Shamanism and Personal Transformation™

Shamanism has much to offer those seeking personal knowledge and emotional and spiritual maturity. Shamanism & Personal Transformation teaches us how to work with our spirit helpers and in ordinary reality to transform personal attitudes, emotions, and blocks to living a fulfilled and inspired life. Exercises are provided to help participants see and move beyond personal limitations to a centered and compassionate state of being. In so doing, we bring these qualities into the world to the benefit and ultimate transformation of our Earth and its inhabitants.

This workshop offers practical methods to gain and apply wisdom from the spirits to your personal life:

  • Reconnect with your soul's purpose and discover your role in the larger context of our world
  • Practice applying shamanic divination/journeying methods to personal issues using a standard problem-solving process
  • Uncover personal attitudes and emotions that block and limit personal growth and wholeness
  • Use shamanic divination to discover how to move beyond your limitations to live a compassionate and transformative life

NOTE: Participants must be able to successfully journey to contact at least one helping spirit from the Upper or Lower Worlds.
