Gardens of Atlantis-Summer Mentorship Class

Eighteen participants from three classes recently completed the Level 1 mentorship class in the Munay-Ki Rites.  Each member received all nine rites, and learned practices for growing and integrating these sacred rites.  The mentorship also included sharing of mystery teachings, personal energy clearings, shamanic journeying, guided meditations, ritual and fire ceremonies. The The Rites Mentorship Class was developed and led by Debra Rainbow Heart, and took place at the Spiritual Renaissance Center in South Portland, Maine and Gardens of Atlantis in Dayton, ME.  In addition to the mentorships, 15 individuals from two “Grandmothers Circles”  have been receiving the nine rites over the summer and fall.

The Great Rites of Englightenment are seeds of light setting us on the path to wisdom, grace and stewardship – not only of our own lives, but of our planet and the creation itself.  Beautiful and powerful shifts were experienced beginning with the Healer’s rite and continued throughout the program.

New Level 1 Mentorship Classes, Level II of the Engaging the Energies of the Munay-Ke Rites, and Level III – Gifting the Rites to Others, and Monthly Munay-Ki Circles will be offered beginning in January, 2010.  Please check back at this web site for details!

(If you cannot attend but wish to have your prayers added to the despacho prayer bundle, send payment of $10 along with names and/or specific prayers and requests…i.e.  healing, abundance, peace, etc. and these will be included in the despacho bundle/fire ceremony and you/your loved one, will be energetically connected to this powerful healing ceremony!)    

FMI Call Debra (207) 929-6776

**Note:  Please bring warm clothes, including warm footwear, hat and gloves for being outside for the fire ceremony!**

The Solstices and Equinoxes are a powerful time for re-aligning ourselves with creation,  our purpose, our passion and our intentions on this earth walk.  The Despacho is the central healing ceremony of the Andean shamanic path.  We will be conducing an “Ayni Despacho” creating/restoring/maintaining “ayni” or balance/harmony/reciprocity with Pachamama (Mother Earth), the “Apus” or sacred mountains, and the heavens above, as well as within our being…and with our larger community.  We will create a love offering filled with our prayers blown into “kintus” as we create a beautiful mandala filled with flowers, sweets, seeds, and symbols of our prayers.

Creating the Despacho

After the despacho is created, each participant will be cleansed with this sacred bundle before it is offered to Spirit in a fire ceremony…where our prayers are “dispatched” to Spirit.  Shamans and indigineous elders believe these ceremonies are needed to maintain and/or restore order, harmony, abundance and blessings from the earth and Creator.  Such a ceremony is an expression of gratitude, love and respect for all we receive from nature and Spirit and maintains “ayni” balance.  As we offer Spirit our prayers and offerings, we seed the manifestation of the prayers we offer to the fire.  I hope you will join me for the powerful night of ceremony and celebration!!

As we step into the energies of the year 2010, what do we want to manifest?  What is our intent for this year?  What seeds are we planting for the Earth, humanity, our community, ourselves?  We will co-create a ceremony to plant the seeds of our personal and collective future, working with the energies of the full moon and a powerful Mayan Intention Crystal.  Our ceremony will include group and individual energy clearings, journeying for our highest intentions/soul’s purpose, activation of the Mayan Intention Crystal Energies and fire ceremony.  I look forward to sharing this circle of powerful intention and empowerment with you!

Spirit Orbs

I am very pleased to share some photos of spirit orbs taken at the end of a recent Munay-Ki Mentorship fire ceremony.  These images were taken with an small digital camera on automatic setting at dusk/night following our sacred work at the fire.  The pictures speak for themselves….I enlarged some of the orbs for better viewing, and lightened the exposure on some photos for greater clarity….otherwise, these photos are untouched in any way.  With Deep Munay Blessings,    Debra

A restful place in the garden

RiverRest is home to Rainbow Heart Healing Arts.  The photos on this page will change as events and seasons unfold.  It has been a long held prayer to offer a place for peace, healing, and community.  While I enjoy presenting and facilitating workshops and mentorships and offering sessions at other centers and locations, it is important for me to share a place that reflects my creative energies and spirit.  Although RiverRest is a small in size, it is big in charm, energy and character.  I offer some photos that illustrate some of its many dimensions.  Enjoy!  Blessings,

Debra Rainbow Heart

The gardens offer their beauty, grace and tranquility

Room With a View - Rainbow Heart Healing Arts, Buxton, ME

“I recreated the space to reflect my love of the southwest, and to be a sanctuary for peace and healing.  The walls are painted in soft washes to create the warmth and rustic feeling of adobe.  The green and rose accents create a soothing, welcoming space. ”  The light filled room overlooks the Saco River, and is accented with Debra’s original art work as well Southwestern art. 

