Holiday Extravaganza Art Show & Sale
November 30th and December 1st
Napa Valley Expo Center
Michael Harner's The Way of the Shaman®
with Beth Beurkens, M.A.
Mount Shasta, CA
September 8-9, 2012
Beth will be teaching this workshop, in which participants are introduced to core shamanism, the universal and near-universal basic methods of the shaman to enter nonordinary reality for problem solving and healing. Particular emphasis is placed on the classic shamanic journey, one of the most remarkable visionary methods used by humankind to explore the hidden universe otherwise known mainly through myth and dream.
Participants are initiated into shamanic journeying, aided by drumming and other techniques for experiencing the shamanic state of consciousness and for awakening dormant spiritual abilities, including connections with Nature.
