Shamanic Passages™ Workshop Experiences
Workshops are experience-based. Not only do participants receive information linearly through presentation, discussion and dialog, the primary teaching modality is through exercises and personal experience of the material. Shamanic teaching and training is based on "experience first, dialog after." In that way, participants have something to relate to in discussions and a basis for questions.

Power Animals: Shadow
