This clinical social worker has trademarked "Psychoshamanic Work(tm)" as her mantle and is offering the following weekend workshop in early March 2019:

Introduction to Shamanic Journeying

Join us for this Two Day Level I Shamanic Training!

Shamans journey with helping spirits to facilitate healing for themselves, for others, and for the planet. Shamanism is a dynamic spiritual path that enables seekers to awaken their innate gifts for perceiving the unseen world. Everyone has helping spirits and can learn to journey to them. This workshop will introduce you to classical shamanic theory and the practical skills of the shamanic journey. You will learn how to access the shamanic realms for information, healing, and blessings.

In this workshop:

~Be introduced foundational theories of classical shamanism.
~Meet benevolent helping spirits who support your growth and wellbeing.
~Learn to journey to the upper, lower, middle, and inner worlds, and other worlds in between.
~Meet your own power animal and learn the art of power animal retrieval to help others connect with their lost power.
Discover you very own place of personal power in non-ordinary reality.
~Gain lots of practice journeying for yourself and on behalf of others, and acquire the skills that will firmly establish your own shamanic spiritual practice.

No experience is necessary to register for this workshop. This course will fulfill the prerequisite for Level II: Intermediate Shamanic Skills Workshops.

This workshop will take place at the charming Lomitas Center in Santa Rosa. Please bring a bag lunch. The Schoolhouse has a fridge, stove, etc. Tea and snacks will be available throughout the day.

Someone in this Facebook event page asked which tradition of shamanism she follows, and her response was "core shamanism." Other events include a "Vision Quest Journey," "Shamanic Ritual and Attunement," a "Shamanic Recapitulation," and so on.
