American shamanism 101: A Sacred Healing Circle Starting Thursday November 11/ 7/13 This will be an ongoing class/course that will be given every Thursday night @ 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM in the Yoga studio, upstairs at Mama. (There will be a cut off at 18-21 students because of space and time constraints) American Shamanism is a Sacred Melting Pot shamanism that has been, and is being, derived from the various practices found in this country as well as those brought to this country from around the world. I, in particular, based my Shamanic practices on years of study from various living and dead shamanic practices/practitioners from around the world, but, because of my personal experience in Eastern Asian practices and Eastern and Western Native American practices, these two are the hub of my wheel of Shamanic practice. This does not mean we will be using the traditional practices of these peoples primarily, but use them as the foundation of all the various Shamanic practices that have come to this country and have been developed in this country over thousands of years. We will begin with discussion, static postures, movement, standing and sitting meditation. We will work together to create our personal dance and song and set a foundation on which to build our power. With Shamanic movement practices, as well as static postures derived from my 30 + years of Chi Gong, internal martial practices, Native American and world power dances, healing dances, physical principals and practices of the Human and Animal kind, we will find our own true ways of expression and become ourselves... not a carbon copy of someone elses Spirit, but your own unique way = the you that you came here to be! Because our practices, in the beginning, will emphasize physical movement & stillness, we will be working simultaneously in finding and incorporating animal totems through this process. We will also work with methods of Soul journeying, power invoking meditations and how to find and utilize your birthright powers of self. These practices will open the doors into many deeper personal practices, journeys and meditations, bringing our human-mind-dream-expressions out into the light of the Spirit of all things... 1Like · · Promote · Share
