how we manage our energies in the world around us. It focuses on our relationships within the “trance” state of chronic stress, contraction and disempowerment. 3. DREAMING. In this third vidoe of the series on energy management, the ancient practice of Dreaming is updated into contemporary neurological terms, with a practical application that makes the esoteric realm of Dreaming accessible to us all. The ancient wisdom energy management practice of participating in shaping the “reality” we experience, a reality that is fueled by our energy. This is the area where applying shamanism and cultivating our skills at becoming “Artists of Spirit” comes into play. Yes, into PLAY! We’ll be getting together next Sunday June 12th at 11:00am PDT. And, a reminder to check our schedule below for this month, including the Solstice! Much love, Francis |

Applying Shamanism: A Message From Francis Below is the video replay of our gathering on Sunday, June 12 – looking at the world we’re in and looking at the trance state that dominates our planet. But also, looking at the reality that WE are seeing through the fear based trance control structures. That as the trance is coming apart, the necessity for a creative, resourceful response on our parts is even more urgently needed! WE are emerging in response to the “emergencies” that are facing life on our planet. Along with the video replay below, is a “Daily Practices” piece that gives you the high-lights of which daily practices you can immediately include in your life, especially now, ahead of the Solstice on June 21. Remember that we’re getting together on Monday, June 20th at 4:00pm PDT for a gathering focused on “Living Ceremony.” The practices you include NOW prepare you for this remarkable Solstice opportunity to include the presence of cosmic energies in your personal growth, that we’re seeing as “YOUR TURN!” Finally, for this email – here’s a reminder that in this last month of our current Applying Shamanism Program. Your financial contribution supports this program. It is appreciated, welcomed and necessary for continuing the work in our community, and the follow-up that will support you through the changes that are occurring in our lives and on our planet. To those of you that have contributed – I say thank you! Those of you who have been in-and-out, please remember that we operate on “shaman-time” and that the entire program is available to you below at anytime. Your contribution at this time would be welcome and will ensure the continuation of our gatherings. Extra-finally: Please know that there is always an opportunity available for you to work with me privately, and to join me, White Star and Ben Carlman in Teotihuacan in November. Our fall Teo journey is set for November 16th thru the 22nd. I also invite you to join the three month course “Sourcery – the Magical Art” beginning with the September Equinox and continuing thru the December Solstice of 2022. I recommend doing the Daily Practices for the compelling reason of achieving escape trajectory from the trance, and being ready at this coming Solstice to take YOUR TURN – your personal step out of the trance and into the realm of agile, creative, resourceful and responsive “love in action.” The pdf below contains a summary of Applying Shamanism’s progress from January to June. And, a look ahead into the Great Mystery that by being YOU our world is repaired, healed, and we return to care and compassionate regard for all of life. A short video on energetic flow of your rainbow body, your biophotonic field, will be coming to you before the end of this week. It is of profound benefit and just in time for inclusion in your “Living Ceremony” for the Solstice. For now, SO much love and gratitude – Francis REPLAY: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xzP7-5MHH8 |

I’ll record our preparation, and have it available to you as soon as possible, and even if you watch it Tuesday morning, and do a ceremony later in the day, you’re good!

The Summer Solstice Message and Live Ceremony Details As promised – here is the Solstice & Living Ceremony prep video – include it in your evening or day of the Solstice – no worries about hitting a particular time – this is up to you – and I’m certain that you will catch your wave into a new world!

A Message from Francis In the video replay below, members of our Applying Shamanism community shared visions of our Solstice experiences – and more! We began to explore the structure and fabric of our community – how things connect, how WE connect, and how the unique and essential gifts of people in our community bring so much to our shared interests, concerns, and experiences. I’ll be sending out a special bulletin on community opportunities, possibilities, and connections, along with some dates for an Applying Shamanism gathering each month to stay in touch. There will be a special Teotihuacan gathering in August for our Teo adventurers, to share experiences and re-touch the Teo vibe! So, if YOU are interested in Teotihuacan, and considering coming with us November 16th thru 22nd you are invited to join us! I will also share how to contact me for private sessions – for visioning, for problem solving and reorganizing aspects of your life, and for tuning up your energy and intentions! Thank you! Much love – Francis Applying Shamanism: Solstice Review & Community Roundtable This Community Roundtable looks at the Solstice experiences we had, along with how community support might be created out of our variety of interests. Francis also shares the HeatherAsh Benefit and upcoming gatherings and programs. A lot of deeply personal experiences are shared – and it would be interesting to you if you also had a significant Solstice experience. Over all – this is magical!

