How can we keep sacred knowledge alive?
How can we "know" the old ways? Shamanic practices remain with us after more than 30, 000 years because they continue to satisfy our need for an experience of the sacred, just as they continue to offer us successful approaches to health and healing.
Shamanic healing can contribute to greater wholeness and fuller functioning on all levels of being, and in a wide variety of situations. Shamanism is not an exclusively Eastern or Western tradition. It is simply our common human tradition; it is where we all come from. Core perceptions and practices exist historically and cross-culturally. Groups of people separated by tens of thousands of miles, and spanning many different epochs exhibit similar, and often, identical healing methods.
My approaches include soul retrieval, power animal retrieval, extraction, psychopomp work, song doctoring and drum doctoring and more........
In circle I offer initiation into shamanic journeying, and an orientation to Sandra Ingerman's Medicine For The Earth Work which I call Becoming The Medicine.
Other full days of circle work include Death, Dying And Beyond, Path Of The Soul, Illness: An Exploration Of Your Illness From A Spiritual Perspective, and Dancing With The Archetypes: A Shamanic Excursion.
I offer the Sound and Healing of an Inspirited Drum otherwise know as Drum Doctoring.
Ongoing gatherings of the Medicine For The Earth Work are scheduled monthly, and have been meeting for 6 years.
An ongoing journeying circle for the community meets monthly.
I also offer presentations, "Shamanism: A Worldview, Approaches To Healing Ourselves and the Environment."
And.........I now offer a full day of Joanna Macy's The Work That Reconnects most months.
In March of 2010 I'm beginning to offer the Pachamama Alliance's Awakening The Dreamer Changing The Dream Symposium. www.awakeningthedreamer.org
All of my work can be arranged at a location of your choice with a group of your choice.
