This is a three part offering. You may wish to come for the whole day, or just part. Please read carefully to select the right option for you.
Intentions For this offering
1) To provide a class for those new to shamanic journeying to learn how to take journeys on your own, without guidance.
2) To hold space for new and seasoned journeyers to connect socially with like minded community.
3) To hold a ceremonial space for new and seasoned journeyers to access live drumming, receive interpretation support if desired, and share their journeying experiences.

Part 1: Learn The Ancient Practice Of Shamanic Journeying, 12:30-4ish
Journeying is an experiential, intuitive, ceremonial practice. You'll receive a good foundation of knowledge to ensure a safe, successful journeying practice, as well as a bit of context and and background on shamanism.
For students wishing to dive deeper in the cognitive learnings of shamanism, I'll share with you a plethora of learning options after class.
There are various schools of thought when it comes to receiving journey interpretation support from external sources, so I'll speak to that briefly, and you'll be able to choose how you wish to be supported in interpreting your journeys during and after class.
I'll guide a journey or two as well.
Part 2: Community Social (And/Or Nature Walk) approximately 4pm-5pm
We'll break for a chance to connect with kindred spirits over tea. Feel feel to bring light snacks for yourself.
For those desiring solitude in nature, I invite you to walk the Unity labyrinth, or hit the nearby trails at the Edna Taylor Conservation Park or Aldo Leopold Nature Center.
Part 3: Group Journeying, approximately 5pm-7:30pm
I’ll drum for multiple journeys, and after each you’ll have time to share about your journey, ask questions, and seek additional insight regarding the messages, symbols and images you received.
These journeys will not be guided, but I'll give you ideas for intentions, should you wish to use them.
a note about parts 2 & 3
This is a perfect time for those that already know how to journey to join us.
I say “approximately” on timing because depending on the class, we could need a little more or less time for Part 1. If you arrive and we’re still in class, help yourself to tea in the lower level cafe.
I highly encourage those taking the class (Part 1) to stick around for at least one of the non-guided journeys offered in Part 3.
BRING:
journal and pen/pencil
water bottle
floor mat, yoga mat, or a blanket to lay on the floor
eye cover- this could be an eye mask, a small towel, washcloth, cloth napkin, etc
Optional: headphones, ideally noise canceling. It’s rare, but some people prefer to journey in silence as opposed to listening to the drum beat
Optional: blanket to cover up with
