3rd Annual Shamans' Walk & Healing Circle
this year's intent and inspiration is ...
...WE are the ones we've been waiting for...
also community networking & Shamans' Bazaar

Saturday July 31st from 10:30am - 4:30pm
(note: new time!)
Cost $40 preregistered by July 27th/ $50 afterwards and at door
Shamans' Bazaar starts at 12 noon

Location:  Michigan Nature Conservancy, Bath, MI http://www.miwildlife.org

Background: 

*Open to experienced Shamanic practitioners -no newcomers for this event. Contact us with questions.

We first experienced the Shaman’s Walk years ago with Canadian friends in Windsor, Canada & Brenda Atkinson, who initiated this event. We attended several Shaman's Walks over the 'border' and always found them to be a powerful personal and community event!

Now, we are celebrating our 3rd annual walk in mid-Michigan for the shamanic community near and far!  

With this "Walk", we step up to our responsibilities as people of Spirit, who recognize our Oneness, and who embrace the idea that

  "We are the ones we have been waiting for..."

So as the "Black Eyed Peas"  sing.... "Let's get in ON! Let's start it up!...."

Come join us to re-commit ourselves to being all we can be, to 'DREAM the Good Dream', honor and protect Mother Earth and ALL Life, and to celebrate our connection to each other and all things with intense drumming, dancing, journeying, sharing and networking. 

You are welcome to come with an open heart and a desire to experience the ecstasy of a large Shamanic Community.
