SHAMANISM AND NATURE SPIRITS

Using shamanic techniques, experience a connection with living nature and its spirits.

According to the ancient shamanic tradition, all nature is perceived as alive and with a soul. The goal of this workshop is to expand and deepen our knowledge and relationship with nature by coming into direct contact with the spirits of the Middle World. These include stones, plants, animals, elements and weather conditions, from which shamans of many cultures have learned since time immemorial. Creatures known from fairy tales or mythology also play a role. This workshop takes place mainly outdoors.

It is the shamanic experience that will teach participants to look at nature with different eyes. They will experience themselves as part of nature and will gain the opportunity to become aware of ecological interrelationships that require a broader view of the totality of all living things. In addition to a sense of connection with the spirits of nature, shamanic divination, healing work and ceremonies will be performed. Participants will learn what to consider in the process.

The seminar “Shamanism and Nature Spirits” practically addresses the following aspects of shamanic work:

· Practical experience of the living and soulful nature of nature and nature spirits

· Shamanic work with the spirits of the Middle World, such as stones, plants, animals, elements, weather conditions and creatures from fairy tales and legends

· In-depth knowledge of one’s relationship with nature and ecological interrelationships.

· Becoming aware (or renewing one’s understanding) of one’s personal connection with the so-called “environment”

· Training in the perception of the extraordinary aspects of the Middle World.

Target audience: people who want to get acquainted with the basic principles of shamanism.
