"The Call to Power"  

A Shamanic Journey Group

 Practising  Shamanism in daily life

The “Call to Power” gives us the opportunity to deepen our relationship with spirit through the practice of the shamanic journey and enables us to discover our own spiritual power and wisdom.

After having been on courses, we can sometimes find it difficult to continue the practice alone. Many people find it helpful to meet with other people who are also learning, exploring and practising shamanism. Here we can enjoy working together, supporting each other, and celebrating.

Further dates: Feb 26th, Mar 19th, Apr 23rd, May14th, Jun 18th