A Message from Francis Well, it can happen to anyone! After three trips to Mexico, and two full summers with thousands of people at Peacetown concerts every Wednesday evening (www.peacetown.org), frankly I am surprised to have contracted Covid! I think I got it on the planes back from Montana. Yes, it’s miserable, but I’m lucky not to have the most serious type. This Omicron variant is mainly upper respiratory, and I don’t really have the full range of terrible symptoms. But yes, it sucks, and it’s miserable. So, I’m rescheduling our Applying Shamanism community gathering that was going to happen this coming Monday August 15th at 4:00pm out one week, moving it to Monday August 22nd – and moving the Teotihuacan gathering that was scheduled for that day over to the next day, Tuesday August 23rd. This way, WE get together as a community to check in on how applying shamanic tools and resources is working in your life. Or not! Remember that our entire course is available to you for follow-up and revisiting specific classes that interest you, or revisiting subjects that you have questions about. It’s all here if you scroll below. And, even if things are working well for you, please review the series of videos and see if something jumps out at you! Thank you for your flexibility. At this point I don’t have a voice (I’m croaking and squeaking) nor the normal amount of energy that I usually bring to our gatherings. Thank you for understanding that we all need to respect and care for ourselves. Yes, radical self-care is important all of the time, but especially when something crazy happens like Covid! The zoom link to the Monday August 22 Applying Shamanism Community gathering at 4:00pm PDT is above – and I’ll send a separate invite for “Talking Teotihuacan.” WHICH will be a gathering of people who have experienced Teo, and have a lot to share about how Teo continues to be an active presence in their lives. And YOU are invited! If you haven’t been to Teo but are interested, join us! After all, Teotihuacan and the Source Teo Flower have been foundational in our practices together- so please do consider joining us for a step into the Mystery – with White Star, and with Ben Carlman joining. That’s on Tuesday August 23, also at 4:00pm PDT. Thank you! I send you love, and gratitude for being flexible, everything will be recorded for viewing at your convenience – but there’s nothing like being there live! Being “live” gives ME hope too!! I’m looking forward to seeing YOU! – Francis |

Preparing Living Ceremony for the Equinox Hello! First, let me say, “We’re all feeling it!. ”We’re all experiencing big vortexing waves of energy flowing through our lives, through our “civilization” and our planet. Flowing through us, and all of our fellow creatures – flowing through life itself, touching into the depths of the oceans and up to the highest mountain tops! And, then! Coming next week on Thursday September 22 at 6:03pm PDT, it’s the Equinox! This Equinox brings sparkling new harmonies and opportunities for each of us, if we align ourselves with this mysterious flow. Let’s get together this coming Tuesday, September 20th at 4:00pm PDT to share an awareness of how our skills, gifts, resourcefulness, and creativity can be profoundly supported and amplified by this magical incoming flow. In this meeting, we’ll share the gifts of this Equinox, as well as how to create a “living ceremony” on the Equinox, that that allows you, your family and friends, to access a direct connection with the flow of love, light and pure coherent energy that is essential to support our flowering! Two quick updates: 1. I’m in this flow just like you! My 3 month “Sourcery” program has disassembled as I’ve seen that at this moment in time and energies, a structured “advanced program” is much less responsive to where we’re all really at than what is being called for. And what is called for in this moment is for me to simply be available to you, to whatever extent is supportive, and helpful. Everything is moving into alignment with “direct connection” – including me! I’ll send you details for our next Applying Shamanism course starting with the December Solstice. It’s now very expanded, with multiple opportunities to go deeper into the range of practices taught along with me by a number of our people who found something fantastic that worked for them! For right now, I’ll send my private sessions schedule and availability, along with the financial side of that. 2. The “Sourcery” program was an extension of Teotihuacan’s “La Fuente de Flores” Mystery School. And yes, there really is an active emanating radiance and intelligence broadcasting live 24X7 from Teotihuacan! As I stepped out of my ideas, and tuned into the intelligence and guidance of direct connection with Source, I realized how really uniquely special it is for us to have an opportunity to journey to Teotihuacan this November. And, this invitation is open to you. Feel into this. OK? See what your dreams reveal. Listen to what your heart has to say. Let’s see if this journey is a possibility for you. Send me a note at francis@shamanzone.com, we can talk about it. And, join us on Monday, October 3 at 4:00pm PDT for a Teo experience and sharing. More on this Teo gathering soon. Much love! – Francis |
