Shamanism and the Spirits of Nature: 14 - 16 June, 2024
Michael Harner’s Shamanism and the Spirits of Nature
Advanced Shamanic Workshop
MAX PARTICIPANTS: 15
From ancient times, shamans have worked with the spirits of nature for healing, survival, and knowledge. By learning from the plants and animals, from the rocks and mountains, from the winds and waters, and from the sun, moon, and stars, shamans helped their peoples live in harmony with the universe, and used nature for divination purposes. In a world now out of balance, the way of the shaman can teach how again to respect nature, our Planet, and its inhabitants at a deep spiritual level. As our ancestors everywhere once knew, our survival depends on the survival of the other species. By working together intensively through shamanic journeys and other spiritual experiences, we will dedicate ourselves to working in both non ordinary and ordinary reality to restore and maintain a living Planet.

We are very fortunate to hold the workshop in this historical site, with original Gothic features and a special power due amongst others, to the presence of ancient trees and fresh spring water. Ian Fleming, Marianne Faithfull and Mike Jagger, spent time there to be inspired by nature and by the spiritual learning that was available in this venue.
