Drum Journey Skills for Guidance, Healing and Transformation
​(Foundation Course Shamanic methods)

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. This is about re-connecting with your True Self, and welcoming it in your life. When you are connected with your deepest Essence, it is easier to be in balance, and step into your joy. 

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 our own relationship  with the Sacred. This is not a religion - but a path to be more connected with all that is. 

After this workshop, you are invited to attend the Drum Journey Circle and the intermediate/advanced courses of the shamanic path.
