Please join us for our monthly Open Shamanic Journeying! Open to everyone, no experience necessary. Connect to your own spirit guides in a community of like-minded spiritual seekers.
 
This event is led by Shamanic Practitioner and Life Force Founder Joan Forest Mage (Eagleheart).
 
In a safe and sacred space, we will call in our helpful spirit guides. Joan will explain the process of the ancient shamanic journey meditation: traveling to the spirit realm to gain wisdom and healing from angels, ancestors, totem animals and other loving spiritual beings.
 
Joan will lead us in an Energetic Protection exercise to prepare us for this spiritual work.Then we all drum and rattle together in the classic shamanic drum beat to travel to the inner planes. Joan will continue drumming and singing as the group completes their journey. Participants will have time to share their experiences and ask questions before we close the session.
 
This session is open to everyone, no previous experience needed. We welcome people who are interested in learning about shamanism and how to do Shamanic Journeying
 
If you have done shamanic journeying previously, this is your chance to practice! 
 
Please wear comfortable clothing to sit or lie down while journeying. You may want to bring a scarf or towel to cover your eyes during the meditation. and  a notebook and pen to record your impressions after your journey.

Please note that we connect to the spirit realm through meditation and the visual and performing arts; our practice does not use plant spirit medicine.
