Taster Seminar: Exploring Core Shamanism.

Core Shamanism (sometimes called classic, urban or universal shamanism) provides a set of tools and practices that help us move from our everyday perception of reality to a deeper and more intuitive way of perceiving. When we explore 'non-ordinary reality' - as opposed to the reality we can see, hear and touch with our senses - we can connect to our essence and access new sources of insights, wisdom, inner strength and transformative energy.

If you are not sure whether you would like to engage with shamanic tools and processes in our Foundation Course; this short seminar might be just right for you.
It will give you an overview of the history and the contemporary use of shamanism, and you will do some practical work as well: Learning an easy and safe way of 'journeying' to the drum, and either connecting to your power animal or receiving another useful tool for your path.

This workshop will not qualify you to attend the drum circle or the advanced shamanic courses that require fluent journey skills; for this, you would need to attend the longer Foundation Course.

If you decide to attend the Foundation Course after the Taster Seminar, you will receive a discount of 20£ for the Foundation Course.

This workshop is part of the Series:

Shamanic Pathways for Every Day

Learning shamanic skills and walking the path of the Medicine Wheel will give you direct access to the wisdom of the universe, the sacred aspects in everything and the essence in yourself. These practices will develop your ability to find guidance, healing and transformation power in your unique way.

For the advanced workshops in this area, you must have good shamanic journey skills and a solid relationship to at least one power animal or spirit guide. You can gain these skills in the basic workshop described below, or you can talk to me about other pre-work you did.
