Walking Between Worlds - Shamanic Healing

Shamanism is the oldest and most natural healing tradition in the world. A shaman uses knowledge and skills gained through journeying into the spirit world to help others. There are many shamanic healing methods from across the globe and this weekend you will experience a selection of approaches.

Over the weekend you will:

¤  learn theory and practise techniques for healing yourself, others and distance healing;

¤  use journeying techniques;

¤  experience altered states of consciousness;

¤  reconnect with your family and ancestors;

¤  gain clarity, insight and understanding about yourself as a healer; and

¤  experience sacred rituals and ceremonies.

The aim of the weekend is to connect your heart to yourself and others, to nature and to spirit to help effect personal healing and change. The gathering will be in a safe, intimate and trusting environment, where you are free to express and share your feelings.
