One-day workshop
Healing With Benevolent Spirits:
The Ancient Art & Practice of Shamanic Journeying
outline
Shamanic journeying is one of the most common ceremonies in the practice of shamanism. People worldwide have used dancing, singing, drumming and rattling to achieve natural trance states since ancient times.
The practice of journeying is a method of direct revelation that enables us to roam the invisible realms of benevolent helping spirits and nature beings whenever we’re in need of encouragement, wise council, and powerful medicine.
Whether we’re aware of them or not, it is believed that we all have compassionate helping spirits who are committed to our wellbeing, protection, and evolution.
During this foundational course on shamanic journeying, you’ll experience firsthand what it feels like to explore the unseen realms and be in relationship with these divine beings. You may then share the benefits of these connections with your family and communities.
During this one-day workshop you will:
Receive an introduction to the ancient practice of shamanism
Explore the three primary levels of the shaman’s universe comprised of an upper, middle, and lower world that coexist with our physical realm, where you can communicate with power animals, guardian spirits, teachers, nature beings and elements - and receive healing and guidance.
Establish a safe and intentional shamanic journey practice that you can use as you engage more fully in your spiritual path
Explore the tools shamans use to enter the unseen realms - and how to prepare for and interpret shamanic journeys
Learn how to ask your helping spirits appropriate questions that optimize the guidance you receive
Activate your subtle pathways of perception, that can enable you to see, sense, hear, touch, smell, taste, and feel while journeying throughout the invisible realms
Gain a deeper understanding of when to journey to the Lower world versus the Upper world
Journey to your power place in non ordinary reality and your river of medicine
Partner with a power animal, a spirit teacher, and a nature spirit who co-exists alongside you in the place where you live
Anyone can learn how to journey. Once you have learned the basic skills, the practice is awake and alive within you - available at any time. You will have a better sense of how you can be of service to your family and your community.
