The Totemic Body of the Shaman

This workshop is intended for individuals who have an interest in exploring the enstatic aspects of shamanism.

Participants will be introduced to the importance of the enstatic features of shamanism. This is done through:
*Teaching the relationship between enstatic and ecstatic shamanism and,
*Doing various experiential activities that allow participants to be more deeply connected with the powers within the body.
*Employing different ways to journey or enter trance states

Much of current shamanic practice focuses on building relationships with the powers without….whether in the ordinary or nonordinary realities. In this respect, the potential healing and evolutionary powers, with which we come to planet Earth, are not fully appreciated and less attention is given to nourishing these powers. This contributes to the potential development of a contemporary shamanic culture that shifts the ability’to heal to the specialized shaman and diminishes the potential for self-healing. Both types of healing have a place in human development. This workshop is intended to bring more balance to our shamanic paradigms of healing.
Such powers within include the individual animals that assisted in our birthing and animals that have left knowledge of themselves within our bodies. From this special knowing, we can move, feel, speak, and manifest with our unique selves on this planet.
Just as the great Totemic Poles of the Northwest, and other places, recognize certain Animal Beings as guardians of the community, clan, and family, so too do individual totem poles honor those Beings that are unique to an individual. During this weekend, we will be discovering and constructing our own individual totem selves. We may find that animals with whom we have sensed some mysterious familiarity are actually those very ones that have left this signature of themselves within us.
Very different ways for journeying will be introduced since the goal of this workshop is to discover the Beings Within rather than journeying to go beyond the body of the self. These methods will assist us to go within and experience our bodies while journeying.
Participants can be expected to gain an expanded understanding of shamanism, an awareness of totemic beings with whom they have relationship; and alternative ways of connecting with Powers.

this will be posted at the end of February.
