Journey of the Soul Shamanic Studies Program Exploring the
Teachings and Healing Arts of Shamanism
This Shamanic
Studies Program is a
compilation of
Shamanic Gatherings dedicated to bringing shamanic spiritual
practices and healing modalities into the 21st Century, encompassing teachings from
the basics of journeying to advanced shamanic
healing techniques.
Throughout time, Shamanism
has been a way of life that teaches us to walk in both worlds,
combining earthly traditions and spiritual practices. Shamanic Journeying is a way to access
information and healing for ourselves and our communities, as well
as for the
betterment of the Earth and Her people. It expands our own
knowledge and opens a Sacred Space within which invites
Spirit to teach us and help us "remember" the Journey of
Our Soul.
This program has 3 levels of study, each level
building upon the one prior. The classes are a combination of
journeying, experiential exercises, ceremony and lecture, creating a
hands-on learning experience. Level I classes encompass the
foundation of Shamanism. Level II consists of more in-depth
Shamanic techniques and healing modalities. Level III is for
those wanting to delve deeper into Shamanic healing and/or have a
desire to become a Shamanic Practitioner.
Individuals begin this journey for many different reasons, their
own personal healing, a call to remember, a desire to be in
community and/or to become a shamanic practitioner.
Whatever it is that calls you to this
path, it will change your life and feed your soul.
Shamanic journeying is the
process of moving into an altered state of consciousness, 'non-ordinary
reality', to deepen our connection to Spirit, receive divine guidance,
access information, experience healings on many levels, as well as
facilitate healing experiences for others. By bringing the
teachings of Shamanism into our daily lives, we can more fully
experience our own divinity, our innate understanding of the Oneness of
all life, and 'mirror' these Spiritual Truths to the World.
You will learn the basic skills of Shamanic Journeying.
By utilizing the beat of a drum, you will learn how to move into an
altered state of consciousness to gain access to the upper, middle, and
lower worlds of non-ordinary reality, extraordinary energy realms
filled with teachers, guides, knowledge and healing. We
will be covering the basics of how to create a sacred space to journey
from within and how to work with your power animal.
Please wear
comfortable clothing, bring a blanket, a drum and/or rattle if you have
one. There will be some available to use for the weekend.

our connection with the Divine. And as a community, we will come together with
all we’ve learned to take part in a powerful water ceremony.

Level II Trainings
Shamanism
helps us to view living out of balance, whether it demonstrate itself as
depression, anxiety, addictions, abuse, sorrow and/or illness, from a
spiritual understanding. Whenever we experience a difficulty in
our lives which separates us from our
Divinity, an imbalance (spiritual,
emotional and/or physical) is created in our being. This imbalance, being out
of harmony, impedes our ability be present in our life and opens us up to dis-ease on all levels of our
being. The following healing modalities are utilized to return
balance and harmony to ourselves and in-turn our world.

most sacred and holy services to our world.
