(ranging from 1 to 10) based on both the writing and performance of the
poem. This goes on for 3 rounds to determine somebody with a high score
that we can declare as the winner. In truth, everyone who adds to the

some way to give it out.

FREE Introduction to Shamanic Journeying
Taught by Ellen Winner, CSC®*
Ellen Winner practices shamanism in Boulder, Colorado,
and serves as Guest Faculty for the Foundation for Shamanic Studies.
Extensively trained in Core Shamanism by the Foundation, she has also studied
in Nepal with indigenous Himalayan shamans.
In the Basic experiential workshop, participants are introduced to core shamanism,
the universal, near- universal, and common basic methods of the shaman to enter non ordinary reality for problem solving and healing. Particular emphasis is on the classic shamanic journey, one of the most remarkable visionary methods used by humankind to explore the hidden universe otherwise known mainly through myth and dream.
Participants are initiated into shamanic journeying, aided by drumming at 4-8 cycles per second, a technique for experiencing the shamanic state of consciousness and awakening dormant spiritual abilities including connections with Nature.
Practice includes comparisons by participants of their discoveries in shamanic journeys as well as introduction to shamanic divination and healing. They learn methods for journeying to meet and study with their own individual
spirit helpers in non-ordinary reality, a classic step in shamanic practice.
Participants learn how to use their journey skills to restore spiritual power and health, and how shamanism can be applied in contemporary daily life to help heal oneself, others, and the Planet.
The Basic Workshop is a prerequisite for all advanced FSS shamanic training workshops and programs.
