For centuries Shamanic Circles have been a place of gathering to receive communal and personal healing. They continue on today and offer us a way to turn away from the conditioned mind, beliefs, thoughts, and opinions and rest into the wisdom of our hearts, of who and what we are.
Shamanism is a practice of direct revelation. There is no dogma, doctrine, or something to believe in. The practice is all about what you experience and feel, what calls to you, the insights and messages, inner illuminations and guidance you receive as you listen deeply to your heart. |

The world today desperately needs more spaces in which we are encouraged to simply listen and connect with the nature inside and all around us. It's what brings all the chaos into balance. The invitation here is to come as you are and find out what great treasures are revealed when we tune in together to the heartbeat of humanity.
What happens in this gathering?
We come together as a community for our personal and collective healing and well-being. From begin to end, the experience is facilitated by Shira and accompanied by drumming, singing, silence, and music. The spoken words, elicited images, and shared sounds are designed to shift our everyday attention from the mind to the heart. These ancient devices open us to the unseen realms within our being -- our imagination, intuition, soul knowing, and connection to all that is.
In the first phase of the gathering, sacred space is set up by acknowledging our communal intention and helping spirits and guides. Everyone has helping spirits and guides. They may show up in different forms throughout our lives, like a grandparent we have a special bond with, a comforting animal that often appears in our dreams, or an element of nature that soothes us. We often learn who they are and build our relationship with them in Shamanic Circles and journeying.
As we journey together in the second phase of the gathering, our helping spirits and guides direct our experience towards what we need in the present, both individually and collectively. Guided journeying is like listening to the facilitator describe different places, scenes, and images with lots of space for each participant to feel into what shows up for him/her/them. It's a creative and dynamic process and much more than just visualizing a picture.
Some people like to lie down comfortably for a journey or the whole Shamanic Circle. Others start sitting and like to move about or dance during a journey. The shared space is a chance to explore what works for you.
No previous experience is necessary. Perfect for beginners. Any questions or trouble registering? Please contact me.
