Shamanism and the Wilderness as Healer and Teacher
Facilitated by Ana Larramendi
A weekend workshop for building your spiritual connection to nature.
Begins Friday at 3pm, ends Sunday at 3pm. Residential and non-residential options.
Prerequisites: A basic journeying class, and the ability to receive spiritual information from spirit teachers and power animals.
The Shaman’s spiritual practice is inextricably woven with the natural world. Shamans drew their spiritual strength from a deep sacred marriage with the Great Earth Mother. For in this spiritual union there was never aloneness or want, but instead comfort, companionship, visioning and nourishment of the soul. This workshop is for those who wish to deepen their shamanic practice by learning how to truly communicate and be present with the Earth Mother…To see, hear and feel her signs, omens, rhythms and mysteries from a shamanic perspective. Students in this training will delve deeply into the Sacred Middle World of the Earth and combine ordinary and non-ordinary reality awareness to learn how to interpret and read the communications of the land.
Teachings include:
- Spiritual Philosophy of the Earth
- Sacred Silence and Cultivating Inner Vision
- Wide Angle Vision & Fox Walking
- Finding Power Places for Healing and Rituals
- Bird Language, Reading the Forest & Nature’s Concentric Rings
- Nature Spirits and Elemental Beings
- Working with the natural world as a teacher
- Spirit Walks, attuning to nature, and receiving Nature’s Signs & Omens
- Finding “Power Places” for meditation and visioning

This workshop is a unique blend of wilderness awareness skills and native applications of shamanic journeying. It does not require you to be physically fit, but rather to open your heart deeper and wider to the Earth than you ever have before…
