Timeless Tuesdays

We are honoured to invite our soul brothers and sisters from many lands to come cosmically and physically to our weekly shamanic journey in support to the Terra Mirim Foundation. This week we will focus on the healing centres in our bodies and the water element connecting to Spirals of higher frequencies through the vibration of the shamanic drum (Mila Ribeiro), didgeridoo (Alex Akal) and energy healing (Fatima Soares). We will sing together Alba's Water Icaro to magnetise this sacred element and celebrate its blessings!

The shamanic group dynamics will be inspired in the moment according to the intuition of the facilitators and the unique atmosphere created by each group in the here and now.




Come closer, come together, come as One!

A few words:

Reflecting upon this journey is a time that requires me (Shaman Alba Maria) to feel a group which I would like to journey with me and together dive in the fields of the Mother. As I believe and live inside the spirit of community, where the doing together makes it possible to enable more fairly the participation of those who are truly willing to deepen themselves inwardly. On most days through the journey we will experience this communal actions, cooking our food and cleaning the spaces and places which will shelter us as well as washing our own personal clothing.

More info on Shaman Alba Maria and the Terra Mirim Foundation / Shamanic Community can be found further down on this blog. The proceeds from this journey will be directed to support the foundation's projects, surrounding villages, its own ecological school which educates over 200 impoverished kids as well as helping them to be more self-sustainable so it may keep shining its rays of consciousness onto our Planet.

To each seed, a song.


Here's a sample from the ShamAM's blog: " I feel that I spread human seeds of beatitude in the world, these are seeds blessed by the winds of happiness, peace, prosperity and wellness. Seeds that I see blossoming because they come to me with the burning desire to learn how to walk on the paths of my mother, the Goddess, the Illuminated Consciousness that discerns which lines I have to tattoo in this life. We had two beautiful circles of sharing in magical England, where everyone could surrender, ask questions, dance and sing. What a wonder and joy! Passed these circles, we had our shamanic  journey in the countryside where Shaman Dhan Ribeiro shared his wisdom gathered through these numerous years of diving into Shamanism and so offer to the group his guidance of the sacred shamanic healing ceremony."

Shaman Dhan Ribeiro in his continuous claim for a grounded consciousness where as in a divine alchemy he says the deeper our roots grow into the Earth, the higher we can touch the skies...with his sacred songs (icaros) which are inspired by the frequency of the ritual in that unique moment which he is open to be tirelessly throughout the night a bridge of healing and teachings, he echoes his singing prayers to the fields beyond walls and limitations. As Shamam Alba Maria says each of us is given a song at birth, which in sacred rituals we vibrate these sounds, so to each group there is a unique icaro as to each seed, a song. And so it is!

Blessed by the colours of gratitude

 
Here I am, after over a month of intense works and journeys travelling alongside the Shamans across countries seeing them sowing seeds of consciousness, touching the hearts of so many through their wisdom and tenderly showing as in a verse of a poem with the sound of their drums that the Master, is the Mother Goddess! Gratitude to all beings who came, supported and were part of the birth of shamanic journeys with Shamans Alba Maria & Dhan Ribeiro in the UK. This short trailer is an expression of our profound gratitude to you! and the journey continues, next stop: The Black Forest..
 
 

 
Thank you to our friends who captured these shots and allowed us to freely publish them. A special thanks to our shamanic sister Akasha for very kindly opening the familia's doors so we could together beat in the same rhythm as the Great Spirit.
 

         Thank You!

inspired by Shaman Alba Maria

Here's an insight from the Shaman's blog; "You, who is on the other side, reading me in this moment, I wish you well. May the deepest peace immerse in you. May your eyes be cleared to see all the beauty available. May your ears hear the sound of the Goddess. May your nose smell the fragrance of life. May your mouth taste the flavours of love. May your hands dance on the feet of an eucalyptus tree being blown in the wind. My heart feels your love and whoever you are, there is a little space in me that is only yours. Remember whenever you need, that this Shaman even without knowing you personally is always with you. Always. "  Shaman Alba Maria's Blog 

Prayer to the Great Mother


Our mother who is in the sky, the earth, and everywhere,
Blessed is your beauty and your abundance,
Bring to our hearts the key which opens the portal of Love,
May each one of us respect every being's path and
The exercise of forgiveness become part of our existence,
May we welcome at our table those
Whom want to share with us the sacred food,

Our mother who is in the sky, the earth, and everywhere,
May the greater Purpose guide our steps,
And the beat of our hearts unite with the heartbeat of the Earth,
So we may pulsate as a single rhythm,
May the stars guide us through the dark nights,
And the sun shine brightly on our bodies,

Hey Great Spirit,
Hey Great Mother,
Hey Shaman!

Shaman Alba Maria


Alba Maria is a Shaman, spiritual teacher, psychologist, an author and the first visionary of the Terra Mirim Foundation, a well recognised and long running intentional community in Brazil, where she has been continually working and living for the last 21 years. Alba Maria has been guiding people for over 30 years in several parts of the world through journeys of self-discovery whilst passing down the teachings learnt from her Indian grandmother and ancestors.
 
Shaman Alba Maria walks on the path that the Mother Goddess guides her. Free from rigid thoughts, she tries to see life with eyes emptied from already existent concepts. The Mother Goddess is her guide, her greater Love. Through the night she walks in Terra Mirim's little piece of Atlantic Forest, in the afternoon wanders across the surrounding vulnerable villages in the Valley of Itamboata, visiting people, listening to the women claiming for a more dignified life, and their citizen rights. At night observing the trees, she offers them her days and prayers.

She shares with others her own internal transformation, and serves all those who are ready to dive into the depths of their inner nature and look at themselves without fear,  showing how each and everyone of us can encounter his/her real self - the divine beauty and love, that inhabits us all.
 
Alba Maria is dedicated to serve the Highest Will, living her life with love for nature, the Divine Mother. Her daily life is lived very intensively with the community as a form of "continuous inner awakening in practise".

 



 

Terra Mirim

 
Terra Mirim Foundation & Shamanic Community is a 23-year-old, intentional movement. Located in the Metropolitan Region of Salvador, the capital of Bahia, in the north-eastern part of Brazil. Terra Mirim as an ever-evolving communitarian movement works to transform the reality of the territory where it is located, thus also being a place of planetary healing in action. It is based upon the ancient Shamanic tradition of the people of the Earth, and through its experience has developed a methodology known as Integrative Ecology, in which a conscious unity between humanity and the planet is recognised as a fundamental principle to be lived for a healthy humanity and planet. In Integrative Ecology people learn to re-integrate nature inside and outside through deep contact and relation with the four sacred elements (earth, water, fire, air) to the four dimensions of being: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. In fact, according to the Tradition of the Great Mother the healing of the planet is interdependent with the healing of the human being. The work in the external territory starts with the work over oneself and, beyond theory, Terra Mirim’s socio-environmental methodology brings value to action and to the ever growing learning spiral which comes as a result of being its own actions.

Over the last two decades, Terra Mirim has developed a diverse range of social and environmental services and programs (see example below) aimed to stimulate human emancipation, care for the Earth whilst empowering the people from the surrounding Valley as well as, before all, remaining a Shamanic Centre of Light and School for numerous seekers who tirelessly arrive from several lands across the world, searching for a meaningful and
conscious possible way of living and honouring our Mother Earth, learning with the guidance of ShamAM Alba Maria to dive deeply into ourselves, dreams, shadows and highest purpose. In Terra Mirim everyday a precious lesson is offered to be learned and honoured - where an invisible thread is weaved from the stars to our innermost sacred core.
