CIRCLING IN SACRED COMMUNITY
Over our time together, we'll gather in sacred circle, in the shamanic tradition. We'll start getting to know one another the first evening. **No prior shamanic experience is required.
BEFRIENDING THE DARK
Living, as we do, in a culture that tends to fear darkness, and associates it with negative things, we'll take time to acquaint ourselves with this loving, primordial spirit that can render so much healing and rebirth.
HOW WAS YOUR 2024?
We'll spend some time closing out 2024, and dreaming into 2025.
What do you want to say goodbye to, and what kind of new year do you want to manifest?

DREAMING THE DARK CELEBRATION
On the Solstice, the longest night of the year, we will celebrate the Dreaming the Dark ritual to bring healing to the group. This powerful ritual has brought healing through to so many people over the decades.
You can read about the very first Dreaming the Dark ritual back in 1995, in this article.
