THE BASICS OF HUMANING WELL

Together, Energy Body Mastery, Energy Body Clearing, and The Basic Journey are the Basics of Humaning Well.  They are the baseline skills we need now to be better humans…

  • to connect with the Earth as ancestor and source of life
  • to connect in diverse communities that are our only way to navigate life toward new futures
  • to create a future with our actions today that is liberated of assumed privilege and entitlement and rooted in joy and kinship with all life.

This small cluster of online courses will fundamentally change how you show up in the world. Participants emerge embodied, agency-engaged, and able to connect with the chaos and order of life in ways that can create a different future.

All Last Mask Center online programs include:

 

  • Lifetime access: All courses are available to retake for free whenever they run live.
  • Course material remains available online for students after the course ends until the course is offered again in the next year.
  • Online discussion: Closed community groups are open to all students, year-round.
  • Energy Exchange is offered for each course: contribute to, or apply to receive, funding to allow accessibility for all students.

IN-PERSON RETREATS

The Threshold Process

The Threshold Process is a 5 day, in-person immersion facilitated by Christina Pratt that supports us in stepping into our animist and community selves – the self that can enjoy being in a vibrant healthy community with both the human and other-than-human world. 

The successful movement through the animist threshold created by participation in the Threshold Process is the requirement for entry into the Cycle Teachings and Community.

The Cycle of Transformation

The Cycle Teachings provide a radical roadmap for breaking free from the extractive models of the dominant culture and stepping into a truly regenerative relationship with Life.
 
The Teachings empower Cycle community members to offer their unique gifts in service to personal and collective healing, creating a more joyful and just future for the next generations.

The Cycle of Transformation Teachings are the source of all of the skills for humaning well offered in the LMC Online School and the Why Shamanism Now podcasts. The full Teachings cannot be separated from the Cycle Community, the Cosmology, and the actions of transforming forward into restoring animist lifeways.

The Cycle Teachings are an emerging tradition of shamanic skills practiced to decolonize the assumptions of power/dominance that pattern our minds, rituals to restore the wilderness of our hearts, and the rigor of practice to reclaim our right to an embodied life of connection and intimacy with the physical and nonphysical world.

We stand together in this work to end family patterns of trauma/abuse, cultural patterns of oppression/suppression, and to restore true stories, true love, and kinship with all life, human and more-than-human.

 

Year 1 Teachings: Healer, Death as an Ally, Authenticity, Releasing old stories & embodied lies

Year 2 Teachings: Warrior, Shadow Protocol, Discernment, Engaging fierce, unyielding love

Year 3 Teachings: Teacher, Sacred Syzygy, Complementary Dualism, Right use of Power

Year 4 Teachings: Visionary, Ancestral Healing, Relearning a Dreamer’s Responsibility for Reality

Year 5 Teachings: Dismantling the False self, Telling True Stories with your life.

 

This 5-year cycle of 9 in-person, week-long retreats is for our experienced students who have successfully passed through the animist gate of our Threshold Process. Each year is the prerequisite for the next. Completion is demonstrated by telling your teaching story of the medicine you gained in the Cycle Teachings that you now offer your community.

 

Prerequisites for this retreat are the successful completion of the Threshold Process.
