Once upon a time....
...you sat near a campfire under a starry sky and felt wonder;
looked into the eyes of a wild animal and felt transfixed; had a
flash of intuitive insight.

...your ancestors knew the spiritual reality hidden behind
stones, and inside the trees, rivers, animals and birds.

...your ancestors recognized the essential beauty and harmony
of all that is within and upon the earth, understood the wisdom
of living in unity with creation.

...mystics experienced shifts of consciousness that allowed
them to experience the love inherent in the universe. Shamans
knew techniques to perceive and interact with the spiritual
realities. They gained the spirit’s compassionate wisdom,
healing and knowledge for the benefit of their community.

...shamans understood how to walk
between the worlds.

Today, contemporary urban shamans use ancient techniques to
perceive the same hidden spiritual realities. Through journeying
techniques the shamanic practitioner recovers the consciousness
that every person has latent within but may have forgotten how to
access.

Everyone dreams at night. Through journey techniques, you will
learn to utilize the consciousness experienced during dream states
and peak experiences.  Through training and practice, you, the
shamanic practitioner will experience the parallel universe of spiritual
or non-ordinary reality.

Joan will act as your mentor, giving you one-on-one instruction
individualized to your unique requirements.
