Introduction to Shamanic Journeying
December 12 & 13, 2009
This two-day weekend workshop offers an introduction to core shamanism and the ancient practice of shamanic journeying and gives participants tools to develop and advance their own shamanic journeying practice. Participants will learn ways to meet their own individual spirit helpers in nonordinary reality, and how to use the shamanic journey to restore spiritual power and health for themselves, others and the Earth. Facilitated by drumming, they will experience the shamanic state of consciousness, awaken dormant spiritual gifts, and discover how to enter an altered state of consciousness for shamanic divination and healing.
What is shamanism?
Shamanism is a path of knowledge and a process of seeing with the heart for the purpose of accessing spiritual guidance, healing, and information. Shamanism teaches that everything that exists is alive and has a spirit, and that we are spiritually interconnected with all of life and the earth itself. Through shamanic practice, we can reconnect ourselves with nature and its rhythms and seasons, and restore balance and harmony. It has no doctrine or belief system.
What is core shamanism?
Core shamanism is the universal or near-universal principles and practices of shamanism not bound to any specific cultural group or perspective, as originated, researched, and developed by Michael Harner, with whom Eve B. Lee has studied since 1993.

Awakening to Spirit Through the Way of the Horse

May 28-30, 2010
Experience a deeper awareness of yourself, identify your personal roadblocks, and explore areas of bodily tension that inhibit your ability to reach your own true potential as you meet and engage with the Equine Magic Appaloosa herd. Allow your body, mind, and spirit to awaken and move to a new rhythm in our changing world amidst shifting reality.
Through a series of specially designed activities in a group setting, you will receive a boost in self esteem and confidence that comes from learning how to establish boundaries as you engage and direct a thousand pound creature using mental focus, creative visualization and clarity of intent.
Prior experience with horses is not necessary, and all activities with horses are on the ground in this workshop.
Participants will engage in these skills and activities:
- Uncovering messages behind emotions
- Being congruent vs. incongruent
- Identifying False Self and Authentic Self Voices
- Establishing and maintaining clear and consistent personal space
- Using the body as a sensing device to identify emotional and physical states
- Holding sacred space
- Experiencing reflective round pen work with horses
- Understanding the Nine Essential Skills for building authentic community
- An introduction to Svaroopa Yoga to assist the opening of body, mind and spirit.
