   Journey of the Soul is a compilation of Shamanic Gatherings dedicated to bringing shamanic spiritual practices and healing modalities into the 21st Century.  The gatherings vary from a one day workshop, weekend gatherings, to a 5 day Vision Quest, encompassing teachings from the basics of journeying to advanced shamanic healing techniques.

   Throughout time, Shamanism, has been a way of life, teaching us to walk in both worlds combining earthly traditions and spiritual practices with the importance of community.  Shamanic Journeying is a way to access information and healing for ourselves and communities for the betterment of the Earth and her people.  It expands our own knowledge and opens up a Sacred Space within which invites Spirit to teach us and help us "remember" the Journey of Our Soul.  For those drawn or called to Shamanism/Journey work, we invite you to join us.

    Each Gathering and Training is held in an intimate setting at the office of Donna Callaghan in Chicago Heights Illinois, allowing for a more individualized and hands-on
learning experience. 

    In the spirit of community, students are welcome to join a Circle gathering, the 2nd Monday of each month from 7 to 9pm beginning September 10th for a love donation of $10.  Each month’s circle will have a pre-arranged focus along with an intention to hold space for the healing of Mother Earth. 


 

This is a journey of remembering
ourselves and our soul’s path.

We begin here with
Introduction to Shamanism!

All other classes are listed below.


Learn Shamanic Journeying
For a full listing of classes click here
or visit our Introduction to Shamanism Page

   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.

Come & Enjoy!

II:  Level II Trainings


     
Shamanism helps us to understand that spiritual illness creates imbalance spiritually, emotionally and physically in our being which impedes our ability to live life to the fullest and opens us up to dis-ease on all levels of our being.  The following healing techniques are utilized to return to balance and harmony.    

   Spirit of Trauma
Unraveling Generational Trauma
Suggested Prerequisite: Medicine for the Earth

New date to be announced soon!
 

   Spirit of Trauma, generational trauma, is an energetic wound created from emotional, physical, mental, or spiritual trauma which is passed down our generational lines until it is healed. By healing Spirits of Trauma, we break the cycles of trauma within our families and ourselves. This is a gift we give to ourselves, our families and the world.

Extractions
Suggested Prerequisite: Medicine for the Earth

Saturday, October 12th & Sunday, October 13th, 2008

   Extraction is the process of removing energetic blockages, intrusions and attachments we have collected through our walk of life, which impede us from clear thoughts, manifesting our dreams, and realizing our true selves. 

Death & Dying
Prerequisite: Extraction

Saturday, Nov 8th & Sunday, Nov 9th, 2008
9 to 5 pm

   We live in a society which is afraid of death and a time in our world where there is much violent death.  As a result, there can be difficulty in a soul's progression in crossing over.  By learning about death and how to help souls cross over, we are offering one of the most sacred and holy services to our world.

Soul Retrieval
Prerequisite: Extraction

February 7th & 8th, 2009
9 to 5 pm

   Soul loss is a survival technique of our being to protect us from all types of traumatic experiences throughout our lifetime.  When a piece of our soul leaves and is unable to return, we can manifest depression, inability to move forward and powerlessness.  This phenomenal healing technique changes lives by helping to return balance and restore the ability to create the life we choose. 

Walking in both Worlds
Prerequisite: All Level I & II trainings

Saturday, April 18th & Sunday, April 19th, 2009
9 to 5 pm

   Walking in both worlds is the culmination of living each day connected to Spirit and incorporating sacred knowledge into our daily lives.  We will be working with song, silence, community and nature to help illuminate this aspect of shamanism.

To register for any of the above trainings, contact Donna at donna@peaceplace.net or call (708) 754-5555

Cost for each of the above Level II weekends: $265
