 ince
the dawn of time, humans have danced to the rhythms of their heart
and cycles of nature. Rhythm calls to us from deep within, draws
us into a world of joy, power and magic. TranceDance – spiritual
dance – is deeply rooted in the shamanic and spiritual traditions
of our ancestors.
The Power Animals Workshops explore
communication with Spirit through the shamanic journey and TranceDance
rituals. They focus on Native American and comparative Western
mystical tradition and world views, including power animals and guides,
with the goal to initiate or improve integration between participants'
ordinary lives and awareness of spiritual guidance.
| This special program combines
the two primary workshops - Totem and The
Shadow - into a one-day intensive. Each part may be taken
separately. |
| In this workshop: |
| • |
Learn and practice the shamanic journey process. |
| • |
Learn about the 4 main categories of Power Animals. |
| • |
Identify and encounter your Totem and Shadow Power Animals
to provide the skills and abilities you need now. |
| • |
Learn ways to bring your Totem and Shadow animals to life in
your ordinary living experience. |
| • |
Learn to cultivate the deep and rich relationship this leads
to. |
Power Animals focuses on the shamanic
tradition of communication with Spirit through the medium of spiritual
representatives, such as animals and spirit guides. Participants
have the opportunity to identify and encounter their Power Animal
and to begin or continue the deep and rich relationship this leads
to.
