Intro to Shamanism, Power Animals and the Shamanic Journey

This one day experiential offering introduces the seeker to a journey of their soul by way of the shamanic journey; a drug free altered state of awareness that is a powerful tool used for healing, self-awareness and spiritual guidance in our daily lives.

If you are searching for what is next or looking for reflections of what your soul's purpose may be, then this introductory shamanic offering is for you!

   Shamanic Journeying is not a religion, rather a spiritual out of body experience that opens the doorway to non-ordinary realities where spiritual teachers and power (totem) animals can be found. The experience paints a spiritual landscape that is not only unique to us, but has been traveled and shared collectively by shaman and medicine people around the world for thousands of years.  

  During the course of the day, we will come to understand the "what, when, where, who's and how's" of Shamanism and how this shift in consciousness is a practice that anyone can learn.  You will "journey" three  times as I drum for you, while learning to 'ride the vibrations of the drum' in a meditative like state where you experience firsthand, this non-ordinary reality that connects (or re-connects) you with your power animals and spirit guides as well as receive a healing from the higher realms.  All one really needs to do is “acknowledge” these shamanic helpers, to “access their knowledge”.

The Hopi elders say “WE are the ones we’ve been waiting for” – so what are we waiting for??

If you ponder that our physical body is just a temporary experience, and our spiritual essence (soul energy) continues to live on long after we drop our fleshly clothes, then perhaps the time has come to shift our awareness to what these pathways of our spiritual journey really means.  

Location: Mattapoisett Wellness Center

What to bring: Please bring your journal or notebook, light snack, lunch (or option to buy), water bottle and a pair of warm socks!!

Drum Circle

Drumming is truly a call to Spirit. In its simplest form, drumming is a great stress reliever and method for relaxation but did you know this mediator of time and space also cleanses the aura and balances the chakras? The pulsing beat of the drum anchors the body and connects you deeply to your own internal rhythms, stilling the mind as it gets you out of your head and into your own sacred space. It beckons you to listen as it brings you down to earth and then transports you from the mundane into the non-ordinary.

We begin by creating a sacred circle and invite in all the good medicine reflections of the group. The drumming becomes a powerful tool to assist on our healing journeys as these sound currents help dislodge any stuck energies, patterns or emotions - both personal and collective. When we set intentions and gather in a sacred circle to drum, we create a powerful cohesive spiritual community whose possibilities for healing and change move well beyond the scope of ordinary.

There are perhaps as many different drum circles as there are drummers and drums. My guidance on how to present this offering came to me in a vision. So regardless of whether you are a first timer or experienced drummer, come on out and join us tonight as we step into these healing harmonies.

Feel free to bring your own drums, rattles, bowls, or bells as we embrace the rhythm that connects us all within this ancient healing practice. We will have a few extra drums and rattles on hand.

Warm socks suggested and a water bottle to stay hydrated!

Please arrive at 6:30 for smudging and time to settle in, we begin drumming at 7pm.

 The Soul's Journey and Journal Workshop

My friend and colleague Deb Ogden (Laughing Water Designs) and I are excited to announce a new monthly offering called "The Soul's Journey and Journal Workshop". 

This monthly spirit oriented workshop is designed to help you gather insight and guidance from a myriad of cosmic support including tarot cards, the calendar, numbers, moons, zodiac, the medicine wheel and more. Each month has its own energy and specific helpers who assist in your intentions as we journal, meditate and travel this non-ordinary reality together to piece our soul puzzle together.

We begin by journaling our intentions, followed by a shamanic journey to meet our spirit helpers for added insight. We round out this workshop by grounding and translating our journey messages into a tangible art form utilizing multiple mediums and tools.

  If you are searching for the next step on your soul's journey or looking to deepen your current practice, this workshop offers some great reflections from both the universe as well as each other.

Based in part on my book "The Cosmic Template; A Shamanic Month Minder for the Evolving Soul" and Deb’s lifetime knowledge of artistic mastery, this workshop has evolved from our own daily practices and medicine teachings gathered over many years.

Sunday afternoons 12-4 beginning February 23

Location TBA on the South Shore (please contact me if you know of a good location to host us!!)

Suggested donation $40

"Shamanic Helpers" Workshop

Those of us who view the world through shamanic eyes know that everything in nature has a SPIRIT. This workshop introduces (or re-introduces) you to the many shamanic helpers who are ready to assist us on our Earthly Journey.  This day long program invites us to ponder the deeper meanings of life around us…when we “acknowledge” these shamanic helpers, we can “access their knowledge”.

Created and derived from my own ceremonial practice over the years, included are teachings from:

The Winged Ones – our feathered friends 
The Stone People – rock divination 
Plant People/Standing Ones – sacred herbs and smudge/tree wisdom 
Power Animals – our totem helpers 
Rattles and Drums – the power of vibration 
Medicine Wheel – the power of direction

Creating Sacred Space and Ceremony - Bringing it all together into your spiritual toolbox to create every day sacred space as well as personal and/or group ceremony

We close with a group gratitude ceremony that we create together, by integrating this practical knowledge from our newly refreshed spiritual toolbox thereby creating a collective, sacred space.   

~*~

No Experience Necessary!

** Please bring a baseball/grapefruit sized rock, one that can be returned to nature when the class is finished. Do not bring a favorite, household item or stone that already has meaning to you.  The best way to 'find' your rock is to take a walk outside, anywhere in nature. While you are walking, imagine there is a rock waiting somewhere just for you. As you walk, offer a little gratitude for this rock to show itself to you. When you approach anything of this nature in a 'good' way, it will appear. As you pick it up, hold it in your hands for a few moments, asking if this rock is meant for you. See if you can notice any sensations in your mind or hands as you do this.  Do not examine it or think too much about if it 'looks' right, only that it 'feels' right.

** Feel free to bring your drum and/or rattle if you have one.

** Bring a water bottle and a notebook or journal to write in. (Catered Lunch/beverages is included)

 The Akashic Records

(with Arlene Dorischild)

The name Akashic comes from the word "Akasha" which is the Sanskrit word for 'sky' 'space' or 'ether'.

In this daylong workshop you will enter your own Akashic record which is a compendium of mystical knowledge encoded as a state of Consciousness within yourself. The Akashic Records are every thought that has ever been and every probability that will ever be.

Everyone has access to the Akashic Records, and in fact most of us access it every day.

Our tools to do this will be Meditation, Visualization and Affirmative Prayer. Together we will set the stage for these readings with willingness, an open heart, and joy.  Manual, certificate and lunch included.

Location - Hull

Atlantean Power Rods with Arlene Dorischild, MA, LMT, Reiki Master Teacher

In this exciting daylong workshop, we will make an Atlantean Power Rod which is a beautiful Ceremonial Healing Wand or Rod in crystal, leather and copper. The basic rod is a hollow 12-inch copper tube. At one end is a quartz crystal. The outer covering or insulation is leather, wrapped in a flat spiral.

One of the most valuable uses for this type of rod is in healing, where the energy from the rod is used to remove energy blockages. This provides a balanced flow of the body's life-force energy. Removing the energy blocks provides a balance, while the body does the healing itself. This type of healing is easily done with plants, animals and people. We will use the rods on ourselves and in a closing ceremony, project peace and healing with our rods, to our planet.

All materials and lunch included.

Workshop fee $125

Limited to 6 seekers

Pre-registration recommended.
