Language of Spirits – Stories of Healing (The Direct Experience of Shamanism)

As a child, Theodore’s relationship with the spirit world was natural and effortless. As he became an adult, he began to realize that this ease of relating was alien to most people. In fact, there appeared a total disconnect, not only to the spirit world but also to the mundane world around them. To Theodore, this was a great tragedy. As he questioned what prevents others from seeing both worlds, he saw that it was our conditioning, our wounds, and our brokenness and yet within this suffering was an innate longing for connection to spirit and healing. He realized that others could awaken to see both worlds too, for in reality the energy of one world is really no different then the energy of the other. We are all connected within one world of subtle and gross energies.

The longing for healing not only happens in the relative world, but it also exists in the spirit world. In Theodore’s experience, he finds that we bring our state of mind, our blindness, to both worlds whether we still have a physical body or a finer ethereal form. What do these two worlds look like? How do we begin to see, and how do we live in these two worlds? How do we heal the illness of the mind in spirit and in matter? Join us this evening as Theodore explores these questions.

Theodore Tsaousidis has been practicing meditation and psycho-spiritual healing modalities for the past thirty years. Born in a rural community in Greece and immersed in a tradition of village healers, he was always innately connected with nature and the spirit world. Consequently, he has been conscious of his spiritual journey from an early age. Over the years, Theodore has deepened this ancient connection. He has studied healing and shamanic teachings in diverse traditions including the Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhist tradition. Since 1983, he has been a formal student of Zen Buddhism. He sees meditation and shamanism together as a great alchemy for the healing of self and others. Theodore is blessed to be guided by his teachers, Sensei Sunyana Graef, his foundational and meditation teacher and Zasep Tulku Rinpoche, who guides him in Tibetan healing teachings. Theodore is also the steward of Snow Lion: The Meditation Shop
