"Our destiny is not the same as our future: While the future is what will happen later, destiny is in every instant, and we can always make ourselves available to it. Destiny is saying yes to the calling we were born with, while fate is what happens when we fight or ignore our calling." Alberto Villoldo, Founder of the Four Winds Society, Mending the Past and Healing the Future with Soul Retrival
"When we are in alignment with our purpose, the whole universe will roll at our feet in ecstasy." Kafka
Welcome to the Condor Journey!
The Condor Journey is the journey back to our soul's calling - to the place of our deepest purpose. Our life experiences, our family histories, and our karma can derail our destiny, leaving us stalked by fear and death. Navigating these realms requires an experienced shaman who can mediate between the worlds of energy and matter, negotiate with powerful archetypal energies, and use sacred tools and ancient wisdom on behalf of her client. Victoria Johnson, Founder of the Condor Journey, is a seasoned shamanic practitioner, visionary, and teacher of energy medicine whose passion (and mission) is to assist clients in reclaiming their purpose and building courageous mythic dreams for themselves and the world.
Our planet is in the midst of significant change, as we birth the new humanity. It is a time of immense growth and opportunity to create a world of beauty and peace. And, as always, it begins with us.
As in the stunning words of poet Em Claire, "there is room in this boat: take your seat. Take up your paddle, and all of us - All of us - shall row our hearts back home." The Longing, from Silent Sacred Holy Deepening Heart
This is the Condor Journey. Are you ready?
For a New Beginning?
For A New Beginning
In out-of-the-way places of the heart,
Where your thoughts never think to wander,
This beginning has been quietly forming,
Waiting until you were ready to emerge.
For a long time it has watched your desire,
Feeling the emptiness growing inside you,
Noticing how you willed yourself on,
Still unable to leave what you had outgrown.
It watched you play with the seduction of safety
And the gray promises that sameness whispered,
Heard the waves of turmoil rise and relent,
Wondered would you always live like this.
Then the delight, when your courage kindled,
And out you stepped onto new ground,
Your eyes young again with energy and dream,
A path of plenitude opening before you.
Though your destination is not yet clear
You can trust the promise of this opening;
Unfurl yourself into the grace of beginning
That is at one with your life's desire.
Awaken your spirit to adventure;
Hold nothing back, learn to find ease in risk;
Soon you will be home in a new rhythm,
For your soul senses the world that awaits you.
