WORKSHOPS

INTRODUCTION TO SHAMANISM

Saturday, February 21st from 10:00 AM - 5:30 PM

Shamanism is the most time-tested mind/body healing method that we know of today dating back at least 40,000 years and was practiced on all five continents. Shamanism is not a religion. It’s a worldview and way of life that recognizes the interconnectedness of all things and can even complement other religious practices as it reconnects us to our inherent ability to commune with the presence of Spirit in the world around us. Additionally, a core aspect of shamanism is the understanding that reality extends beyond the physical world and that we each have the ability to explore these spiritual realms for guidance, healing and deeper wisdom.

This full-day experiential, interactive and participatory workshop offers the opportunity to discover ancient ways to engage with the spirit realms and begin developing a personal practice that supports insight, wellbeing and healing.  Participants will have the opportunity to:

  • Be introduced to the basic principles of cross-cultural core-shamanism

  • Learn and practice ancient healing techniques which can be used for self-healing and on behalf of friends and family

  • Experience ways to interact and communicate with Spirit through Nature

  • Discover methods to deepen your working relationship with your spirit helpers and teachers

  • Learn and practice Nature divination techniques used to gain wisdom, insight and guidance for self and others

  • Broaden skills in ‘shamanic journeying’, a visionary method used to access the support of our spirit allies 

*Taking at least one Shamanic Journeying for Beginners Class beforehand is recommended for basic journey experience but NOT required

Classes

Shamanic Journeying

This class is for people who are new to or returning to shamanic journeying. We each have the inherent capability to personally connect with a divine support system which is available to us at all times. The shamanic journey is one of the ways we can access our spiritual guidance through direct revelation and has been an empowering practice relied upon for 40,000 years. During a shamanic journey, drumming is used to help shift you into a trance state where you can meet your compassionate helping spirits and ask to receive guidance, wisdom and healing. Together, we will learn about our gates of perception and explore a variety of exercises designed to support the strengthening of journey skills while expanding the horizon of possibility. Classes are held at The Center.Sound.Mind.Body in Frederick, MD and Hagerstown Holistic Wellness in Hagerstown, MD.

Shamanic Trance Dance

Our ancestors danced. They danced in gratitude. They danced in prayer. Within their shamanic cultures they danced ceremonially with the purpose of connecting with their ancestors, spirit guides, power animals and Great Spirit. They danced to receive visions, wisdom, healing, strength, and guidance. This connection is still available to us by going within just as our ancestors did. Today’s dance rituals are still an ancient practice but have evolved to support contemporary times. They are held in sacred space by me as your guide and guardian. This is a dance of empowerment. Participants dance blindfolded to ensure privacy, freedom, and a full experience of going within. We set our intentions for what it is we’re bringing into our lives such as wisdom, healing, change. A brief breathing exercise helps to shift dancers into a trance state while the music supports you in your surrender to the experience. Most of all this is a dance WITHIN yourself. There is space and safety to let go into the freedom of movement, but physical dancing is NOT a requirement.
