Sacred Medicine Walk

Upper World
Slow your pace, greet the Spirits present in nature and walk in harmony with our non-

Engage with the wise Spirits of the land. Sit quietly with an old tree, a gentle stream or an ageless rock. See, hear, and feel their message for you. Share what you learned
with others as our day concludes in a circle. Before the walk, Shamanic teacher Cynthia Nado will provide instruction on shamanic journeying. All are welcome!

Please bring drinking water, insect repellent, an eye cover/bandanna and a cushion or blanket to sit upon.

Intro to Shamanism

An in-depth, two-day introductory workshop on Shamanism based on the core principles introduced to Western society by well-known anthropologist Michael Harner.

Participation in this workshop will begin to “thin the veil” between what you see in everyday daily life and what can be seen in other worlds, once you become aware of what has always been with you.

April 28, 2019 9:30 a.m.–5 p.m.

An Update in Shamanism for Today's World:
Carrying Power, Tending the Collective

Picture
In this day together, Cecile and Cynthia will offer explorations with spirit for new ways of journeying, of deeper embodiment of spirit helpers and their power, of working with the sentience of collective fields of energy, and of opening to deeper conversation with nature spirits in everyday encounters.

These are ways to help sustain us in staying clear, balanced, and strong in our troubled world. Many of us are looking toward an indigenous view of non-hierarchical, right relationship with all beings, and for these kinds of tools to integrate in our day-to-day lives.


Please bring an eye cover/bandanna, drum, rattle, and your lunch or $$ to buy lunch.

Instructors: Cecile Carson and Cynthia Nado Date: Saturday, May 11, 2019
Time:
9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Cost: $125 (a
$50 non-refundable deposit is required to hold your space). Limited scholarships are available.
