FAQs
What happens at a monthly healing circle?
We meet at Windspirit's beautiful loft space in NYC's West Village.
After smudging each participant with sage and rattle,
we sit in circle to introduce ourselves & share intentions for our journey.
We call in the spirits of the Four Directions.
We go on a Power Animal journey for 10-15 minutes.
We share our journeys, receiving the wisdom of circle.
We then take a short break, after which we rejoin circle and choose a partner for a Paired Journey.
Partners eye-gaze for connection, then go on a 10-15 minute Paired Journey together.
We share our journeys, receiving the wisdom of circle.
We close circle, offering love and gratitude to spirit and each other.
We enjoy some food, drink and conversation together afterward.
What if I can't make it to NYC?
Check out our other Regional Circles.... or perform an internet search to see if there's a shamanic practice circle near you. Once you have connected with a Power Animal, you may ask to be invited to our monthly Virtual Circle (via Zoom). Just send us an email.
Can you teach me to become a shaman?
We pass on basic shamanic practices, as informed by the work of Michael Harner, which are the birthright of every child of Mother Earth. Only spirit determines who becomes a "shaman".
See our page: What are Shamans and Shamanism?
Are drugs involved?
While we acknowledge their efficacy and revere the authority of various plant medicines, ours is a medicine-free practice. We use the drum and the rattle to achieve an Altered State of Consciousness (ASC), allowing us to journey with our full faculties engaged, and so we may recall as much detail of our journeys as possible.
This also makes our practice readily accessible to everyone.
Is this practice cultural appropriation?
Shamanistas find our own way to honor and invoke spirit, through modalities which are informed by ancient wisdom and found in every early human culture. These basic practices, as described by Michael Harner (as well as many other anthropologists and spiritual historians of note), are global in their prevalence. While we accept the blessing of gifted artifacts and modalities from indigenous practitioners, we don't appropriate any specific ceremonies, songs or ritual paraphernalia of indigenous cultures without their personal guidance and permission.
