The Shamanic Rose

COURSE DESCRIPTION Creativity is so ancient that it is at once fundamental and complex, even a driving force in our lives. Shamanism brings a fresh approach to Westerners for cultivating their creative potential. In this workshop, based on years of research, participants will have the opportunity to enhance their creativity through the practice of shamanic methods. Selected historical and anthropological examples will illustrate connections between shamanism and creative abilities, and a variety of specific shamanic exercises will be taught that participants can apply to their personal lives.

PLEASE BRING: Rattle or a drum if you have one. Wear comfortable layered clothing and warm socks; bring an eye cover, cushion and pad/blanket, a pen and notebook to record your journeys, a sack lunch for each day and drinking water.
