Call to Power (Shamanism) with Sarah Cunningham

Shamanism is a body of techniques which has been used by humans since before the beginning of recorded history, and which survives in remarkably similar form in every corner of the globe. Shamanic practices are at the root of all religions and spiritual practices. Shamans work with nature, with sound, with dance, among other methods, to enter an altered state of consciousness, to travel to other realms of being, to bring back increased energy, knowledge, and healing.

This intensive weekend introduces some of these ways of working and requires no previous experience. More>>
