Beginning Saturday, March 29th, 2025, I will offer a monthly gathering focused on shamanic journeying and drumming. No experience with shamanism, journeying, or drumming is necessary – just a curious and open heart!
Shamanic journeying is a powerful practice that anyone can learn and use. Working in the spirit realm teaches us true freedom and self-empowerment. There, we have access to other worlds. We connect with the energy that underlies the physical world, and receive guidance from our spirit guides and ancestors. Moreover, we gain the ability to heal ourselves at the deepest level.
Shamanic drumming is both a healing art and a catalyst for shamanic journeying. At our gatherings, we will explore both ways of working with rhythm. Participants are encouraged to bring a drum and/or rattle if they have one. Extra rhythm instruments will be available for those without.
We will most often meet at the Unitarian Church of Marlboro and Hudson, located in Hudson, MA (80 Main St.), on the third Saturday of the month from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM. During the summer, we’ll gather outdoors, when possible, in various locations.
This is an open group, and anyone can join any gathering. The program cost is $5 for Shamanic students and UCMH Members, and $10 for non-members. Join my mailing list for program reminders and updates so you don’t miss a session!
