Shamanism is the spiritual path of direct revelation. It is a way magic, of animism, spiritualism, healing, service, and deep knowing. Core Shamanism (or neo-shamanism) is a modern approach that learns respectfully from the shared techniques and wisdom found in traditional shamanic cultures. It offers a universal method for connecting with the spirit world, free from specific cultural frameworks. We’ll begin with the “core” of shamanic belief: there is a spirit world, it is full beings of spirit who are our teachers and allies, and it can be accessed by the shaman with a meditative technique known as Journeying. In this workshop, we’ll explore these foundational ideas and introduce the practice of shamanic journeying. No prior experience or ritual tools are required. The ritual journey segment will take place in a softly darkened space, guided by a hand drum.
