12 Jaguars: Shamanic 12 Step Group
First Monday of every month
June 9th 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm CT/8:00pm – 9:00pm ET
Online Zoom*
Dearest Ones, Hello! And welcome to 12 jaguars! This is 12 step group- informed by Andean Cosmology – for those who suffer from addiction, those who might be curious about implementing deeper change in their lives, or families of one who suffers from a compulsive illness. While we recognize all spiritual paths as having great merit, this group blends the codified spiritual wisdom discovered in 1938 by the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous, with the ancient wisdom passed down through our Pachakuti Mesa Tradition blended lineage of the paqokuna, and kamasqa curanderismo folk medicine.
We are here – children of the sun and moon, as earth honoring practitioners looking to deepen our spiritual practices, to overcome challenges and the deadly dis-ease of addiction. We are not affiliated with AA, NA, or any other formal entity. Rather, we are earth beings, free agents, gathered to seek out our highest selves and our soul divination in the midst of our very real troubles.
Format:
- Seven-count wave breath pattern
- Opening prayer:
“Oh, great Creator, we are of a tribe of collective consciousness, bound and in service to one another, our planet and all its celestial beings. We call on the forces of the principal directions, their allies, and all the wisdom of the ascended ancestors as we enter in council, for unification with ourselves, our families, and our Pachamama as a whole” - Shared reading:
“There is a direct linkage among self-examination, mediation and prayer. Taken separately, these practices can bring much relief and benefit. But when they are logically related and interwoven, the result is an unshakeable foundation for life” -Bill W, 1955 - 5-10min presentation from Jeff or selected guest speaker: a topic on 5 to 10 minutes in length on a reading*, personal experience, as relates to a step or principle used to help overcome addiction.
- Participant sharing
- Closing: “We want to remind you, what you see here, what you hear here, stays here”
- Serenity prayer:
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time, and
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
