Weekend Shamanic Retreat: Gathering Your Power
November 15-18 / Thursday 6 PM - Sunday noon (4 spots left , shared rooms, bunkbeds)

All of life is a bid for power. To walk the shamanic path is to make progressive, sequential bids for the next kind and level of power. Power means skill, confidence, awareness, connection to Spirit, openness, balance, protection. As we enter into the winter, and the direction north on the wheel, this weekend will offer you ideas and practices for gathering personal power. The weekend culminates with a personal healing and empowering session. We work with ideas and practices from the Celtic world primarily, but also Peruvian world. ​Questions?
