Introduction to Shamanism
Shamanism is an ancient, sacred methodology that is deeply rooted in most cultures around the world. Learning basic skills in Shamanic healing and divination can increase a sense of health, well being, clarity and wholeness.

I would be honored to be your shamanic teacher.
Class highlights include:

~ Meet helping and compassionate spirits and power animals in non-ordinary reality
~ Learn basic divination methods to ask for instruction and support from spirit helpers and power animals in
non-ordinary reality

Event Description:
In a day both restful and energizing, you will view a specially chosen, evocative film, allowing it to bring up the personal things your psyche is ready to reveal to you. The movies are framed with the magic of meditation, music, community, and deft facilitation by BJ Brown. This combination brings the power of the film to a new level, making of it a lucid dream ~ the psyche speaks and is heard. This is experience is unique among self-explorative ventures - it retains a lightness and pleasure in the day, even while deep soul work is being done together.
Talking Circle TBA
Talking Circle ~ An offering for our community
There is no fee for this circle. Contact BJ to reserve your spot. Location provided at that time.

The Talking Circle will be conducted in a traditional way. A talking piece is passed, giving each person the opportunity to speak from the heart. There is no cross talk nor discussion. Compassionate presence, a willingness to listen deeply and to be heard is all that is needed. We are in unpredictable, unprecedented times. Many are experiencing ecological grief, deep bewilderment, anger, confusion...and some are deeply hopeful.
The circle is here for you - a vessel for what wants rise and be expressed.

In some situations a soul part or essence is "stolen," or "given away," which creates a fragmentation and a feeling of being lost, not whole.
The following explorations included in this training:
~ Identifying soul loss and how it occurs (diagnosis)
~ Examining different kinds of soul loss (soul stealing, given away, abrupt/spontaneous soul loss).
~ Preliminary Journeys regarding the Soul Retrieval ceremony and connecting with the Spirit Helper who does retrieves the Soul part
