   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.

Your journey begins here...


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.

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.    

Extractions
Prerequisite: Medicine for the Earth

6 session class

Soul Retrieval

   Soul loss is an innate survival technique to protect us from all types of traumatic experiences throughout our lifetime. When a piece of our soul, a quality of one's self, leaves and is unable to return on its own, we can manifest depression, inability to move forward and powerlessness.  This phenomenal healing technique changes lives by helping to return balance and restore one's ability to create their life.

   We live in a society which has become afraid of dying and live in a time where there are many violent deaths.  During these challenging times, a soul can have difficulty in transitioning from this world to the next.  By learning about death and how to help souls cross over, we offer one of the most sacred and holy services to our world.

Walking in Both Worlds
