The Way of the Shaman Basic (In-person)

This course initiates participants into shamanism and shamanic journeying. Drumming and other techniques are used to help students enter into the shamanic state of consciousness to awaken dormant spiritual abilities and to connect with wise and powerful helping spirits.