A peaceful waiting area and gallery

The ajoining waiting area also features some of Debra’s  art and southwest decorative pieces along with a bookcase filled with books on the healing arts, Native American and shamanic healing themes.  Just outside this hidden retreat and entrance at the rear of the house, is a sweet cottage flower and herb garden complete with a wicker chair for relaxing before or after a healing session.  The garden features a healing medicine circle of crytstals, amethyst clusters and herbs, along with an Inka Sun Staff blessed by the Q’ero elders in ceremony in the high Andes of Peru.  Standing in this energy vortex is a powerful experience! 

An Angelic Presence

A short stroll leads you down to the banks of the river, or to a natural log seat for enjoying a shady retreat and the reflections of light on the water.  “Our back yard and river frontage has numerous visitors including bald eagles, osprey, great blue herons, wood ducks, river otters, beaver, red fox, red tail and marsh hawks, crows and ravens, piliated woodpeckers, woodchuck, chipmunks, racoons, indigo bunting, cardinals, cedar wax wings and hummingbirds to name some of our favorites!  We are located a short walk or drive from several nature preserve areas, which serve as the extended outdoor classroom for some of the workshops and classes I offer.  These magical retreating places expand opportunities to connect with nature and ourselves on a deeper level.

  Awaken Your Heart and Activate Your Light Body – With the Nine Sacred Rites of Empowerment and Transformation

Munay-Ki comes from a Quechua word meaning “I love you” or “Be as Thou Art”.   The Munay-Ki Rites and mentorship launch a deep and accelerated transformational process of personal and spiritual healing and empowerment.  This program offers you concrete processes, ceremonies and resources to support your cultivation and integration of the nine “great rites”. (Please see brief description of each rite on the attached sheet.) The mentorship will include history and evolution of these sacred rites recently gifted by the Q’ero shamans from the high Andes of Peru; practices for cultivating and “growing” the rites to support the development of your “rainbow body” and to deeply anchor your connections to the six lineage rites you will receive.  You will learn powerful ways to engage your healing process on the energetic level so you have minimal engagement on the literal level as issues surface to be cleared.  You will plant the seeds for your own becoming….and take your place around the fire as a lineage keeper.  You will be stepping into the mystery teachings which cannot be “taught”, but which come to you through direct personal experience.  You will have opportunity to connect with Pachamama, Mother Earth, letting her nurture, support and inform you.  Woven into our experiences will be ritual, fire ceremony, working with the center’s medicine wheel, drumming, movement, guided meditations, journaling and B-E-I-N-G.  Time will be also be available before and after the mentorship class times to rest, renew  and commune in nature amidst the flowers, fields, forest and waters that are home to Gardens of Atlantis.

 Debra Rainbow Heart is a Full Mesa Carrier in the Peruvian wisdom keeper traditions, a shamanic practitioner and Munay-Ki Mentor and Steward.  She received the first eight Munay-Ki Rites over a three year period while doing her personal medicine wheel healing work and shamanic training with Alberto Villoldo, Ph.D. and the Four Winds Society.  She received the ninth rite, and learned how to transmit all the Munay-Ki Rites during a “life changing” week of Munay-Ki rites and ceremony with the Q’ero elders

 Debra has been engaged in the healing arts for nearly 25 years as a student, teacher, polarity therapy, bodywork and energy medicine practitioner; facilitator, mentor, artist, musician and ceremonialist.    She has completed eight week-long shamanic intensives with The Four Winds Society, has studied core shamanism with faculty from the Foundation for Shamanic Studies and completed the Polarity Realization Institute’s 650 hour Polarity Therapy program in 1998. Debra has been blessed to study with and/or co-create ceremony with numerous multi-cultural and indigenous elders from the United States, India, Mexico, Peru, Mongolia, Tibet and Africa.  It is her deep honor to share and mentor your journey through the nine great Munay-Ki rites.

Q'ero elders in ceremony - Andes region of Peru

 ”It is the deep prayer of the Q’ero elders that we come forward to receive the nine great rites.  Living at 14,000 feet in the high Andes of Peru, these medicine men and women have been the keepers of the prophecies and sacred rites for the past 500 years.  They are descendants of the Inca “People of Light”, and the Laika whose medicine traditions are deeply rooted in the ancient lineages of healers and wisdom keepers.  The emergence of the rites and associated teachings coincides with the 26,000 year cycle which ends in December, 2012  and is said to mark the beginning of a new era of “enlightenment” on the planet.  The rites deeply support our personal and planetary journey through this time of deep transformational shifts.  I look forward to sharing the journey with you.

  In Munay,   

Debra Rainbow Heart
