Half Day Retreat and Ceremony.
During this half day retreat, you will have the opportunity to sit in ceremony led by experienced shamanic practitioner Niamh (@Berkana_Raido_Rattles) https://www.berkanaraidorattles.com/general-7-1
As a shamanic practitioner, I will help you to discover the realms of the 'other world' known as 'Non-Ordinary' reality. We will spend the day in ceremony, working with sacred feminine master plant 'Mugwort' and or Cacao (depending on which calls). We will then dive deep into the ancient practice of Shamanic Journeying. You will learn techniques and rituals that will allow you to explore the realms of the 'other' world, connect with cosmic consciousness and your inner guides through the drum.
You will sit in circle with like minded wisdom seekers and learn how to access other worlds beyond this reality. You will gain answers to questions, retrieve healing, wisdom and connection to the lower and upper realms.
By the end of the half day retreat you will know how to...
-receive healing & guidance for what you need answers to in your life right now
-bring the practice of shamanic journeying — the oldest spiritual practice in the world — into your every-day life to improve aspects of yourself: emotionally, mentally, physically & spiritually
-connect you with many sources of guidance and inspiration so you can manifest positive outcomes for yourself and others as well as tap into your own intuitive gifts
-identify your own emotional and physical healing — understand how a shamanic practitioner views energy, what causes energy to get blocked and how to to seek guidance and support through shamanic journeying
-harness the power of ceremony realising its potential to create individual & community healing as well as positive change in your life and the lives of those around you
-sit in community with a circle of like minded souls in a safe and nurturing environment
