Shamanic Journeys
"Nowadays, in non-indigenous cultures, shamanism is studied and practiced as a life path. Following a shamanistic perspective, individuals seek to be in relationship with the spirit in all things. They seek to use information and guidance from non-ordinary reality to intentionally form their own life experience. This perspective is not inherently contradictory of any religious practice that allows a person to be in direct relationship with whatever they perceive as a higher power."
- The Center for Spirituality and Healing at the University of Minnesota

- Teens and adults are welcome to join us as we drop inside to listen to the wisdom of the drum, the voice, and the community.
As your guide, I will use my voice, drum, rattle, sound healing bowl, and reiki to assist you in your process. And you are invited to co-create with me! You are welcome to bring your drum (if you desire), and follow my lead with drum and voice. You are also welcome to simply bathe in the sound vibrations while laying down.
Vibration is the foundation of all things, and as we open into this safe container, we often feel held by the sound. Together we create a sacred, safe, and respectful space that honors the profound, transformative energies that move through each of us. At the beginning of each session, we welcome the presence of our guides, ancestors, and all those beings that are here to assist us. Their grace helps us move safely through those energies that no longer serve us, so that we can move into a deeper connection with the wholeness that is our true guide, that eternal presence within us. We then spend about 30 to 45 minutes drumming and chanting. Followed by guided meditation, journaling, and sharing with others.
