welcome
to the shaman circle, a space for shamanic practitioners and the
shamanically curious to explore, honor, and practice shamanic journeying.
both reiki and shamanism move through the 'hollow bone' of the practitioner
to bring information and healing into the world. I find these two
modalities to be extremely complementary to each other, and a joyful
way to connect to source. once a month, we'll meet to practice the
art of shamanic journeying in a safe space, and build strong partnerships
with our helping spirits and allies. everyone is welcome...come
play! |

shamanism is one of the oldest traditions in our human heritage - we two leggeds have had some form of shamanic practice in each of our ancestral cultures on planet earth since time began. in early times, when our ancestors were unsure of what medicine plants to use, where to hunt for game, how to help a sick or injured clanmate heal, or how to work in harmony with the life-giving spirits of nature, a shaman would enter an altered state of consciousness, and journey in non-ordinary reality for information, and healing. shamans served their community by working closely with helping spirits, and keeping their tribes or clans safe, healthy, happy, and connected to the natural world. |

today,
many traditional ways of knowing are being embraced again by contemporary
peoples as a means for healing and wholeness, including shamanism.
in the US, the practice of 'core shamanism' draws on universal shamanic
techniques and ideas. based in core shamanism, the shaman circle offers
a safe, joyful space to explore shamanic journeying and practice.
through listening to shamanic drumming and rattling, we'll enter non-ordinary
reality and explore different shamanic worlds. everyone can learn
to journey, and work with compassionate beings to gain information
about our life paths, insight into our struggles, help solve problems,
and offer healing for all of creation. |

we'll meet for three hours, opening with smudging, calling in the directions and setting sacred space, introductions, a brief description of how to safely journey for beginners. we'll have time for two journeys, and sharing around them for those who want to. we'll close with checking in, honoring and releasing the directions, and blessings. if you have a drum or rattle, please bring one, in addition to an eyecovering (eye pillows, bandannas, cloth) and a snuggly blanket or pillow to create comfortable journeying spaces. $20 donation is lovingly accepted to help cover space costs. |

folks
interested in shamanic practice are always welcome to come and practice
beginning journeys, like how to meet a power animal or helping spirit,
and start building resonance and rapport with allies. as we progress
together over the months, a core group of repeat attendees and more
experienced shamanic practitioners are invited to explore creative,
advanced journeywork. everyone is always welcome to journey on what
medicine they need (of course) and we'll have journey topics, ideas,
and themes to explore at each meeting as well. FOR BEGINNERS: a very basic beginning overview to read before coming to the shaman circle is here. |

shamanic
practice is a profoundly wonderful experience - we have direct access
to helping spirits who love and support us unconditionally. I invite
you to come build relationships with your allies, and connect with
community. love, |
a
payment plan or other agreement is available for those who cannot
afford fees - I strongly believe that the path and education of
a healer should always be attainable. please contact me to explore
this option |

NOTE:
5% of all profit from vibrant reiki is donated to the international
otter survival fund, supporting healing for and education about otters, whose playful and loving spirit enriches all of us. |
