The classic shamanic journey is a visionary method for exploring the hidden universe, otherwise known mainly through myth and dream. This experiential workshop will introduce core shamanism: the near-universal basic methods the shaman uses to enter non-ordinary reality. Aided by drumming and movement techniques, you will be initiated into shamanic journeying and introduced to the shamanic state of consciousness. You will also learn methods for journeying to discover and commune with your own individual spiritual teachers in non-ordinary reality and learn how the journey is utilized to restore spiritual power and health. Shamanism can be applied in contemporary daily life to help heal oneself, others, and the planet.
David and Nan are faculty for the Foundation for Shamanic Studies and experienced teachers. Completion of this workshop, also known as the Basic Workshop, qualifies you to take more advanced workshops and training courses with the Foundation.
Please bring a drum or rattle if you have one. Wear comfortable, loose clothing, warm socks, and bring an eye cover, cushion and/or blanket for sitting, a rough-surfaced rock the size of a grapefruit, and a pen and notebook to record your journeys.
Fee: $225 Times: Saturday and Sunday 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
