Join Maxine Smillie, Shamanic Life for the 2 day workshop 'Introduction to Shamanism: connecting to our Heart, deepening to the Soul'.
What is Shamanism ?
Shamanism is a time-tested system for gaining clarity on pressing concerns, healing the Self, the community and our planet. This is a living, evolving nature based practice.
It can be traced back through time to the period of our earliest ancestors and this 100,000 year old practice is seeing a resurgence. Shamanism allows us to access a state of awareness in which we can feel and be informed by Spirit and perceive the interconnection with each other and the greater universe.
What is a Shamanic Journey?
Shamanism re-connects us to our oneness with everything. But how do we access this elusive state of mystical awareness? Through the Shamanic Journey…..
For many the Shamanic journey brings about a sense of joy – the joy of coming home. It offers a body of practical methods which enable us to connect with and thereby express our own spirit. We can rediscover our own spiritual authority; through communing with ancestral spirit teachers in non-ordinary reality who come to offer us guidance, support and love. Our spirit help may come in the form of an animal, a human, a known figure, a plant or loved one.
“We live in times of challenge and change within ourselves, our families, our aspirations, local issues and global problems. Many of us struggle to make sense of these challenges and in that struggle find ourselves pushed towards an exploration of our ‘Spiritual side’ knowing intuitively that in this exploration we may receive guidance and answers to questions that we carry. But where do we start?”
Aims of 'Introduction to Shamanism' Workshop
The aim in this workshop is to offer an introduction to the Shamanic Journey; exploring with safety and support. We will work with the drum, our voices, modern technology and various movement techniques to experience leaving this ordinary reality, journeying to non-ordinary reality and then returning to ordinary reality.
On our first day we will learn how to journey for ourselves.
Our second day will will be about journeying for community and the land.
