Introduction to Shamanic Journeying
In this one day workshop you will learn to enter the shamanic journey trance state supported by drumming and rattling. The "journey" is the basis of shamanic practice and an integral part of most shamanic work. We will also explore the landscapes of the shamanic realms of the lower and upper world, learn how to retrieve your power animal and spirit teachers, and practice some basic divination techniques. This is a one day workshop and is essential before undertaking advanced shamanic work.
Workshop Fee
$70.00 for 1 day workshop,
10:00 am - 6:00 pm
Lunch and dinner on your own. You may bring your own or there are many places to eat within a short drive.
The Introductory Workshop or experience in journeying is a pre-requisite for all other workshops.
Power Animals, Symbols and Songs
Symbols help us connect with the unconscious, aid in meditation, and provide personal meaning. A symbol can “speak volumes” instantly thus eliminating the need for words. Sound has a great capacity for healing. Our bodies being an energy mass resonate to the energy of the sounds and songs we create.
This 2 day workshop is designed to expose you to the power provided by symbols and songs/shamanic sound. Experience in the shamanic journey is essential for this workshop.
Workshop Fee

Ceremony, Ritual and Celebration
Ceremonies and rituals are a part of our everyday life. They are a way to create meaning and provide an avenue to find power, comfort, and healing. They bring us closer to others as well as ourselves. This workshop is designed to support the creation of personal ceremonies and rituals that allow us to deepen our connection to self, others, and the planet. We will examine how to incorporate sacred personal ceremony into our daily spiritual practice.

Exploring Nature Spirits and Helpers
This 2 day workshop is designed to deepen your connection with the natural world and the spirits living within it. We will explore the elemental spirits (earth, air, fire, and water) and connect with the spirits of the plant and mineral kingdom.
By working with the spirit teachers in nature we follow a long tradition of shamans who used the nature spirits for healing and wisdom. This workshop is designed to support our journey as we learn to respect the natural world on a deeper spiritual level and help restore balance and harmony to our planet.
Much of the work for this workshop is done outside so please be prepared for weather conditions and dress accordingly. This workshop is offered seasonally (summer through fall).

Inviting Your Creative Spirit Out for a Playdate
As human beings, we were born to create. We create almost constantly throughout our day - we create what we’ll look like for the day, we create what we eat for our meals, we create our entertainment, we create schedules - yet many of us believe we are not creative beings.
The focus of this 1 day workshop is to develop a deeper relationship with your creative spirit, to focus on the beauty of who you are creatively, and to have fun!!! Allow yourself to explore your own creative spirit who lives and resides within, 24 hours a day and free yourself of the lies you were told about not being creative.
Workshop Fee
$90.00 includes lunch.
This workshop will be offered on Saturdays and Sundays throughout the year.
The time for the workshop is 11:00am - 5:00pm.
