Planting the Seed of Shamanism in the West

Friday February 21, 2025 4:00pm - 5:30pm EST

First Floor Salon 3

Feedback Survey

As a working shaman for the over 40 years, I know how difficult it can be to find yourself strangely aware of things that no one else is. Being Chosen by the spirits is difficult, regardless of the culture we are born into, but it helps if there is at least a basic understanding that spirits are real and that some of us are more directly engaged with the spirits. I am currently writing a book by this title, with the intention of providing more of a spiritual context for those in the West who find themselves in this predicament. This workshop will address some of the basic difficulties of becoming a shaman in a non-shamanic/non-animistic culture.

An Open Channel - How Actor Warm-ups Improve Your Readings & Ritual

A great way to start the day - release the spine, free your voice, open up awareness that support clear readings. These practices are also, a great way to finish your day, shake off energies that are not yours, and come back to you.

I have been teaching and using these warm-ups for decades. They are an amalgamation of yoga, Linklater, Reclaiming Witchcraft, and Dell'Arte warm-ups. As the spine is the fiery center of ourselves, knowing how to open up - and close down - are a powerful magical tool you carry with you. Always.

Being "embodied" is quite the catch phrase these days. This is one way to get there.

Why are Sad songs Sad? What song makes you happy? Meditation can unlock many doors within our mind. One of those doors is the realm of Emotion – pure and unfiltered. Through the chording, beats, and language used in song, we are able to bring forth FEELING that we might no otherwise experience. Through a selected list of different songs, many from the 70’s 80’s, and 90’s, let us explore the music and see what kind of focus it can bring to your world. Sound is color for the blind as a Picture is the Sound of silence. Bring an instrument, drum, or a voice to come join in a journey of Meditation in a new way.
