Earth of Light: Shamanic Healing Circle

This circle will focus on healing, peace and reconciliation, recovery, grieving, letting go or reclaiming lost aspects of self and community and or simply to offer thanksgiving and praises to the sacred.

We will gather to work toward self-knowledge and self-transformation within a ritual dynamic of journeying through the Mandala which is the great symbol of the soul-referenced self and provides a “map” leading the way toward integration of being and toward the wholeness of our lives in relationship to earth and with all other living beings.

We will invoke the seven universal sacred directions and invite our personal totems and spirit helpers to join us. Those who do not know their totems or have not sensed the felt presence of their own personal spiritual community will be guided toward that experience.

We will create a Fire altar that symbolizes life, transformation and creation itself. Using powerful psychodynamic shamanic techniques - focused chanting, image association, the creative imagination, invocation, soul journeying, channeling and trance work - we are invited to tap into the deepest parts of our selves in order to resource our own soul’s gifts, wisdom, strength and endurance to constructively and creatively work on the needs we have brought to the circle.
