Memoirs of an Empowerment Intensive
I have just finished having one of the--no--THE most powerfully transformative and inspiring experience of my life, the Empowerment Intensive with David Quigley.
This weekend took my previous experience with the Alchemical process and combined it with deeper feelings, memories and inner resource states, down to the cells of my body. This led to a greater release than I'd previously been able to reach and now I feel a greater empowerment to live my life on earth to the fullest.
Yet, I must admit that I arrived skeptical of David's claims. Even once the class had begun, I was still skeptical of the techniques, which seemed to me extreme uses of psychodrama and group dynamics including the beating of drums and the shaking of rattles. The world of shamanic practices was very new for me, but luckily a description of the psychological effects of drums and rattles in Michael Harner's The Way of the Shaman, which I'd read recently, enrolled my rational mind favorably in what otherwise might have seemed a very bizarre ritual.
Then my turn came. With the drums and rattles keeping me in the primitive "feeling" brain, and other members of the group acting out priests and nuns, several of us who had been raised in Catholic schools joined in an army against religious shaming,

I was able to powerfully reclaim my body from the sexual shaming that had stolen it from me and cast shadows of darkness upon its feelings, desires and impulses.
Afterwards my rational mind still reeled from the methods, but the new feeling of power in my body was unmistakable - something had shifted greatly!
By the third day of the seminar I was fully enrolled in the process. I dealt with my "belt issues" that day. We found that many of us there had been beaten by our fathers. Before all was said and done, every corner of the room was filled with people processing their own anger! When I finished my releasing, I went and encouraged the others.

We each found within us our "Inner Warrior" to help us reclaim our body from the past abuse.
This was a resource, not just in mind, but entering into every cell, muscle, and bone of our physical being; a more thorough union with the power within. We were also able to commune with the forces of love and nurturing as we held and cared for each other, opening our bodies and hearts to receive joy and love from our inner families and our emerging outer family of the group, bringing it into every cell, allowing our bodies to move with a new freedom and expressiveness.
Alchemy is an evolving process; Empowerment is the next step in its evolution. What I received that weekend was the empowerment to be happy, empowerment to know, with every cell of my physical being, that: "No less than the trees and the stars, we have a right to be here."
