Sliding Scale $60 - $95    (Application and Directions)
This introductory, two-part workshop will cover the basics of the shamanic journey method: how to journey, tips for successful journeying, what helping spirits (aka "guardian angels" and "power animals") are, how to travel, how to frame your question or intention, and how to "read" your journey. No experience necessary. Appropriate for beginners as well as intermediate journeyers.

Initiatory Work to Deepen Your Journey Practice

Making Peace with the Dead and with Your Past
October 30, 2010, 1:00-5:00 pm; in Takoma Park, MD
Sliding Scale $30 - $45    (Application and Directions)
This ceremony will provide a powerful container in which you will be able to meditate or "journey" to an ancestor, relative, or other deceased person you know but are still not at peace with to get healing with that relationship at last. This healing helps the past stay in the past and not "bleed" into the present and also opens up new future possibilities.

Liberating Yourself from the Past:
Healing an Ancestral Wound
October 31, 2010, 1:00-4:00 pm; in Takoma Park, MD
Sliding Scale $20 - $40    (Application and Directions)
This ceremony will provide a powerful container in which you will be able to meditate or “journey” about something unhealed you've inherited from your lineage that is still active in you and needs healing, then get guidance on how to heal that wound, addiction, habit, or pattern.

Shamanic Ethics for Practitioners
November 5, 2010, 7:00-9:30 pm; in Takoma Park, MD

Power Dance Ceremony
November 6, 2010, 6:30-9:30 pm, location TBA
Sliding Scale $20 - $40    (Application and Directions)
This ceremony is a deep listening from your stillpoint to see if a helping spirit will give you a song that invokes their presence or power to bring healing for the community or world into the ceremony. Our focus will be on midwifing the paradigm shift from a love of power to the power of love. (Note: Past and future one-year students of the Healers' School will receive advanced credits for this class.)
