This block of instruction will be both informational and interactive. Each day we will go step by step into what shamanism is, shamanic journeying, and acquiring a spirit animal. I will be using rattles, hand drums, and incense. Each session will be based in my experience as well as backed up by my studies and literature. Every participant will be encouraged to enter the circle with vulnerability and be open and honest. No matter what level of learning or understanding all participants will be asked to leave what they know at the door and be open to learn with an open mind and heart, approaching the class with a childlike heart. Day 1: Core Shamanism: Opening Sacred Space in the Nordic Way. What shamanism is and is not. How shamanism has impacted my life. Please bring a towel or mat to sit on.
Step into the hidden magic of nature and discover the unseen world right here at camp! This hands-on, immersive workshop invites you to connect with nature spirits and the Fair Folk who dwell in the quiet corners of the wilderness. We’ll begin our journey by crafting our very own, nature-safe "faerie food." Using natural, wholesome ingredients, you'll learn what the Fae love most and how to prepare offerings with respect and intention. Once our feast is ready, we’ll venture out onto the camp’s hidden trails. Together, we will:
Learn the Art of Seeing: Train your eyes to spot the subtle signs of Fae presence—from mushroom rings to hidden mossy glens.
Practice Eco-Friendly Offerings: Discover how to leave gifts for nature spirits safely, ensuring we respect the local wildlife and environment.
Walk the Invisible Path: Tune into the unique, magical energy of the forest and practice quiet observation.
What to Bring: Comfortable walking shoes, a sense of wonder, and your respect for the wild. All ingredients for the faerie food will be provided. Come ready to explore, create, and step into the magic of the woods!
