Shamandome's Great Global Gifting Gala
ended in January of 2022.
This page is visible only for reference.


Shamandome campers and circle family members around the world are gifting us products, services and interesting items of value to create an Online Auction (like a Silent Auction, but online), culminating in a weekend of getting together with each other and our supporters - in person and online - to present their gifts.

The Online Auction HAS BEEN EXTENDED, THROUGH THURSDAY 1/20.
Most gift presentations will be made between Friday, 1/21 through Sunday, 1/23.

HOW IT WORKS:

Each gift (product, service or item) has been assigned a Lot number.

FIRST:
Look through all the gifts on this page, and note the Lot numbers you're interested in.
(Browse the entire list of contributions and write your favorites down, create a spreadsheet, whatever works!)

THEN:
Once a day during the auction period, from 12 noon to 10pm EST, you may open an Online Bidding Sheet where you may bid on one or more Lot numbers.
ONLY open a Bidding Sheet after you've made your own list of the Lot numbers you want to bid on.

Once you open a Bidding Sheet, you must enter all your bids; if you leave the bidding site or click "Done", you cannot go back. You will need to wait until the next day's Bidding Sheet opens to enter any more bids.

At the end of each day, the highest bid so far for each Lot number will be posted on this page by Midnight EST.

A new bidding link will be posted here by 12 Noon EST each day of the online auction.
Bidding Sheet link for Thursday Jan 20th is:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WGDWBDG

Final bids must be entered by 10pm EST on Thursday, January 20th.
(If there's a tie for the final highest bid for any gift, a live auction between tying bidders will be held on Zoom asap.)

Successful bids will be notified via the email address provided by the bidder, and the final bids will be posted, along with the winning bidder's name (with permission), on this page.

THEN, THE FUN REALLY BEGINS
From Friday the 21st through Sunday the 16th, highest bidders will meet, either in person or virtually, with the Contributor who donated their gifts, to receive them.

All proceeds will go directly to Shamandome Camp, to support its work in Black Rock City in
2022:    http://www.shamandome.org/our-camp.html
If an item requires more than $5 in shipping, please be prepared to reimburse the Contributor.

Thank you to all our Contributors and Bidders for your gifts of support!

This page has been updated to show

 as of Wednesday, 1/19

Today is your last chance to raise any of your bids.

Shamanista is a term coined in the seminars of Dr. Barnaby Ruhe to denote a contemporary practitioner and/or follower of shamanism who incorporates a sense of freedom in a variety of healing modalities in a positive relationship that respects ancient traditions. Shamanista is what happens when we as individuals take the initiative to combine our art and expression with our concept of healing and transformation -- in practice and in our everyday lives.

"Shamanista since August of 2018.
The experience of being part of the Shamandome was an amazing fulfillment of what Spirit was guiding me into.  It was the Nova of opening my sleeping gifts that needed to happen for this path to progress.  From that baby step, the push to figure out how to make spirit Gateways named “Wakan Drums” was heard.  Many have been helped into and along their spiritual path.  From that baby step connections to my tribes on both sides of the veil occurred and continue to grow.  Shamandome was the Nova which shown light upon my path."

I am contributing one hand made Wakan Drum with Deer hide, 12 inch diameter.
This is a Wakan Drum I just finished creating this month. The presentation would be to hold a simple ceremony in which I will open space and ask that the new drum keeper’s tribe and others be introduced. Any questions I will be happy to address as well as any other one regarding how the drums work, how to care for them etc.
