Drum Journey Skills for Guidance, Healing and Transformation
​(Foundation Course Contemporary Shamanism)

This workshop teaches drum journey skills - the ability to switch off your busy left brain and connect to your deeper wisdom, and the wisdom of the universe. Drum journeying enables you to access teaching and healing in the 'non-ordinary reality' - which can help you transform your life in a positive manner, and give you practical guidance for your everyday life; your purpose, your relationships, projects, etc. 

Drum Journeying is very old - its roots are in Shamanic traditions around the world. We will explore the principles and history of Shamanic working, and learn more about how to create a "sacred partnership" with the Spirit World. 

This workshop is required to attend the Drum Journey Circle and the intermediate/advanced courses of the shamanic path.

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.
