Dos Margaritas Workshop

"Healing the sacred feminine in the arms of the Mother"

Luzclara is an internationally renowned Spiritual healer, medicine woman and Shamanness, who dedicates her life to heal herself, Mother Earth, and all her beings. Her apprenticeship took her along the Americas where she has been trained by Shamans from a vast array of ancient cultures like the Mapuches of southern Chile, the last Inka Shamans of Peru, Quichua Shamans from the Amazon in Ecuador and in Tibet and India where she mastered their Sacred Sound healing techniques. For the past twenty years she has been awakening the sacred feminine energies of the planet with ancient rituals and magic. Luzclara invites you to join her for a six day spiritual healing workshop called ‘Healing the sacred feminine in the arms of the Mother’. This workshop is designed for a small group of women and it is appropriate for both women who have done other spiritual journeys and those for whom this is a first.

Protected by the Andes, your experience is nestled beneath glaciers and condors, surrounded by ancient forests and the wild Futaleufu river. In these sacred space Luzclara will lead us in ancient shamanic rituals, helping us to leave behind the parts of ourselves that no longer serve us and to embrace those gifts yet to be discovered.

Lodging is eco-sound, confortable and rustic. Meals will be prepared on site and you will be invited to pick your own veggies and fruits from the Eco-center’s organic farm.

From “Meetings with remarkable people”
“... Luzclara stood before me as she had the others. Her loving nature was palpable; her eyes penetrate, in her right hand she held a condor feather. She gently tapped my head with it; I felt so peaceful, but I had made up my mind that I was not going to “play along”. After all, I said to myself with certain arrogance, “I’m a psychologist and certified hypnotherapist”. I did not intend to submit to anyone... but I felt so peaceful. I counted myself as a means of not letting Luzclara’s actions capture my focus. I remember getting to 7...just as the others before me , I lay on the floor; “My god, she did it!”, convinced of the Machi’s skills as a shaman, and feeling the lovingness of her presence, at last I permitted my self to relax into the situation to fully receive what would come my way...”
