The Basic Introductory Workshop - Developed by Michael Harner
This workshop introduces the fundamentals of Core Shamanism, with particular emphasis on the classic shamanic journey. The shamanic journey is a remarkable visionary method used to access nonordinary reality for healing, problem-solving, knowledge, and spiritual power.
Workshop participants are initiated into shamanic journeying, aided by drumming and other traditional techniques, and will learn how to meet and work with their spirit teachers and power animals. The workshop includes a summary of the primary shamanic healing methods, and emphasizes the need for contemporary practitioners of this ancient and powerful spiritual discipline for healing ourselves, others, and our Earth.
