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.
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.
Each weekend is comprised of
a combination of journeying, experiential exercises, ceremony and
lecture.
I: Introductory
Level Open to anyone with a basic knowledge of shamanic journeying.
Plant & Animal
Medicine
New dates to be announced soon!
Plants and animals are unconditional teachers who have much to share
with us, as they are in tune with the natural rhythms and cycles of life
and live in communion with Mother Earth. We will be journeying
into the knowledge and healing medicine of the
plants and animals. During this experiential weekend we will be
working with live plants and journeying with animal hides to learn from
these incredible teachers.
Medicine for the Earth
How to Heal Personal & Environmental
Toxins
New dates to be announced soon!
This powerfully transformative weekend encompasses our reconnecting with
the elements of Nature, learning to transmute personal toxins and a
deepening of our connection with the Divine. As we
transmute our personal toxins, we create the miracle of mirroring back to the Earth
peace,
harmony, love and divinity, which in turn transforms the toxins in the
World.
Spirits of the land are powerful beings who are
guardians of the Earth. They teach us how to walk in beauty and
honor the sacredness of our world. Their teachings and energies
take us to realms where our soul can 'remember'.

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

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.
