Turtle Medicine

Shamanism is about healing and connection to all things – nature, oneself, each other and the Divine/Spirit. The shamanic journey occurs by shifting awareness or consciousness for the purpose of gaining spiritual and healing insight. This is achieved by listening to a drumbeat in a safe and sacred space, surrounded by a supportive community and a responsible teacher and practitioner. The drumbeat used is similar to that of the frequency measured from the earth. Through it, and through shamanic practice, we are all one.

We hold a Shamanic Journey Circle once each month in Denton, Texas. Specific location is provided upon registration.

Soul Fragmentation and Healing
Saturday, December 17 from 6:30-9pm
$20 fee. Please RSVP by December 16.
Shamanic practitioners use the practice of soul retrieval to help clients who have experienced soul fragmentation, soul loss or both. Soul fragmentation occurs when we give ourselves away through dependent relationships, addictions or unhealthy thoughts and patterns. Soul loss can occur when have traumatic experiences. Spend an evening learning how we lose ourselves and how to regain wholeness. Learn about the shamanic healing technique of soul retrieval and how it helps heal soul fragmentation. Explore the state of your own soul or spirit, and meet a new guide who can help you learn to work with soul fragments. Take a journey to meet and connect with your highest self.
If you have not experienced shamanic journeying before, please arrive at 6pm for a brief introduction to shamanic practice.

The Energetics of Self Care
Next class date to be determined.
Do you ever feel drained, worn-out, agitated, or restless after spending time with a certain person or in a certain situation? Do you have a tendency to go and go until you drop? Are you often dealing with small yet consistent aches or pains – including migraines and sinus issues? All of these can result from not caring for oneself energetically.
Join us for an evening of journeying in the Shamanic Middle World, the spiritual aspect of our everyday lives. Through Middle World journeys we will explore our energy connections and learn how to better care for ourselves energetically. We will learn to retrieve energy we have lost and to return energy we have taken.

Introduction to the Shamanic Journey
Next class date to be determined.
This intro class is an empowering experience that provides the foundation for shamanic journeying. Here we learn about the shamanic journey and how shamanism is studied and practiced throughout the world. We journey to find our personal shamanic home base and to meet a Spirit Guide or Teacher in what anthropologist Michael Harner calls “non-ordinary reality.” We will briefly explore the three worlds of the shaman, the elements and the directions on the medicine wheel. We will learn to create sacred space and to build shields to protect our physical, mental, emotional and spirit bodies as we journey.

If you have not experienced shamanic journeying before, please arrive at 6pm for a brief introduction to shamanic practice.

Personal Healing Through the Medicine Wheel
Next class date to be determined.
The Medicine Wheel is a sacred structure with four primary directions and an infinite number of steps in between. In shamanic practice, each direction on the medicine wheel represents one of the four bodies – mental, physical, emotional and spiritual.  Join us for an evening of exploring how to use the medicine wheel for personal healing and empowerment. We will journey to each direction and explore where we are on the wheel at this point in our lives. We will meet wisdom keepers in each direction to help us along the way.
