About
We love spiritual community and the magic that happens when people on a similar path join together to create inner and outer transformation. The physical manifestation of the Toltec Center is in Austin, TX and our community ripples out internationally from this heart through our many long distance programs and networks.
The Toltec Center of Creative Intent (TCCI) is a non-denominational, shamanic-focused church based in Toltec wisdom. We offer classes, workshops, apprenticeships, power journeys, and ministry, along with a ever growing library of books and audio. Our website is a resource for articles, audio, and videos.
You are so welcome to share our many offerings; the best way is to sign up for our monthly newsletter, which is packed with inspiration and special offerings.
May you find creative flow and clarity of intent in all that you do!
What Is Spiritual Integrity and How Do I Get Some?
Spiritual Integrity is a path to wholeness. It means living from your core, your true essence. When we live from our Spiritual Integrity, we are constantly inspired and energized to respond to change with eyes wide open. We are clear about who we are and where we are going. We follow through on our commitments without stress, confusion, or fear. Our actions are in alignment with our heart. Each day is a playful co-creation with the Divine. Life is good!
The Spiritual Integrity concept came out of the continuing evolution of the Toltec teachings of Heather Ash Amara and Raven Smith. At the last gathering of our advanced apprenticeship group (Jump!) we looked in each other's eyes and were awed at how much we had each transformed through our two years together, and how deeply we had embodied our own integrity and self-love. We dreamed into, "How can we share this power and healing in a wider way?" Our vision was a Spiritual Integrity movement that would spark the inner fire within people to find the courage and self-acceptance to return to their authentic essence. It is our delight to share the gift of the teachings that have transformed us, and to call more playmates who are seeking truth, inspiration, and purpose.
Our motto is: Find your true self and have fun doing it! We are seriously dedicated to freedom from all limitations, and we have learned that transformation happens most quickly when we access openhearted curiosity towards our own fears and blocks rather than self-punishment and judgment.
Core Principles
- The Universe is one infinite field of energy, and that one is your divine essence. You are the Divine, whole and complete in this moment, but you have forgotten that this is your birthright. By attending to your perceived limitations, you inflict pain and misery on your being.
- Life is a gift that can be filled with suffering and fear, or suffused with inspiration and joy. The task at hand is reclaiming your ability to choose. It is possible to manifest your greatest good by focusing on openness, love, infinity, expansion, and your highest self.
- You can choose your reality in each moment. To nourish your ability to do this you must consciously align your mental, energetic, emotional, and physical being with your Spirit's highest purpose. As you come into alignment with your core, you access the inner wisdom that allows life to gracefully flow through you.
- Learning to perceive the world energetically helps to free you from one of the most daunting obstacles: judgment. Direct experience of the flow of energy through the universe disempowers judgments and negative emotions. When you open your perception to the mystery that surrounds you, the blissful inspiration of pure awareness keeps you energized and firmly on the path of heart.
- Life is unfolding now, in the present moment. Enhanced living involves staying clear minded, open hearted, grounded in the body, and joyfully engaged in each moment. Awareness of our impending death reminds us that we are capable of experiencing Spirit right now.
- Each time that you set an intent to change, what naturally arises are the obstacles that separate you from who or where you want to be. These obstacles include strong negative emotions, old mental strategies, and unconscious agreements. Maintaining a curious attitude concerning these obstacles allows for new and creative responses.
- Changing your beliefs and opening your perception requires action! Pragmatic tools and practices are essential for walking a spiritual path. We employ many tools to resolve personal obstacles, to foster inspiration, and to strengthen a sense of connectedness. Our favorites include
- Shamanic energy work and healing
- Creative Intent
- Awareness practices
- Toltec Recapitulation
- Traditional shamanic practices to connect directly to Spirit, such as sweat lodge, firewalking, vision quest, and shamanic journeying
- Emotional release and clearing
- Energetic perception
- Prayer and ceremony
- Experimentation and direct action
- Fierce honesty coupled with compassion for each individual's situation
Joyfully living your destiny, with an open heart and in sacred union with the Divine is the reward for cleaning out your unconscious belief matrix. Join us in living Spirit, not as an abstract concept, but as a vital experience!
