Find Your Power Animal
(Prerequisite for Extraction and Soul Retrieval Workshops)
A simple drum beat can put a person into a shamanic, Altered State of Consciousness (ALC), wherein body, mind, heart, and spirit integrate, promoting a healing transformation. (While we honor and revere the authority of plant medicines, our practice uses only the sound of the drum and the rattle to achieve ALC, as is the tradition in most shamanic practices globally.) Shamandome circle leaders lead our guests (who we refer to as clients, to establish a professional relationship) on a journey to the Lower World, to awaken a connection with their most important spirit guide, usually manifesting in the Lower World as an animal. They may ask this Power Animal for transformation, healing, or guidance. The basic Power Animal journey will usually be followed immediately by a Paired Journey, in the same workshop, as time allows.
Soul Retrieval
Soul parts can split off during and just before trauma, abuse, a car accident, surgery, or a bad break-up. Co-dependency can displace soul parts. In this workshop, you'll go on a shamanic journey and ask your Power Animal to search for a client's lost soul parts. Our circle leaders will teach you how to return them to the client, with tips for incorporating the soul parts back into their life.
Extraction Healing
Again, you'll begin by journeying to connect with your Power Animal. Our circle leaders will instruct you in diagnosing energy blockages in the client's body, and how to remove bad vibes, stuck energy, and negative emotions. We all need a clean out!
Shamandome and Guest Healers specializing in other modalities may offer workshops in non-shamanic modalities, such as entheogen and/or therapies describing the use of psychedelics, kundalini awakening, breathing techniques, mind-body connection, metaphysics, and other energy practices.
We usually post our full schedule just before we leave for Build Week.
Check our Schedule and Events page in mid-August.
