Indigenous Medicine is one of the most ancient Paths known and traversed by humanity for the acquisition of wisdom, knowledge and healing for one’s community, nation, planet and self. Via the vehicles of Indigenous song, movement, Prayer and music, we journey to and explore landscapes and Sacred geographies that Medicine People from diverse cultures have frequented for millennia. Undertaken with specific intent and purpose, we encounter and acquaint ourselves with the Spirits and powerful denizens of these realms- our Allies, Benefactors and Guardians – to learn and partake of the Medicine they have to offer. It is an experience steeped in Spirit, Mystery and Magic, presented in a Traditional manner and provides the foundation upon which to embark on the Path. Additionally, we will address the importance and necessity of decolonizing modern “shamanism” and protecting Sacred Plant Medicines.
No prerequisites – everyone welcome.
In this intensive participants will receive:
An understanding of various indigenous relationships to Ancestral Realms
Instruction in the mechanics of effective Journeying (without Sacred Plant Medicines)
Direct contact and introduction to one’s Helping Spirits & Ancestors
An appreciation of the requirements and responsibilities to become a Traditional Healer/Medicine person
Tools to become an ally in decolonizing modern “shamanism” & protecting Sacred Plant Medicines
