Sacred Journey to the Island of Crystal
A
14 Days
Pilgrimage to Keltic & Cathares Powerplaces in
South-France,
with Dr. B. Raven Lee & Dr. William R. Leon
" Welcome
to Caer Sidi... ! "
Drawing on
both Celtic and Tibetan Shamanic Healing
practices, as well as modern Quantum
Psycho~Energotherapy, Dr. B. Raven Lee and
Dr. William R. Leon invite you to discover Caer Sidi, the sacred Keltic &
Templars Mandala in the Verdon area and its mirror
sites in the Cathares Aude regions. The next
pilgrimage will be organized in the South-of-France,
within a choice between the five major Options, listed
hereunder...
Caer
Sidi is a unique experiential program which
includes introduction to both Tibetan Tsa-rLung and Celtic Shamanic
Healing in
selected powerplaces and allows participants to find
their own Keys to
Transmutation, Rejuvenation and (Self~) Healing, through
the Body of Light practices...
The
Caer Sidi Itinerary is intended to re-awaken and develop a
synthesis of our latent roots shamanic
abilities. We will learn how to intentionally shift our state of consciousness,
link with Protectors and Holy Spirits, as well as how to get more awareness of
subtle non-ordinary reality, while opening and cleansing our Higher
Chakras.
We
will establish connections with Mary Magdalene, as well as
with other selected Keltic and Tibetan Sacred Helpers, Who will
facilitate personal and communal health and healing. The programme
will also be an opportunity to gather further knowledge in Central-Asian Common Ancestral Roots of Keltic and Tibetan Shamanic
Healing practices.
Dr. B. Raven Lee,
Dr. William R.
Leon and other experienced intervenors will guide the target-sites meditation and healing rituals.
Participants will concentrate on
the compassion emanated from fully enlightened protectors and principal emanations in the Verdon Sacred Mandala and the Cathares
Lore retreats.
The stream of transmission of the Compassionate
Healing energies will bring
the Third Eye (Ajna Chakra) and Compassion
(Heart Chakra) in resonance with
the Spiritual
Heritage of the target-sites visited.
This will
lead to Initiations
taking
the form of "Spontaneous Arising
Light" (Tigle), Visions or other subtle
transmissions inherited from
the lineages,
protectors and guardians of these sacred sites.
Experiential
spontaneous transmissions of teaching and revelations from Masters, Angels or
Fairies, have always been a foundational
aspect of spiritual awakening in both the Tibetan Body of Light (Tsa-rLung)
lineages and related Arts of Divination, Rejuvenation and Healing in the Grail Quest.
Through the
embodiment of the Keltic and Vajrayana Body of Light practices, we will pursue
the Never-Ending Human Grail Quest of Spiritual Development.
Escalibur
"Caer Sidi, The Island of Crystal "
Caer Sidi, The Fortress of the Fairies
is mentioned in the Book of Taliesin (Lewis Spence).
That Caer Sidi (Camelot) was the Seat of rituals and initiations for Healing and
Divination of an extraordinary vitality and importance to
the Celtic psyche is no new thesis . But that it can be
re-awakened today, simply through a comparative
experiential study of Grail
Lore and Himalayan Tantric Shamanism
is a testimony we want here to share with
you.
One of the Island of Crystal, or Caer Sidi, is the Celtic, Cathares, and Knights Templar sacred
archaeological Mandala situated at the entry of the Gorges du
Verdon, some 150 km northwest of Nice, South-of-France.
It was
the seat of rituals and initiations for healing and divination
practices, which originated from the Black Sea (Wisigoths and
Scythes Central Europe) and the Asian Steppes (Kelts and
Huns), and continued into early Celtic-Roman times and later
Holy Grail Mary Magdalene Lore.
The
word Sidhe
(also spelled Sidi, Sidh, Sid, Sith ...)
may be regarded as the standard term
for "fairy"
in the Gaelic tongue of Scotland , Wales and Ireland. While
some reliable authorities further stress that Sithide
or Sithde is the genitive of Sithd, a female
fairy, Gaelic records Sidhe as also implying "hill"
or "mound". Mounds and hills often are both graves and
abodes of the elves.

Caer Sidi : " the Itinerary... "
Caer Sidi
will be of a
14 days duration, on the traces of the Healing
tradition of Mary Magdalene,
Wolfram Von Eschenbach Grail Lore and Tibetan Vajrayana in
the sacred sites
of the Verdon
and Pyrennees, including pilgrimages to Montsegur, Puivert,
Alet, Limoux, St Maximum, Ste Beaume,
St Victor, Ste Marie and other Sacred Black Madonna altars.
At the introduction level (First Tryptic), we will
visit and scan together the Verdon Mandala target-sites
and will focus upon the historical heritage for the envisioned
synthesis of the Tsa-rLung, Yogas and Keltic Archetypal Healing practices.
It will include numerous references
to the Grail and Keltic Christendom Lore Mythology giving Keys
for the practices (Wolfram Von Eschenbach) in relation with the
current Tibetan Tsa-rLung Five Elements
(Body of Light) teachings from Khyentse Rimpoche, Dudjom Rimpoche, Tarab
Tulku Rimpoche, Tenzin Namdak, Namkhai Norbu, Tenzin Wangyal Rimpoche
and John M. Reynolds, amongst others, this always
bearing in mind the
hermeneutics needed for a synthesis of
Roots Shamanic Healing practices.
We will drive in
mini-bus and then trek to several megalithic artefacts,
ruins, fortress, altars or chapels, following the ancient
pilgrimage traces for a renewed Grail
Quest.
