INTRODUCTION TO THE SHAMANIC JOURNEY

We live in times of challenge, discomfort and change - within ourselves, our families, our aspirations, local communities and throughout the world. Many of us struggle to understand these challenges and in that struggle find ourselves propelled toward an exploration of our spirituality knowingthat in this other-worldly exploration we may receive guidance and answers to questions that we carry.

Shamanism is ancient system that can be traced back through time to the period of our earliest ancestors. During this experiential workshop participants are introduced to the basic elements of shamanic practice. Particular emphasis is on the Shamanic Journey, a method used to enter a dream-like state of consciousness and to connect with our dormant spiritual nature. Participants will learn how the journey is utilized and how shamanic practice can be applied in contemporary daily life for guidance, clarity and for healing oneself, others and our planet. This workshop is designed for both the beginner and for more advanced explorers of consciousness and spirituality.

*The cosmic geography of the shamanic world
*The Axis Mundi
*The shamanic journey process
(aided by drumming and other techniques)
*Meeting your power animal and kin
