For 17 years, I've led an ebullient winter solstice ceremony with scores of drummers, singers, musicians and ritual makers, creating a wondrous ceremony for cleansing emotional and energetic heaviness and opening new vision. People need this deep healing work now more than ever, but the pandemic makes it impossible to gather together in a large group as we have in the past.
So, I'm offering this three-week experience that will directly teach you the beautiful shamanic ideas and practices to help you make the solstice season a deeply sacred experience, and will give you lifelong skills to apply throughout the year. The class will involve storytelling plus meditations and shamanic journey work, both ion class and to do between classes.
You will work deeply with two powerful figures:
You will have some homework between classes - prayers, songs, meditations and shamanic journeys. If you are not experienced with shamanic journeying, don't worry. (If you want a solid brief overview, check out my brief guide to journeying to help you).

You will work deeply with two powerful figures:
- The Old Bone Mother of the Celtic world, who comes to help us remove old energies that weigh us down
- and the Reindeer Spirit - the loving mother during hard times, sustainer of life, abundance-bringer, protector and retriever of our indigenous soul, and bringer of the New Light for New Life.
- But these are more than mythic figures - they are also energies and spirit guides that you can work with and integrate into your spiritual life. They will help protect, inform and empower you as you navigate this big initiatory time that we are all in.

"I journeyed to the heart of the reindeer and found OVERWHELMING acceptance and love. I never expected such a tender encounter with the reindeer goddess or that I would cleave to her so completely. The Reindeer Goddess training changed my life radically. I can't thank you enough, Jaime, for so masterfully leading us through this initiation into Mystery." -PF
"This was a powerful initiatory experience for me. I always feel a deep void at this dark time of year, and this experience filled that void with celebration, community and meaning." -LS
In these hard times, I'm trying to make my teaching as accessible as I can, with various payment levels
