Shamanism 101 An Introduction to the Ancient Art of Communication via Ecstatic Trance with Dr. Janet Piedilato
While the word shaman and term shamanism are often limited to indigenous tribes first discovered around the fifteenth century in Siberia, hints of shamanism can be found in ancient caves of prehistoric humans, indicating a deep heritage for all humanity. Thus, we ask the question: What of shamanism can we, modern seekers, embrace in service of our journey towards healing? In seeking the answer, we hope to expand our understanding of life and our incarnational role by embracing the shamanic technique of altered consciousness, awakening us to the world beyond the seen, empowering us on our way to remember our true nature. .In this three-hour session we will embrace the powerful process of shamanic journeying, respecting yet moving beyond the individual tribal beliefs and dogmas, to enter the shamanic ecstatic trance state, experiencing an opening of the inner path toward healing and wholeness.
No previous experience is needed.

The Journey Within commits itself to the development of our children as vital to the future of Spiritualism and strong leaders, dreamers and visionaries of the future. If we can be of help with your children please speak with Minister Janet Nohavec. Children are welcome at all services, we do appreciate your respect for the reasonable quiet during healing and meditation. Children are always welcome to sit with a healer during service.
