These classes explore the foundational practice of recapitulation from Taisha Abelar’s The Sorcerer’s Crossing. For nine weeks, we will engage in reading, discussing, and practicing the exercises presented in the book, as well as recapitulating using the sweeping breath. 

Recapitulation is a guided process to recall your presence, focus, and energy invested in past relationships, roles, and events. This reclaiming of vitality clears the ground for the two great paths of shamanic training: dreaming—the art of shifting awareness in the dream state, and stalking—the art of daily living with impeccability and integrity. Recapitulation serves as a bridge between them, organizing your thinking and feelings to reach a new understanding. You can choose to experience empathy and gratitude for the challenging situations you’ve lived through, and gain a deeper understanding of who you are and what you want.

Each class presents a new theme and combines practical instruction, sorcery passes, breathwork, and stalking exercises to steady attention and dismantle repetitive patterns. As the internal inventory reorganizes itself, you become more flexible and accepting, more open to giving and receiving, to loving and being loved. Allow your vitality to return, your sensitivity to awaken, so that you live the best version of yourself.
