Introduction to Shamanism
With Robinette Kennedy, PhD
November 4 - 6, 2016
Are you curious about shamanism? If you are on a spiritual path, you have probably heard this word used frequently. But what is it, exactly?
To give you a chance to experience shamanism yourself, Elohee is hosting a weekend retreas with noted shamanic practitioner, Robinette Kennedy, Ph.D.
Shamanism, an Anglicized word commonly used in spiritual circles today, refers to an ancient healing tradition practiced in many of the world’s first cultures. In Central Asia, where the term, samaan, originated, and shamanism has survived for 18,000 years, the word means, ‘one who knows the way’ or ‘one who sees.’
Shamans, or their equivalent, are still active in many cultures, performing various rituals that connect healers with spirit realms in order to restore psycho-spiritual, social and physical balance to individuals, families, communities and anyone needing this service.
One of shamanism’s remarkable characteristics is that, when performed properly, its powerful techniques allow almost anyone to experience reliable, empowering and long-lasting changes in various areas of life.
As someone reared in Western culture, you may have been brainwashed into believing that logic and rational thought are the best way to move through the challenges of every day life. However, you may have your doubts and be drawn to other paths.
This is your invitation to experience another way of perceiving reality, expanding your consciousness and profoundly nourishing your life’s spiritual center.
Although the effects of shamanic experiences are often immediate, the results deepen over time, leading to a stronger sense of spiritual guidance, increased understanding of your life’s purpose, and easier access to you authentic creativity.
Overall, the shamanistic practices taught in this workshop (journeying, rituals and sacred poses from prehistoric Crete) will allow you to embody awareness of your most meaningful connections with your spiritual self, nature and other people, both those who are living and those who have passed over.
