From the beginning of time, indigenous cultures on every continent shared a shamanic spiritual view. Our forebears lived close to the earth, deeply in tune with her cycles and seasons, the elements and nature. In this connection, they found their spirituality. They believed that every living being had a spirit – not just people, but also animals, trees, stones and plants. They commonly traveled into the spirit realm to communicate and interact with power animals, spirit guides and nature spirits. Through exploring the basics of shamanism, we can rekindle our connection to the divine and develop our ability to communicate directly with Spirit to receive guidance on our spiritual path. This is a foundational class for future shamanic workshops.
In this two-day experiential workshop, we will:
- gain comfort with accessing wisdom through the shamanic journey and explore the shamanic realms by journeying to the Lower and Upper Worlds
- meet a power animal and a spirit teacher to serve as guides in the spirit world
- practice a method of divination with natural objects and connect with nature spirits
- participate in a fire ceremony to release and transform energy
- experiment with the shamanic sounds of drumming and rattling
Fee: $425 with early registration by July 19 -OR- $475 after July 19. Meals included in the workshop fee: snacks, Saturday lunch, Sunday breakfast and Sunday lunch. Dinner on Saturday evening is potluck style before the evening fire ceremony. Saturday night lodging is available on-site at no extra charge and is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you are from out of town and wish to arrive Friday evening, lodging is also available. This is NOT included in the workshop fee, so you would need to make arrangements directly with Karen McIntosh of Crow Moon Healing for Friday night.
