Shamanism:
path of empowerment & healing
December 3rd,
2011 Saturday
11am - 5pm in
the Lansing, Grand Ledge area.
Class
is a pre- requisite for all other advanced Shamanic training and workshops
offered. This will be an experiential workshop, based upon the Foundation for Shamanic Studies (www.Shamanism.org) “Core Shamanism” approach (those aspects of Shamanism that were common cross-culturally, and central to all Shamanic practice). You will learn a practice to shift your your brain wave activity into more optimal states for healing. The benefits of one type of brain activity, the alpha brainwave, are the ability to relax and keep the mind on idle when not focused on specific task, heightened feelings of well-being and euphoria, increased creativity, and deep emotional healing. Yet it has been found that 20 % of the population does not engage in alpha brain waves. Also, another benefit of shamanic practice is that it allows us to engage in deep levels of self-healing, particularly on the subconscious level. You will learn methods for journeying to discover, and study with your own individual spiritual teachers in non-ordinary reality, a classic step in shamanic practice. Bring a water bottle, snacks, journal, frame drum or rattle if you have them (I have extras if not!) Please wear comfortable clothing, warm socks, & bring a bandanna or eye cover. Bring rattles/frame drums if you have them. Since often people prefer to journey while lying on the floor, you may want to bring a mat to lie on and a blanket to cover up with.

FEAST for the DEAD
Medicine for the Earth/Lightness
of Being
October, 2011
Medicine for the Earth Cost: $
200 if prepaid by Oct 24th ; $250
if after. In this supportive Shamanic initiation program, we move from within to without, moving beyond self into the ALL. We will start with taking our personal healing even deeper. You will practice deepening your ability to transcend the Ego self and transfigure into the Divine, within the supportive and loving Circle of our group. Using spiritual
methodologies and truths from many traditions (and the work of Sandra Ingerman, with whom we have trained intensively to teach "Medicine for the
Earth")
we will explore manifestation principles, miracles, and transmutation, again
deepening our ability to raise the frequency of your vibration and expand your
being to allow for even higher levels of “light”. We will explore and
experience transfiguration -connecting and merging with the LIGHT that is at
the core of all existence. Finally, we will explore Healing with Spiritual
Light, shining our light and love into the world through service, work,
relationships, and play. Our intention at the end of this series is that everyone has benefitted deeply from the work, as well as many if not all of the group being interested in forming an ongoing active ‘healing community’, for ourselves and others. Supporting development of our spiritual family that supports each of its’ members always, as well as in times of special need; and a spiritual community that shares it’s light with community in ways that are needed.Medicine for the Earth/Lightness of Being Part I: Healing Our Selves (Oct 29th & November 12th) Part II: One with the LIGHT- Raising Vibration (Dec 10 & January 7)
Part III: Heaven on Earth – Healing with Spiritual Light through Service, To register for this workshop, click here.

Spirit Weavers has invited Dr. Tom Cowan, Celtic Shaman, Ph.D. to teach in Michigan over the years. Workshops have included Celtic Shamanism: The Soul ; Faery Doctoring; Celtic Shamanism: The Ancestors, and the Two Year program in Celtic Shamanism. In September, 2011, we are excited to announce that Tom will gather interested Two Year Celtic Shamanism graduates from around the country here in Michigan, for the first of hopefully an annual Gathering. See below for Tom's description of this event.
From Tom Cowan's website (http://www.RiverDrum.com) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`` THE WIND
THAT BLOWS ACROSS THE SEA This retreat for all who have completed the two-year training program in Celtic Shamanism will begin on Thursday evening when we will meet and honor the spirits of our new location and enlist their help in our work. Friday we will spend under Taliesin’s tutelage renewing our own shamanic abilities to connect with the Life Force and Dana energies that flow through all things. We will prepare ourselves to become what Taliesin called “ardent souls that voyage through the clouds” and “defenders of the Cauldron’s fire” so that we might engage the world’s troubles from a position of strength, insight, and ancient wisdom. This will prepare us to apply our shaman-poet skills on Saturday morning to do Shamanism without Borders work. We will select locations for this depending on what disasters occur between now and then. In the afternoon we prepare for the Wild Hunt which will be our evening’s activity. So on Saturday we will have ample opportunities to be the wind that tends and renews the Life Force in the suffering places of the world. On Sunday morning we will complete the post-Wild Hunt activities, assess our work, and prepare to carry our renewed commitment to shamanic practice back to the lands and homes where we live. -------------------------------------------------------- About Pierce Cedar Creek Institute. PCCI is a 661 acre preserve of Mother Earth including glacial moraines and other glacial activity such as the “Little Grand Canyon’ on the property. It has been relatively untouched since the 1950’s, (other than Institute buildings and trail maintenance,etc) with trails, ponds and creeks and mixed habitats, all to ourselves to roam. It has been established under an easement granted by Southwest Michigan Land Conservancy.
The main building is truly beautiful, stone, wood, lots of glass. The auditorium is beautiful for our use. The food is excellent, lodging comfortable, and the staff spectacular. And it is just the right size to become a yearly “home” to this Celtic Gathering!

SPIRITS OF NATURE(cancelled)
with Stephanie Tighe, MSW We will learn about working with the Spirits of Nature for healing and knowledge. By learning from the plants and animals, from the rocks and winds and rivers, from the sun, moon and stars, Shamans helped their peoples live in harmony with the universe. We will focus on learning to communicate with trees and plants, learning from them about the gifts they want to share with us, gifts that can bring healing, can bring peace or joy. Plants that we may be working with include cedar, sweetgrass, lavender, elder flowers (depending on what is ready). Part of what we will be doing is creating a small bundle/fetish to honor the plant spirit that you connect with. We will empower the bundle/fetish and learn how to work with it. We may also be working with the spirit of the stream and wind spirits. Please dress for outside weather as we will be doing a bit of work outside. Please bring a journal and pen and a sack lunch. Tea, coffee and snacks will be provided Pre-requisite
is knowing how to journey using the technique as taught by the Foundation for
Shamanic Studies To register for this workshop, click here.
Shamanism:
path of empowerment & healing -----Cancelled due to weather---- February 26th, 2011 Saturday 11am - 5pm in the Lansing, Grand Ledge area. Class is a pre- requisite for all other advanced Shamanic training and workshops offered. Shamanism is an ancient and powerful spiritual practice utilized throughout history and still today to restore spiritual and physical health and obtain self-knowledge. The Shamanic Journey has been called one of the “most remarkable visionary methods used by humankind to explore the hidden universe otherwise known mainly through myth and dream”. Groundbreaking work in fields such as the 'new biology', quantum physics, and alternative medicine are validating what shamans and other wise spiritual healers knew and practiced thousands of years ago. We know that the mind/body/spirit connection is of vital importance not only in helping us to heal from illness, but beyond that, to truly 'thrive' and live in a state of 'wellness'. This will be an experiential workshop, based upon the Foundation for Shamanic Studies (www.Shamanism.org) “Core Shamanism” approach (those aspects of Shamanism that were common cross-culturally, and central to all Shamanic practice). You will learn a practice to shift your your brain wave activity into more optimal states for healing.
