Basic Shamanic Workshop
Awakening to Crystals and Shamanism
A Journey into Stone Energy & Healing
Focus of the Workshop
Rocks and crystals have been treasured for their beauty and healing energies
since the dawn of time.
For example, spiritual and healing ceremonies incorporating rocks, often
in the form of gemstones,
and crystals were performed by Mayan, Native American Indians, Aztec,
Inca, African, Tibetan, and
Celtic Cultures. In more recent times, the Bible refers to quartz crystals
more than 200 times as well
as a multitude of other rocks in the form of gemstones and crystals.
In similar ways, rocks and crystals can assist in our spiritual journeys.
For example, they bring forth
spirit energies that provide interesting applications in the ordinary
and non-ordinary realities. For
some, the rock and crystal spirit energies can enhance shamanic work
by adding new experiential
dimensions to the ecstatic journey. For others, the rock and crystal
spirit energies provide a new set of
tools to be used in healing practices, such as establishing protective
energy cocoons. At a minimum,
as we learn to awaken the spirit energies of the rocks and crystals,
parts of ourselves will begin to
awaken as well.
What to Expect
This workshop introduces the people to shamanic practices and how these
practices relate to the use
of rocks and crystals. The people will experience different types of
journeys through the use of drums,
rattles, and story-telling. Rocks and crystals will be an integral part
of these experiences as will be
community building through the sharing of experiences. Typically, we
will do eight to ten journeys in
the workshop. Teaching about the stones will be interspersed throughout
the weekend. Generally, it
involves only Saturday and Sunday and does not include any evening work.
Who Should Come
The workshop is designed for people from all walks of life. It is focused
towards expanding the skills
for spiritual explorers, practicing healers, and curious people. Hence,
crystal healers, hands-on
healers, shamanic practitioners, body-workers, and the delightfully inquisitive
can expand their skills
through the use of crystal energies.
What to Bring
Please bring any rocks or crystals that want to come along. A journal
notebook is encouraged as well
as any comforts for sitting on the floor, such as blankets, pillows,
etc. Bring something for a
community potluck lunch.
See the calendar page for current
schedule.
