The Basic Workshop in Core Shamanism

During the Basic experiential workshop, participants are introduced to core shamanism, the universal and near-universal basic methods of the shaman to enter non-ordinary reality for problem solving and healing. Particular emphasis is on the classic shamanic journey, one of the most remarkable visionary methods used by humankind to explore the hidden universe otherwise known mainly through myth and dream. Participants are initiated into shamanic journeying, aided by drumming and other techniques for experiencing the shamanic state of consciousness and for awakening dormant spiritual abilities, including connections with Nature.  Practice includes comparisons by participants of their discoveries in shamanic journeys as well as being introduced to shamanic divination and healing. They are also provided with methods for journeying to meet and study with their own individual spirit helpers in non-ordinary reality, a classic step in shamanic practice. Participants learn how the journey is utilized to restore spiritual power and health, and how shamanism can be applied in contemporary daily life to help heal oneself, others, and the Planet. 

Core Shamanism

Core Shamanism is the universal or near-universal principles and practices of shamanism not bound to any specific cultural group or perspective, as originated, researched, and developed by Michael Harner. Since the modern world overwhelmingly lost its shamanic knowledge centuries ago due to religious and political oppression, the programs in Core Shamanism from The Foundation for Shamanic Studies (FSS) are particularly intended for modern persons to reacquire access to their rightful spiritual heritage through quality workshops and training courses. Training in core shamanism includes teaching students to alter their consciousness through classic shamanic non-drug techniques such as repetitive drumming so that they can discover their own hidden spiritual resources, transform their lives, and learn how to help others. 

Please bring with you:

1. A notebook and pens to record your journeys, notes, and experiences.  Shamanism is an oral transmission tradition (electronic equipment, smart phones, iPads, laptops, etc. are not allowed in the seminar room). 
2. For the first morning of the Basic course only (Sat, 8 July): bring a rock/stone larger than a grapefruit or large apple - a rough, angular, or irregular rock is preferred (not crystal or precious stone). 
3. I have rattles for you to borrow, but if you have your own rattles please bring them. A drum is not necessary for this course. 
4. A light cover or shawl should you get cool while laying down for journeys to other worlds.
5. An eye mask, bandana, scarf, or eye cover of some kind.
