Upcoming Events:

Shamanic Journeying - The Short Course
with Gary and Debbie Gent @ Shamanic Connection in Phoenix
July 9 & 10, 2008| 6:30pm - 9:30pm

Since men and women have inhabited Mother Earth, people have had the special ability to move into the unseen worlds around them, to JOURNEY inward to obtain advice and knowledge. This form of information retrieval and inner consultation can be easily adapted for use in the context of today's world. This playshop will guide you to re-awaken these ancient skills to access the wisdom and support that lies within. The playshop will cover basic shamanic journey techniques, re-connect you with your spiritual guides and teachers, and introduce you to the realms of the shamanic cosmology. Attendance at both nights is required.
Energy Exchange $115 (includes shamanic drumming CD).

Come spend an afternoon, creating the bones of your rattle. We will begin with a creative visualization to find the vision of your rattle. Rattles will be made from elk or buffalo hide.

Exploring Your Earth Chakra
Mount Laurel, NJ (private residence -directions provided on registration)
Sunday, September 7, 2008 | 10am-5pm

Shamanism is more than just a skill or technique; it is a way of life, a way of life in connection with all our relations, whether they are Spirit, plant, animal or mineral. But, to live in the energetic connection with all things, we must first know ourselves.

In this experiential playshop you will explore and expand your Earth Chakra that is stored deep within Mother Earth and bring this energy into your conscious awareness. You will connect with this chakra center and subtle bodies opening and expanding your energy field, which allows Spirit to assist you in returning to the center of your power and gaining awareness of your energetic connections with "All of Our Relations". Other activities include shamanic breathing exercises, exploring your energetic boundaries, and chakra alignments to attune your individual energy systems.

In this playshop you will acquire tools which you can easily incorporate into your life for pleasure, growth and healing.

Energy Exchange: $150
