Magic–illusion–shape shifting–cures are part and parcel of the ancient Shaman’s bag of mystical tricks. Indigenous tribes throughout history relied on
Shamanism to enter non-ordinary reality, obtain hidden knowledge, answer personal questions and contribute to personal and global health. This course explores: Shamanic ritual; ceremony; totems–animal, mineral, plant, human; Shamanic journeying; and recapitulation as tools for creating a more peaceful existence in an increasingly chaotic world. Lecture, demonstration and active journeying will give the participant a peek into the Shaman’s medicine bag. Material is drawn from the Toltec, Celtic and Native American traditions.
