Welcome to the Cycle of Transformation Retreat Registration Form Laying the Bones to Rest August 2nd – 7th 2015 Aldermarsh Retreat Center, 6436 Maxwelton Rd., Clinton, WA 98236 Welcome to the New World. There is no business entity producing Cycle of Transformation retreats* for you to consume. You are producing these retreats, well, actually your community members are and you are new to the Last Mask Community so you don’t know them yet, but they are doing it. What you do need to know is that the retreats, their profits and their losses, belong to the students—to you. This also means that students like you are giving their time, energy, and resources to make your retreat happen. Again, no business and no one being paid to do this. So your timely action and attention to instructions is your first lesson in conserving our resource rich environment and living sustainably. This basic capacity is essential as a foundation to actually living in ayni, gratitude-reciprocity-beauty. Land Spirit Council welcomes you to this step on your journey of living your soul’s purpose with Love, Wisdom, Power, and Vision. Land Spirit Council, (LSC) is the council within the LMCommunity responsible for retreat creation and maintaining right relationship with the Great Spirits of the Land to garner their support for successful retreats, like yours. Money holds energy and, as such, it is sacred and a worthy sacrifice. If you register and pay with intention your can direct your helping spirits and your ancestors to help manifest this retreat in the physical world for you. These are the kinds of small acts of warriorship that a shamanic life is built on. Your retreat fee covers: lodging, food, supplies, and all the various expenses associated with producing a retreat of this quality. This covers essentially everything but your travel. You have options that increase or decrease your final fee. Your sacrifice to the shaman includes your tuition, prep material and follow-up material. This is payment is separate (page 3) and goes directly to the shaman. To Register: 1. All fees go to our LMCommunity Treasurer, Renate Grundstrom, Renate99@comcast.net 2.

As such they were part of Last Mask Center (LMC), which at this time is our only legal entity. In 2008 the Last Mask Community formation began and in 2009 the Cycle Teachings were given to the LMCommunity, which is not yet a legal entity. Therefore all checks are still made out to Last Mask Center, however LMCommunity and its funds are separate from LMC and its funds.

Lets do the math, and get our logistics straight for the Bones retreat. Name: Address: Phone: Email: Dietary restrictions. No red meat or pork is served at retreats. The common restrictions: Gluten, Dairy, Egg, Nightshades are easily catered to as well as true vegetarians. If you have restrictions beyond the usual, LSC will confirm with the caterers. If they cannot be covered you will be informed and a way to help you meet your needs will be arranged. Vegan will depend on the site and Raw Food must be confirmed with LSC. Note ALL TRUE ALLERGIES in the OTHER line. Vegetarian No Wheat No Dairy No Egg No Gluten Other Dietary Restriction: Anything else, like I have three legs or I snore like a walrus or… Three Money Things That Matter (…cuz everything effects everything). 1. Retreats with less than 8 people are not viable energetically for the shaman or the community. Therefore retreats without 8 deposits ($300) by 6 months before the retreat begins will not be produced. So, get your deposits in directly and with intention. 2. Stragglers, people who commit and do not take action, are an energy suck, plain and simple. Stragglers deplete the resource rich environment of our community and neglect their responsibility for understanding that everything affects everything. Those who pay in full on time receive a $150 discount. Those who pay after June 2nd 2015 pay full price. 3. Refunds are offered in accordance with the contract with the retreat site. 1. Basic Retreat Fee $1136.63 Less deposit if already paid, subtract $300 -$ Energy Exchange Discount -Decrease $100.00 -$ Full Payment Received after 6/2/15 +Increase $150.00 2.

Created by LSC, updated 3/7/2015 2 Welcome to the Cycle of Transformation Retreat Registration Form Laying the Bones to Rest August 2nd – 7th 2015 Aldermarsh Retreat Center, 6436 Maxwelton Rd., Clinton, WA 98236 (At this point you are thinking, “Really!...can’t these people streamline this process and this ridiculous form! Can’t I just register online?” Yes, we can. And we have. And we have learned from that choice that it allows you to go unconscious. It allows you to disengage from understanding things like the distinction between an energy exchange with your teacher and paying for your room and board. It allows you to treat the community members who are creating a powerful and beautiful transformational experience for you like a faceless business entity whose energy you can waste. It allows you to disengage from the fact that your every action affects everything. For example, there is a minimum fee we request for the shaman. Let’s call it X. It is different for every retreat. The shaman is leading people through a process. It takes the same amount of energy to create that process for 8 or for 28. So when people are slow to send in their deposits and we have only 8, the number X is divided by 8 and that number is used for pricing the retreat. If 28 people have sent in their deposits then X is divided by 28 and that number is used for pricing. Your actions affect the cost of your retreat. It is our commitment to our vision to produce the Cycle Retreats as a living expression of the Cycle Teachings. As such even your registration is an opportunity to choose to live the teachings in the consciousness required to take the steps and in the awareness that these actions are acts of power and sacrifice.) Tuition: Your tuition is a sacrifice to the spirit world. It is an offering to the shaman who leads you through the retreat’s teachings. As soon as you pay your deposit you are placed on the altar and become part of the manifestation of the teachings. The tuition for this retreat is $625.00. You are welcome to sacrifice more for the work if you choose to. Any sacrifice from the heart communicates directly to the spirit world. You clarify your desires and commit to co-creating your retreat experience. A true sacrifice communicates your heart and your mind. Through your sacrifice you are saying to the spirit world “I am stepping up here. Please meet me.” More is not necessarily better. The spirit world conserves energy; it does not appreciate excess or spiritual ambition. Feel free to offer more of a sacrifice to the shaman if you are called to and if you are able. 1. Basic Tuition $625.00 Additional Sacrifice to the Shaman +$ 2. Your Total Tuition and Sacrifice $ Send this amount to Christina Pratt by mail or email with a copy of your registration form. Checks should be made out to Last Mask Center and sent to Last Mask Center, 2343 SE 44th Ave, Portland, OR 97215. If you are paying via Paypal make payment to christina@lastmaskcenter.org and mail or email your form. NOTE: Keep a copy of the registration form for yourself. Mark your calendar with June 2nd to be sure you get your full payment in on time. This means Retreat Fee and Tuition.
