Shamanic Journeying + Sharing Circle in Vancouver, BC
Want to know more about what 'shamanism' is? Want to learn and experience the ancient art of shamanic journeying? Join us to access your own inner knowing. We will step into altered states of consciousness as we connect to spirit guides through journeying and learn about how shamans access personal power to affect change in their world. We will open sacred space, ground ourselves and journey to our inner landscape of deep knowing. After we journey, we will pass a sharing stone to share our inner wisdom with each other. Got a drum or rattle?... bring them + your beautiful self!
Held at Riverside Housing Co-op, 2288 Lower Skipper Place, Vancouver, BC (note, new venue)

Our shores on Gabriola (or anywhere) are not a parking lot! Please say NO to the proposed anchorages! Pacific Pilotage Authority (PPA) is proposing to introduce 5 new anchorage sites for huge freighters off the northeast shore of Gabriola Island. Please sign the petition to stop this proposal and please consider sharing this with others and social media to help make our circle grow... to stand strong to say no... with much gratitude....weaver x (((o))) More about this issue here >>
Hi weaver, Just a quick note to say thank you for all the wonderful words, support, drumming, music, laughter, wisdom and joy. You are a remarkable talent and I sit totally enthralled when you are making music. I also want you to know how safe I feel in the ayllu (community) because of your energy. I feel protected and at peace when you do any of the rites. I have learned a great deal from all of you and am walking an honest path with myself now - something I have not done for a number of years. I have rediscovered the mystery and the joy of living. I am beginning to be creative and some pretty cool stuff is starting to drop off the end of my brushes. It's amazing how the process works. Walk in beauty." - Rick W.

Perhaps a past sacred circle or shamanic workshop that i have offered wasn't the right timing for you. Know that i will offer some sacred circles again - so, check back here on my calendar or subscribe to my mailing list to learn of next offerings...
Or, if you would like me to bring a circle or shamanic training/workshop to your area, please feel free to contact me to discuss logistics and numbers required to make that happen.
