Each participant will have ample opportunity to develop and deepen his or her relationship to the spirit world, the source of shamanic power. On this course participants will work creatively and practically within a shamanic framework, expressing the experiences of the journey through painting, poetry, decoration, song and dance. Participants will learn how to let power from the spirit world take form in the material world, how to put spirit power into power objects and how to use them in their work. No previous artistic experience is necessary for this course. All materials are included in the course price.
Death is part of life.
One of the Shaman's important jobs traditionally is helping people who are close to death, and helping them after their death to move on to the World of the Spirits. In this course participants will learn how to deal with death and dying from a shamanic perspective. The workshop is for those who wish to understand the death process better for themselves, and for those who, either from a professional or personal viewpoint, wish to help others who are facing death. The work includes becoming familiar with the territories where one goes after death, completing unfinished business, using Death as an advisor for living, and helping a person cross the threshold between Life and Death and find the way. In traditional societies around the world, soul-loss is seen as the major cause of much serious illness.
