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.

Sacramento Lodging And Meal Options
Sacramento has been called a snapshot of Wild West history in a modern, world-class city. Peacefully located in a leafy valley of scenic rivers and canopies of trees, today's Sacramento is a cosmopolitan convergence of tall, gleaming buildings, rambling Victorians, many great restaurants and shops, and a vibrant arts scene. Our group room for this workshop is located in the Sierra 2 Center for the Arts and Community. Sierra 2 is located on three lushly landscaped acres in the beautiful Curtis Park neighborhood, within easy reach of midtown and downtown Sacramento. Sierra Green, a neighborhood park, is adjacent to the Center.
A full coffee and tea service will be provided on our morning and afternoon breaks.
