This workshop is an introductory exploration of shamanic consciousness
and journeying. Participants learn to create, maintain and work with
the shamanic body in preparation for journeying to the upper, middle
and lower worlds. The basic terminology and cosmology of shamanic
practice is taught on the first evening. The balance of the workshop is
experiential, focusing on active work with the shamanic body in
alternate states of consciousness.
The Medicine Body is one of the most powerful tools for the Shaman.
It's foundation is the energy field that surrounds our physical bodies.
This workshop focuses on the creation, maintenance and use of the
Medicine Body for shamanic transformative and healing work. The
workshop will include practical exercises in breathing, energy,
conscious awareness and more.
Shamans live in a world that is invisible to the average person. It is
a world of spirits – spirits of earth and plants and ancestors – all of
which can become allies in the search for wholeness. This workshop
brings you into contact with the spirit world, providing techniques to
communicate and interact safely and effectively.
There are different ways to dream. This workshop works with the dreams
in which we can journey in the three worlds in our Dream Body, finding
answers and healing in our Dreaming. It also introduces dreaming
techniques drawn from Tibetan shamanism that allow us to enter a dream
while fully "awake."
A series of intermediate workshops, focusing on the techniques of
healing through use of sound, energy, vibration, intention and physical
manipulation while in shamanic states of consciousness. The techniques
are drawn from various tribal societies and include energy and
vibrational healing; communication with spirits; extraction; soul
retrieval; and the use of safe and effective boundaries and application
of these techniques to the modern therapeutic practice.
One of the classic techniques of the traditional shaman, this powerful
tool promotes healing at all levels. This workshop covers the
fundamentals of retrieval anywhere in the three worlds.
The invisible wound is one we all experience. It is the wound of
separation from the Self, the Divine, each other, our ancestors and the
earth. This is a more advanced workshop for those with some degree of
experience in shamanic journeying and trancework. It focuses on the
healing of this wound through the development of deeper connections
with self, spirit, community and the divine.
In this workshop we seek to realize, reveal, recognize and integrate as
much of our unknown self as possible. Drawing the parts of our selves
that we don’t know out of the shadows and into our waking life. To do
this, we will be confronting the issues which cut us off from our
selves. Fear, shame, anger and other "negative" emotions will be
explored and exercised. We will journey into the deep, dark places
where we hide the parts of ourselves that we don’t want to acknowledge
and bring them back with us.

The role of the Shaman often includes the creation and direction of
ritual and ceremonies to support the people they work with, to provide

12 participants.
