About the Series
"Intro to Shamanism: Building Relationship with the Natural World" is a four-week immersive experience designed to guide participants into a deeper understanding of nature’s wisdom and their own inner landscapes. Drawing on the Andean worldview and universal spiritual practices, this series fosters a supportive environment for both beginners and experienced seekers. Through guided meditations, shamanic journeying, and reflective writing, you’ll learn to connect with elemental forces, personal guides, and animal allies, culminating in a fire ceremony that weaves together all your insights.
