A Shaman's Path

Introductory Intensive Course

Saturdays 24 May and 21 June 2008

Boscombe Down, near Salisbury, Wiltshire.

Shamanism has a long and powerful ancestry.  If we go back far enough in our family histories we find that we are all descended from shamanic communities from thousands of years ago.  It is a truly tested, simple and practical way to receive help and empowerment in our everyday lives. 

This two day workshop gives you the chance to learn to connect to the power of the Universe using traditional shamanic methods, such as the shamanic ‘journey’.  You can gain insight, help, healing and information about any aspect of your life.  This helps you to move along your path in life with greater ease and filled with greater wholeness and presence, with balanced energy and more power.

You will learn how to connect with your spirit helpers and power animal in a safe and grounded way.  You will ask for spirit help with issues in your life and learn how to use this power in a balanced way that you can use for yourself and for others that ask for your help.  We will use the drum, rattles and song in our explorations.  We also learn to work with the spirits of nature and have the chance to experience a shamanic ceremony in nature on the summer Solstice upon ancient Wiltshire land.

The nature of the small, two day workshop allows you to try what you learn on day one at home and to bring your experiences to the second day in order to make sense of and develop your skills more deeply.  This course prepares you for more in depth courses & ‘drumming groups’ with Joanna and other shamanic practitioners.

The course is also suitable for those with some experience of shamanism and shamanic journeying who wish to deepen their practice.

 Cost:  £55 per day including lunch /£70 per day if only one booked (£20 deposit). 

Time:  10am to 5pm
