About us
Shamanic learning is experiential. Only when you have experience do you really have intelligent questions and insights based on a direct encounter with reality. In the West, however, we emphasize talking and explaining first; then maybe have an experience that validates what we decide is real.
This group is about learning and experiencing the powerful potential of shamanic techniques and rituals that can be practiced in everyday life. We encourage you to join us, to experience shamanic practice first-hand, and then to test what you learn in your everyday life. This is the way to incorporate spirit guidance and wisdom.
The group meets several times a month for drum journeys, trance practices, workshops, and retreats. This group does not use or advocate the use of psychogenic substances.
The core of this group has been meeting regularly since 2003, but everyone of all experience levels is welcome. As an established group, our circles are supportive, high-energy, and often astounding in content.
We meet weekly for explorations in shamanic journeying, healing ritual, music and movement, and other practices. There is something happening every week! Membership in this group is free. We do ask for a contribution of $10 per person to cover time and space rental for meetings.

An Important Note About Teacher Plants and Other Substances
As expressed above, this group does not advocate the use of psychogenic substances in any of our events. The reason for this is that the journey work we do is inherently trance-inducing and may be harmful to the person under the influence of such substances. In addition, such use generally is disruptive to the energy of the circle, as well as distracting to other participants.
Therefore, if someone attends any event under the influence of mind-altering drugs or other substances, they will be asked to leave. Repeated violations may result in the person being banned from the group.

Come explore the question:
What is the something that only you can become?----------

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.

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.
