Description

This group will help to deepen our shamanic journey practices. In this group, we will actively participate in shamanic journeying. Shamanic journeying is a technique of traveling into the spiritual realms with the aid of our companion spirits. This group will help to deepen our shamanic journey practices, cultivate enduring bonds with our companion spirits, work on personal and collective healing, strengthen our connection to the divine, and radiate our sacred light into the cosmos. This group is rooted in the practices of shamanism, an animistic spiritual practice. Within animism, spirits exist in both the physical realms and spirit realms. In shamanism, these spirits are living powerful beings (called helping spirits), who can be called upon and worked with during shamanic healing sessions and shamanic journeying. Shamanic healing comes from the helping spirits moving through the body of the person working with them. A shamanic blessing altar will be created for the event. Blessing of the body and clearing the energy of circle members with sacred herbs (juniper wood) will occur at the start of the circle before the journeys. This will involve gently running wood with smoke 3-5 inches over the body. Smokeless blessings can also be used if you have sensitivity, such as using rose water spray or rattling or performing a drum wash over the body. This circle is a sacred and loving space, open to everyone. Each month we will perform different journeys: spirit animal bonding, working with your helping spirit team, working with your teachers in the upper realm, planting seeds of love, merging with higher self, collective healing, supporting the spirit of the earth and the land, journeys for inner transformation, cosmic journeying, understanding past lives, self-love, healing, purification, shadow work.
