In this introductory class you will learn the guidelines and steps for safe shamanic journeying (without the use of hallucinogenic drugs). Sharing with you what I have learned and experienced in my years of journeying, there will be ample time to have your questions answered so that you are confident for your first journey. The goal of this first journey will be to meet a guide, and you will take this journey while we are together at my office.

After your journey is complete you will journal about your experience, and we will interpret it together. This will give you time to process and integrate with the support of someone who has extensive experience in working with the spirit world. Your session will end with an optional mini plant spirit medicine treatment for grounding and blessing, and you will leave our time together with the skills, tools and knowledge to journey again at home to the guide you have just met.

We will begin this session by answering any questions you have from journeys you may have done on your own since our first meeting as well as a review of what was covered in your first class. You will then journey at my office to meet either another guide or an animal totem. As in the first session, you will record what you have experienced, and we will interpret and brainstorm together. We will end with an optional mini plant spirit medicine session for grounding and blessing.

(Fall/Winter)

Plant spirit journeys are best performed when the plant you are journeying to lives in your local area and is blooming. However, you can still explore and enhance your relationship with plants in the fall and winter! For this class, I will share with you how I was taught to journey to plants by my teacher, Eliot Cowan. Using a meaningful experience that you have had in your life with a plant or tree, you will journey to learn what it has to teach you. Together we will interpret and explore your journey and wrap up our time together with a mini plant spirit medicine session.

(Spring/Summer)

When plants and trees are budding and blooming, it is the best time to connect with them! This class will take place both outside and at my office, and will be an enriching and fun adventure. We will agree on an outdoor area to meet, preferably one that you feel drawn to, where you will choose a plant or tree to journey to.

Together we will spend time with the plant outside, and I will teach you the most beneficial ways to be with a plant in order to get to know it at the deepest level. After being outside, we will go to my office where we will journey to the plant and afterwards share what we experienced and learned.

Once you have completed the first four classes as described above, you may schedule stand alone sessions.

Topics for these can include help with interpreting a journey that you’ve already taken, doing a journey at my office on a topic or question that you would like extra support with, journeying to meet a new guide or totem or going outside together to learn from and journey to a plant or tree of your choosing.
