The Shamanic Community of Austin

Fall Medicine Dance
with Jason Traweek and Melissa Grogan

Pre-registration is required. The address and instructions will be sent to you once you have registered. Register here.

Medicine Dance provides the opportunity for you to explore deeply intimate connections with both yourself and spirit through movement. Spirit Lab provides the sounds and drumming to guide your experience as you move through your journey. This is open to everyone of all abilities: no prior movement experience is needed.

*Note* - This is NOT an ecstatic dance. Rather, this is a contemplative dance where the focus is inward. Eye contact, touch, and spectating are discouraged in this setting. We are together but on our own journeys.

Space is limited to 10 participants. Pre-registration is required. The address and instructions will be sent to you once you have registered.
Location: Private dance studio in the Travis Heights neighborhood, Austin, TX

*This class is a "Friends of the Shamanic Community of Austin" event, facilitated by an SCA member and approved by SCA Elder Council. Events of this nature are posted to offer more opportunities for members of the SCA community.

The Shamanic Journey is a practice to reach in and touch, communicate and gain insight from an "other side". Journeying can connect you with spirit animals, ancestors and guides. It can also allow you to visit strange and not-so-strange places and discover new perspectives providing answers to your most pressing questions and needs.

Requested contribution is $15 ($10 - $15 sliding scale).

While attendance for this event is free, please consider contributing to help with facility rental, technology maintenance and event organization. Your contributions are most appreciated. PayPal/Credit/Debit or Venmo or cash/check at the door for in-person events. If paying online, please provide in the comments, your name, date and event information.

We would also like to offer some resources that should be helpful to you. Please do take advantage of them when you need to. They are free to download here: http://bit.ly/spi_resources.

If you are unfamiliar with Zoom, when you click on the link, you will be directed to download the free (and safe) Zoom application. It works on iPhones, Android, tablets, and computers. (You might do this ahead of time in case you encounter installation issues, which happens sometimes.) When you log in, your video and audio will be turned off. We would love to see you, though, so you can choose to turn your video on! Please leave your audio off unless you want to speak or ask a question. That reduces distracting background noise.

We hope that you are doing well. Please remember to rest and take care of yourself, and to be kind to others. We will all come through this working together.

This Christmas Eve Journey will be an intimate gathering focused on our own wellbeing and healing.

Please RSVP to ensure your place in this very popular event!

Shamanism is not a religion or a dogma. It is a worldview, based on ancient understanding of the relationships between humans and nature or Spirit. Shamanic practice a practical way of being in the world that is not dependent on any particular organizational structure or belief system.

The shamanic perspective on life and living is deeply relevant to the challenges and concerns of our modern world and daily life experiences, and is compatible with all religious and spiritual beliefs.

[Online] Monday Shamanic Circle - Divination in Shamanism

The Shamanic Journey is a practice to reach in and touch, communicate and gain insight from an "other side". Journeying can connect you with spirit animals, ancestors and guides. It can also allow you to visit strange and not-so-strange places and discover new perspectives providing answers to your most pressing questions and needs.

In shamanic cultures, there are multiple approaches to the work shamanic practitioners do for their communities. There is the shamanic journey, which most of the circles in this community are based on. There is shamanic storytelling, which is another approach this community uses. And there is divination. From a shamanic perspective, divination is when the practitioner does not travel directly into Spirit World such as in a shamanic journey, but rather reaches into the Spirit World while staying present within ordinary reality by using divinatory tools and practices. In this way, throwing bones, reading coins or cards, reading signs in the natural world, whatever the practice may be, is the conduit through which the shamanic practitioner brings insight, wisdom, guidance and healing to others.

Join Sobhrag for a shamanic divination circle using a variety of divination tools. She will do a reading as a collective divination on behalf of those present in the circle that evening. We will blend that reading with elements of the more classic shamanic journey, to support you in integrating and grounding the messages from the reading into your own lives.

Requested contribution is $15 ($10 - $15 sliding scale).
