The Hawaiians believed that the Shadow World (aka honua) is a place that intersects the spiritual and physical realms, where spirit enters our soul and becomes the world. But it is also the home of lapu — ghosts of our own creation. In this workshop we will find the Shadow World and learn how to create a new world. We will also find our lapu and transform them into living a life of peace and harmony. Prerequisite: Basic shamanic journeying or visualization skills.

A LIVE Workshop with Tom Cowan: Embracing Sovereignty ~ A Workshop in Celtic Shamanism :: |

In-person, 2 days. (August 20 & 21, 2011, in Mundelein, IL). Shamanism is an earth-based spirituality in which spirits of the land—animals, plants, elementals, ancestors, faeries—play dominant roles as teachers, guides, and guardians. In Celtic traditions the Spirit of the Land Herself is named Sovereignty. She is the Goddess of the Land, the foundation for all moral and political authority. In this workshop we explore Sovereignty’s role as the center of the Irish “medicine” or spirit wheel. We will better understand our responsibility to correct the imbalances in our lives, and in the world we live in. Prerequisite: Participants must have shamanic skills to work with power animals and journey into non-ordinary reality. (ASN Courses SH102, SH103, and SH105 can meet this prerequisite) |
