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 4: Divination: what it is, how shamans use divination, and partnering up to perform divination with partners. One participant will be given the opportunity to work through grief and loss in the spirit boat where all participants will form a boat, invite their power animals in to help someone work through the passing of a friend or a loved one. Please bring a towel or mat to sit on.
