Intro to Shamanism, Power Animals and the Shamanic Journey

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

This one day experiential workshop 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. 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.

Shamanic Journeying is a spiritual out of body experience that opens the doorway to non-ordinary realities where spiritual teachers and power (totem) animals can be found. These compassionate beings are ready to assist us, but we must first “acknowledge” them to be able to “access their knowledge”. We will "journey" 3 times during this workshop and begin to paint those spiritual landscapes that are not only unique to us but have been traveled and shared collectively by shaman and medicine people around the world for thousands of years. I will drum for you as learn to 'ride the vibrations of the drum' in a meditative like state while you experience firsthand, this non-ordinary reality where you will connect (or re-connect) with your power animals and spirit guides as well as receive a healing from the higher realms.

Never before in the history of man has our conscious evolution experienced the quantum leaps in spiritual growth that we are now witnessing at this moment in time; and it's no coincidence that spiritual teachings have become mainstream and more easily accessible than ever before. 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 that really means.

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!

The gathering begins at 6:30 so we can begin drumming at 7pm.
