The Introduction to Shamanism Days
These one-day workshops run at various times in the year. The day is experiential,
and cover the basics of shamanic practice. People usually find them an eye-opening
experience that opens a rich and amazing world of possibilities. Participants are
shown simple yet profound techniques to enter shamanic reality to reconnect to their
own spirituality. No prior experience is necessary. The day includes...
- the history of shamanism
- the key concepts of the shamanic universe
- how to enter a shamanic ‘journey’
- a power animal retrieval journey
- the basics of how to journey for others
The next Introductory Days are...
Saturday March 6th, Ulverson, Cumbria
April 11th, Lancaster, Lancashire
Saturday July 31st, Dilston Physic Garden, near Corbridge, Northumberland
2nd and 3rd October, two one-day workshops in Kings Langley and North London (venues
to be confirmed)
More days will be offered later in the year. To be kept informed, please contact
me.
Attendance on one of these days enables one to apply for the intermediate and advanced
shamanism courses.
Would you be interested in organising an Introductory Day in your area? If so, here
how this might work for both of us...
- How it happens. You just need to contact me to see if we can sort out a date for
the day. Usually this is a Saturday or Sunday, but weekdays are possible too. You
also need to have some idea of a venue in mind. The venue needs to be big enough
for at least ten people (more is better), and it needs to be quiet and private. We
need quiet in order to not be distracted or disturbed while doing the work, but also,
the drumming can be noisy so we need to be somewhere where we will not disturb other
people.
- What you get for doing it. You get a free place on the Intro day, plus a free place
on the next Intermediate, Advanced or Practitioner weekend of your choice. - that
is a total of 155 pounds-worth of free training. That is dependant on getting enough
bookings for the day to run. The number of people we need depends on the cost of
the venue, plus other factors such as my travel costs etc. But generally a course
needs a minimum of eight paying people to be viable. So you need to think about whether
or not you think you could get this many people.
- What I do. I will: book the venue (I take the risk with the deposit); handle the
bookings; promote the course on the website and with internet advertising; produce
posters and fliers.
- What you need to do. You need to drum up the people in your area. Generally, the
only courses that run are where the local organiser puts some actual work in promoting
the day. That means, telling friends and acquaintances who may be interested, going
around putting up posters and fliers in your area, and sending info to local groups
and individuals in your area (yoga classes, meditation groups, therapists etc).
- Interested? Then please do get in touch. I am particularly interested at the moment
in doing days in the north of England, and the South of Scotland, and possibly the
Midlands.
