Although these programs are organized for
academic students and researchers, they may benefit also to non-professionals
interested in Shamanism and/or Traditional Health practices. Indeed, each
tour is constructed on your personal approach and interest, first.
On basis of our Social/Health Services Network in Kathmandu, we are in
position to offer specialized educational experiences for those with
interests such as: Himalayan Traditional medicines (Ayurvedic,
Tibetan or Djankris), Drug (Ab)use Rehabilitation and Prevention,
Child Workers and Street Children Social Rehabilitation, Transcultural
and Holistic Counselling approaches to Drug Abuse Rehabilitation,
Tibetan Buddhist meditation, Clinical Pharmacology , etc ...
Why Nepal ? Because Nepal is a case study for development
aid issues and traditional health practices, and because there, Shamans
and Traditions are still alive and well.
Why Celtic, Templars and Cathars Powerplaces ? Because using the Common Archetypal Roots of
Rituals of Shamans and/or Tibetan Medecine Healing practices learned
in Nepal, will bring to our Quest of the Grail and Celtic Lore, not
only inspiration, visions, Bards music and wine, but will also give to
the Tours participant the embodiment of the Medieval athmosphere of
the Ancient Prilgrimages to these Powerplaces, where Mary Magdalene and
Joseph of Arimathea gave birth to the Arturian Quest, thus leading us back
to rituals of a time when Celtic Shamanism Fairies and Protectors
were part of our ancestors beliefs, which we may be brought alive again
today.
Introduction to Shamanic Healing Practices Participants to Nepal Shamans Tours & Study
will be introduced to the local Shamans (Jhankris, Dhamis, Naris, Amchis)
methods for diagnosis and healing ,including participant observation, presentationof
concepts and involvement in rituals.

Traditional medicine is a very important part of Himalayan health care systems. For most of the rural population in Nepal and in the Himalayan range, traditional faith healers are the only health care service easily accessible. If rural health care in Nepal is to be improved, this starts with the assessment that the villagers and urban areas workers alike still have a deep faith in their traditional healers, be they Djankris, Dhamis of the herbal Ayurvedic system , or Amchis and Lamas of the Tibetans medical paradigm. In both systems, herbal cures and rituals are necessary and complementary constituents of a healing diagnostic and curative process closely link to spirituality. Deeply rooted in local people beliefs and practices , Tibetan Amchis , Dhamis and Djankris Shamanic rituals are not going to be shaken by rare modern health care resources, the occasional visits of medical teams, or distant clinics and hospitals. Keltic Trilogy / CAIRN is accutely aware of the
failure of conventional imported development health / social policies in
Nepal. While seeking to approach the genuine social/health needs of
poor people , including those of High- Risks (HRB) Groups (ie: migrants,
refugees, drug- users, HIV-, STDs, TBs) in the Bouddhanath Stupa
strategic site, it has developed a unique integrated Network
approach, aiming to promote practical answers to a growing social
and ecological crisis, including more public awareness on the deplorable
conditions of some ethnic minorities and migrant child workers, as
well as a growing ethnic-castes socio-economic cleavage and a deterioration
of local NGOs institutional credibility.

Advanced Tibetan Medecine Workshop ( click title above for proposed Itinerary and Programme)

, which origins lie in the finest elements of the Ayurvedic Herbal, classical
Chinese, ancient Greek and Tibetan Buddhism and Tantra traditions
.
Advanced Shamans Healing & Divination Workshop ( click title above for proposed Itinerary and Programme)
Participants will be introduced into the paradigm and methods of healing and divination, including visualization, multi-/intra-sensory perceptions, indigenous technics for ASC induced trance, energy healing process for cleansing and/or energitizing localised spiritual, psychological or physical pains or illnesses, as being perceived in the Shamanic (Djankris, Dhamis) or Tibetan Traditional Health (Amchis) paradigms. They will also be briefed on the different options for awakening their own potentials, this through conceptual connection with Tibetan and/or Himalayan archetypes and a personal experiential resonance (EMBODIMENT) the Celtic / Arthurian Quest archetypes may provoke, both resources viewed as compatible. The Healing and Divination Workshops are designed for participants having basic skills and knowledge in intervention fields in Holitic (Transpersonal) psychology, community or public health, Shamans traditional healing or meditation technics, as well as counselling services. The training is not designed as a replacement for the necessary academic and experiential curriculum required, but is rather viewed as a fieldstudy option offered to concerned researchers or scholars. A supervision contract with the concerned faculty is a prerequisite. For more details on the Keltic Trilogy /Cairn
