Prominent global expert on earth energies to give rare workshop in Iloilo
Marko Pogacnik, one of the world's most prominent experts on earth energies, will be in Iloilo Province to conduct a unique and rare workshop on "Earth Energies and The Quest for a Sustainable Society".
Marko Pogacnik will be offering a one-day public workshop on 25 November 2006 in Barangay Libongcogon, Zarraga to discuss the energy patterns in Western Visayas, especially Panay, and what these patterns signify for efforts connected with integral sustainable development.
Pogacnik has discovered that the center of the energetic system of the Philippines lies off the coast of northern Panay. He will lead workshop participants to an understanding of what this unusual discovery can mean for housing developments, banking, schools, micro-finance, agriculture, landscape architecture, spiritual and leadership development, environmental work, education, and other areas of human endeavor.
Scientific studies through the years reveal that our planet is permeated by different kinds of earth energies. These earth energies can be beneficial or harmful. They can increase our health and creativity or they can cause low performance, conflict and illness. Ancient and recent civilizations knew this. They utilized their knowledge to avoid problematic geographic spots while, at the same time, harnessing positive earth energies to amplify the impact of their activities and produce greater health and harmony in their societies.
In the Philippines, the practice of working with earth energies is called "feng shui", the Chinese approach to using earth energies to achieve health and prosperity and to avoid misfortunes. Native dowsers in Panay tap earth energies to identify good sources of water. Many mainstream businesses and house owners consult feng shui experts to help determine the best location and design of their building structures and activities. However, one has to learn to discern between authentic feng shui and superstition.
During the workshop, Marko Pogacnik will discuss his direct experience of the energies that crisscross the Philippines. Workshop participants will discuss whether the mega-energetic network center near Panay explains why anthropologists have identified Panay as a major spiritual center during pre-hispanic times until the early beginnings of the 20th century. They will also explore the possibility that these energies may be the outer garment of nature intelligences which maintain the coherent flow of these energies throughout the planet. During the workshop Marko Pogacnik will emphasize that self-transformation is the foundation of earth healing. On this basis, he will teach participants how to develop methods with which to diagnose and heal the earth's subtle life energy systems, using "lithopuncture" (a form of earth acupuncture invented by Marko) and the energies of sound, color, intention and imagination.
