Dear Friends,
This winter is passing at warp speed. I’m not sure what happened to my resolution to be like a bear and hibernate during the dark of the season. As the days are visibly lengthening, I find myself hitting the ground running (not literally I assure you) to keep up with my correspondence and projects.
I’m including here an article I wrote for New Connexions magazine following the amazing weekend event with Dr. Bruce Lipton, author of Biology of Belief here in Eugene last month. I hope it conveys my excitement about our work together merging science and shamanism. Those of you who are planning to come to Egypt this April with Bruce and myself had best jump on confirming your space. I moved the date for late registration fee to February 1 to give some folks a little extra time, but we will have to complete our bookings soon after that and will not be able to get rooms at the last minute at all this year. Please go here for the latest in details and information. We are also taking deposits for our autumn tours now.
The phone bridge calls have been amazing. We got great feedback on the Why Egypt? call with Bruce Lipton. Many who were not able to make the call asked how they could hear it or get the information to others, so we posted it on our below. We’ve had some technical difficulties while automating the registration system for our phone bridges, so please let us know if you had or have trouble getting the phone and pin numbers for any past or upcoming teleconferences.
I’m loving the phone bridge classes. I enjoy kicking back at home and getting really excited while sharing the latest in Alchemical Healing and the Egyptian Mysteries with equally comfortable friends in the surprisingly intimate phone space. Look for more classes coming up soon, and more guests and teachers.
Our next free phone bridge is, Why Peru?, will be hosted by myself, our Peru tour leader with Liisa Korpela, my associate and master herbalist, and our Andean shaman, Mallku. Click here to register for this free call, which will be held February 6 at 6PM Pacific time. Please join us to find out more bout this adventure.
Please read on below about the conferences, classes and tours that are coming up soon. There is only a partial list here, so for a more complete schedule, see our schedules page.
I look forward to seeing you soon,
In joy and with love,
Nicki Scully
 Why Egypt?
A conversation with Bruce Lipton and Nicki Scully

The Grand Convergence, Merging Science and Shamanism
Nicki Scully with Bruce Lipton, Ph.D.
Throughout all the centuries man has walked the earth, humans have endeavored to plumb the mysteries. The small traces of ancient cultures that have been left for us to see provide evidence of ritualistic behavior and pursuits of a spiritual nature. Even the more recent forebears of modern science, such as alchemists of yore, accepted and even relied upon the Great Unknowable. And then a new breed of scientist came along who felt confident that every aspect of this great universe was knowable and that the word “mystery” was merely a fancy way of saying “research incomplete.”
For about three hundred years the gulf between science and shamanism has widened, but now a new science is emerging, and the circle is becoming complete. Since the advent of quantum mechanics, scientists like cellular biologist Bruce Lipton are discovering, measuring, and concluding that there is a lot more going on than basic building blocks and Newtonian physics. Thoughts, beliefs, and even prayers can influence the wellbeing of our living cells! In fact, Dr. Lipton’s stem cell research conclusively points out that we are not bound by our genetic make-up as indelibly as previously thought. It turns out that the genome studies that created the central prevailing dogma didn’t take into consideration the presence of regulatory proteins when they determined the initial role of genes. These proteins control every aspect of gene activity in the process of how the blueprints that are the genetic codes actually manifest into the variously functioning cells of the body. When they are added to the equation, they explain how the codes are impacted by environmental signals.
Recently I had the great pleasure of presenting with Dr. Lipton an event in Eugene we called “The Grand Convergence—the Merging of Science and Shamanism.” It was like a dance on stage replete with PowerPoint presentations as a backdrop. One moment the audience was being drawn deeply into that trance-like arena where miracles can and did happen, entering other spiritual dimensions of consciousness, and the next moment they were learning about proteins and “mem-brains” and how the shamanic journey they just took was real and explainable from a scientific perspective.

Transformation Through Alchemy and Egyptian Shamanism
Join us for this opportunity for healing, transformation, and empowerment during which you will learn principles of alchemy along with shamanic methods of renewing the body and reclaiming inherent powers to heal, and to discover and fulfill your sacred purpose. Nicki will share some of the newest thechniques from her voluminous medicine bag of healing tools. You will also learn ancient ways to commune with and draw from your collective ancestral line, and will give and receive healings that affect your entire lineage.
Nicki's healing and shamanic teachings are sourced in ancient Egypt. This weekend will include empowerments from the ever evolving Shamanic Mysteries of Egypt, including a taste from her soon to be published Anubis Oracle, co-authored with Linda Star Wolf. Included in this work are powerful shamanic journeys with various deities of the ancient Egyptian pantheon, from whom we receive support and empowerment, renewed vitality and confidence, and awaken to our creativity and healing abilities. And there is much more…
During this time of planetary peril, every one of us is being asked to be the fearless warrior we truly are. Together we will reclaim our power and learn how to use it to manifest healing and consciously weave a beneficial future for ourselves and for the benefit of All Our Relations.
Workshop will be held Saturday and Sunday March 8 and 9 at Starfeather's Lodge in Edmonds, Washington (near Seattle).
