The Foundation
In this introductory workshop you will learn the foundational skill of shamanism, the shamanic trance journey.
Journeying is the ability to enter into an altered state of consciousness, or shamanic trance, to access the alternate reality of the Otherworld. You will learn to journey to drumbeat and meet your Power Animal, or Animal Guide. You will find out how to connect with this guide later on your own to gain insight into important life issues and receive suggestions for living an animistic life in Right Relationship so you can return your life to balance.
