About the Two-Day Class
Shamanic Journeying steps you into an expanded state of consciousness. You are able to identify physical sensation, tune-in to your inner senses, connect with the Earth and Cosmos, and honor the intelligence of your soul. If you are one who has found it challenging to enter into a meditative state, you many find this method easier because it doesn’t require you to quiet or empty your mind. It acknowledges that your mind is a legitimate and valuable asset of applying imagery as a way to experience other realms.
Day 1
We begin our first day together introducing ourselves and mentioning our personal draw to this intensive masterclass. Then we’ll consecrating our space. We’ll call in the energies of The Four Directions to witness, assist and support our work.
In the first Journey, you’ll meet your spiritual parents—Mother Earth and Father Sky—and connect with your spiritual DNA. You’ll begin a new personal relationship with the powerful beings who co-created you – a bond that strengthens both body and soul.
The second Journey is a traditional Cherokee Journey that lays the foundation for the process of Journeying, itself. Its purpose is to reacquaint you with the innocence of a child’s imagination so that you can allow yourself to be transported into shamanic realms and realities.
Day 2
We will broaden the scope of the previous day’s skills. You will once again enter into non-ordinary states of awareness and Travel On The River Of Time to a place specifically created for healing and integrating unresolved past experiences.
As we Journey through the weekend, my team of Guides may suggest additional organically inspired Journeys to support the unique energies of the group assembled in our sacred space.
This weekend experience is designed to be welcoming for beginners, as well as deeply nourishing for experienced meditators. Each journey is clearly guided and there is no expectation to “do it right.” Subtle experiences are just as meaningful as vivid ones.
No prior shamanic or meditation experience is required—only openness and willingness.
