Course
Description: During this experiential workshop,
participants are introduced to core shamanism,
the universal and near-universal basic methods
of the shaman to enter nonordinary reality for
problem solving and healing. Particular emphasis
is placed on the classic shamanic journey, one
of the most remarkable visionary methods used
by humankind to explore the hidden universe otherwise
known mainly through myth and dream. Participants
are initiated into shamanic journeying, aided
by drumming and other techniques for experiencing
the shamanic state of consciousness and for awakening
dormant spiritual abilities, including connections
with Nature.
Practice
includes comparisons by participants of their
discoveries in shamanic journeys as well as being
introduced to shamanic divination and healing.
Students are also provided with methods to discover,
and study with, their own individual power animals
and spiritual teachers in nonordinary reality,
a classic step in shamanic practice. Participants
learn how the journey is utilized for divination
and to restore spiritual power and health, and
how shamanism can be applied in contemporary daily
life to help heal oneself, others, and the planet.
This
workshop constitutes the prerequisite for more
advanced workshops and training courses with Michael
Harner, Beth Beurkens and the other faculty members
of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies.
