Tonalli Craft : Tending the Soul© is a five-part on-line course offered once a year over a one year period. With twenty-five years of healing experience with Tonalli Craft© Deanna has experienced and tested the unique ancient medicine that imparts healing of the soul's matrix. Wholeness can be achieved when the soul is fully intact.
Trauma of any kind can endanger the vibrational tone of our tonalli/soul. Tonalli Craft© is a pathway to restore our natural frequency, to enliven one's emotions, mind, body and spirit. One's vibrancy will awaken from the amnesiac state (forgetting of who we are, the soul's code) that trauma produces with Tonalli Craft© medicine.
Wholeness through Tonalli Craft© practice helps us each become a more
genuine version of our orginal self. Having something to give to ourselves
and to others connects us to a meaningful path, a deep path that cannot
be destroyed by the distructiveness of our times.
At our deepest level of being humans on earth, we connect to the world soul.
In our wholeness path of soul tending we can be effective during these times of turmoil in the world.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This is a rare opportunity to learn ancient healing ways of perceiving the soul as a blueprint to one's life. The course is designed for you to learn to tend to your own soul (Levels One and Two) and as an initiated Tonalli Craft : Tending the Soul© Healing Practitioner (Levels One through Four), you will be certified to tend to the souls of others. This work greatly enhances any healing modality and practice.
A Consciousness Raising Experience Awaits
The modern western view of soul is limited. The Tonalli, an ancient ancestral view of soul, is vast and expansive. As a healer, patients benefit by opening and becoming more receptive to the healing gifts you already bring. As a layperson, this is an opportunity to know thyself at the deepest level of your being.
In this course you will have experiental and interactive learning, talks, lessons and practicum. Reading material will be suggested for all levels and required in Levels 3 and 4.
FUNERARY RITES: Tonalli Craft© is a precursor course to learning and prepartion for engaging in the specialty work of facilitating Funerary Rites. To have an understanding and skill level of the Tonalli Craft© enhances your gift to work with the soul of the deceased.
If you are interested in being a Funerary Rites Facilitator, the Tonalli Craft© course is a must. Funerary Rites require additional study and initiation in order to do the work of a psychopomp. Please contact Deanna for more information on this offering. For more information on Funerary Rites, click here to read this paper.
* I use the words tonalli and soul interchangably although Tonalli carries a more comprehensive view than what many of us learned about soul in our religious upbringing. In my craft, they are interchangeable. For the purpose of this course, I am calling it by its Nahua name to connotate the broader life force informer that it truly is. I have been trained in the Nahua tradition.
"The soul's aim has always been to practice becoming who we
already are at the core of ourselves." Michael Meade
