“Parallel zu meiner zu meiner bisherigen Karriere in betriebswirtschaftlichen Managementpositionen praktiziere ich seit Jahren komplementärmedizinische und mediale Heilarbeit. Die Ausbildung an der Lichtkörperschule war nicht nur Krönung in der Ausbildung meiner schamanischen und energiemedizinischen Fertigkeiten, es war ein Dimensionssprung für mein eigenes Leben. Ich habe tiefe Einsicht in mein eigenes Dasein erhalten. Meine erweiterten Fähigkeiten befruchten die Qualität meiner Heilarbeit ebenso wie mein Managerleben. Ich kenne keine höherstehende Ausbildungsmöglichkeit für moderne Energiemedizin und ich schätze das angebotene, internationale Graduierten-Netzwerk sowie die Weiterbildungsmöglichkeiten. Diese Ausbildung verdient fünf Sterne!“
Valentin Lüthi
„Die Lehren, die ich an der Lichtkörperschule der Four Winds Society vermittelt bekommen habe, ermöglichen mir mein Dasein und die Interaktionen mit dem Umfeld und der Natur zu erforschen. Mit einem neuen Bewusstsein und letztendlich einer neuen Perspektive, resultierend aus jahrhundertealten Erkenntnissen, empfehle ich es Jedem für sich selbst auszuprobieren.“
Flavia Pais
„Ich habe die Erfahrung gemacht, dass der Kurs in die tiefsten Schichten meines Selbst vorgedrungen ist. Durch die Lehren und Übungen wurde ich auf der Reise durch das Medizinrad in meine verschiedenen Teile zerlegt, um am Ende wieder bei mir selbst anzukommen – größer als zuvor. Die Ausbildung hat den Grundstein dafür gelegt, dass ich auf meinen weiteren Weg gut beschützt und für diese wundervolle Arbeit gewappnet fühle. Meine Perspektive auf das, was möglich ist, hat sich unendlich erweitert und ich bin Dr. Villoldo und all den Schamanen, die ich im Rahmen des Kurses treffen durfte, für ihre einfühlsame Begleitung und demütige Weisheit dankbar.“

The online course begins July 3.
Alberto traded his laboratory for a pair of hiking boots and a ticket to the Amazon—determined to learn from researchers whose vision had not been confined to the lens of a microscope, from people whose body of knowledge encompassed more than the measurable, material world that he had been taught was the ONLY reality. He wanted to meet the people who sensed the spaces between things and perceived the luminous strands that animate all life. Scattered throughout the remands and Amazon were a number of sages or “Earth Keepers” who remembered the ancient ways. Alberto traveled through countless villages and hamlets and met with scores of medicine men and women. The lack of a written body of knowledge meant that every village had brought its own flavor and style to the healing practices that still survived.
For more than 10 years, Alberto trained with the jungle medicine people. In healing his own soul wounds, Alberto walked the path of the wounded healer and learned to transform old pain, grief, anger and shame to sources of strength and compassion.
From the Amazon, Alberto trekked the coast of Peru, from Nazca, the site of gigantic markings on the desert floor that depict power animals and geometric figures, to the fabled Shimbe lagoons in the North, home to the country’s most renowned shamans. Then, in Lake Titicaca – the Sea on Top of the World – Alberto collected the stories and healing practices of the people from which, the legends say, the Inka were born.
Through it all, Alberto discovered a set of technologies that transform the body, heal the soul, and can change the way we live and the way we die.
These ancient teachings explain that a Luminous Energy Field (LEF) surrounds us and acts as a matrix or blueprint that maintains the health and vibrancy of the physical body.
Alberto is founder of the world-renowned Four Winds Society and of the Light Body School. In his teachings and writings, he shares the experience of infinity and it’s ability to heal and transform us, to free us from the temporal chains that keep us fettered to illness, old age and disease.
Alberto is the author of numerous best-selling books, several of which are available in many languages: Power up Your Brain: The Neuroscience of Enlightenment (with David Perlmutter, MD); Shaman, Healer, Sage; The Four Insights; Mending The Past & Healing The Future With Soul Retrieval; Illumination: The Shaman’s Way of Healing; Courageous Dreaming: How Shamans Dream the World into Being; The Four Winds: A Shaman’s Odyssey into the Amazon (with Erik Jendresen); Dance of the Four Winds: Secrets of the Inca Medicine Wheel (with Erik Jendresen); Island of the Sun: Mastering the Inca Medicine Wheel (with Erik Jendresen); Yoga, Power, and Spirit: Patanjali the Shaman; The Realms of Healing (with Stanley Krippner Ph.D.); Healing States: A Journey Into the World of Spiritual Healing and Shamanism (with Stanley Krippner Ph.D.); Skeleton Woman; The First Story Ever Told (with Erik Jendresen)
