Applying Shamanism Program

Quetzalpetlatl by Emily Grieves


Applying Shamanism 2024

The Applying Shamanism program begins energetically with the December Solstice and continues through the June Solstice. Our calendar is linked to full and new moons, beginning in January, and concluding in July.
If you’re sensing that there is a completely different timetable at work, you’re right! We’re talking “shaman time!”

Over the past 12 years of offering this program, a community has developed – that can most accurately be described as comprised of “feral friends!.” Feral in the sense that we have found and tapped into our original wild undomesticated selves – the authentic original giftedness that we came into life with. And this is possible for you too!

In past years, after the core program offering shamanic traditions, resources and practices concludes in July, we take the month of August off. Then, September thru December is a time of integration and practice.
This year, we’re celebrating our extended community – lovers of Teotihuacan and Toltec wisdom traditions – with monthly Zoom video broadcasts of “Artists of Spirit” live from the Dreaming House – showcasing the visual art, poetry, music, visionary commentary and magic of our extended community. The program schedule will be emailed and posted here on shamanzone.com

Coming to here and now, we’re moving into a new world. The old structures, no matter how well-intentioned or previously successful, are falling away. “Spiritual practices” which used to support the unfolding and flowering of people’s giftedness are being rendered obsolete.We’re deep in the flow of this evolutionary moment of life advocating for life – while simultaneously, we’re facing overwhelming challenges brought on by the trance induction system of exploitation, enslavement, predatory abuse and co-option that we call “normal reality” on our planet.

Becoming effective at creating solutions and finding resources that benefit life has become an urgent priority – that we address by supporting your emergence, your flowering. As always, old friends and new acquaintances are invited to participate in everything!

Contact me for info on courses and journeys.
Everyone is welcome – family, friends, and anyone who would benefit from recovering their wildly agile, creative, responsive and resourceful selves!

Specific program details for Applying shamanism 2024 will be posted soon.
