The Introductory Online Workshop
This introductory online workshop in shamanism is based on the classic work of anthropologist Michael Harner. The workshop introduces Core Shamanism, a powerful methodology consisting of the common and universal features of shamanism that are not culturally-specific. The online format of the workshop is convenient, accessible, and effective.
The workshop focuses on the shamanic journey: a remarkable visionary practice used to access nonordinary reality for healing, problem solving, obtaining knowledge, and building spiritual power. Aided by shamanic drumming, a safe and effective means of altering consciousness, workshop participants will embark on shamanic journeys to explore other worlds and meet compassionate helping spirit teachers and power animals.
