The Way of the Shaman
May 7th-8th, 2011
The Garden Retreat
During this experiential workshop, participants are introduced to core shamanism, the universal and
near-universal basic methods of the shaman to enter non-ordinary reality for problem solving, well-being and healing. Particular emphasis is put on the classic shamanic journey, one of the most
remarkable visionary methods used by humans to explore the hidden universe otherwise known mainly through myth and dream. Participants are initiated into shamanic journeying, aided by drumming and
movement techniques, for experiencing the shamanic state of consciousness and for awakening dormant spiritual abilities and connections with Nature.
Practice includes discussion by participants of their discoveries in shamanic journeys as well as work on personal problem solving. Participants are also provided with
methods for journeying to discover and study with their own spiritual teachers in non-ordinary reality, a classic step in shamanic practice. Participants learn how shamanism can be applied in
contemporary daily life to help heal one's self, others and the Planet.
