THE DIVINE BALANCE OF OUR MALE AND FEMALE ENERGIES

*Date to be confirmed*

The most profound thing you can do to heal and change is to tend the garden of your own Heart, and the most powerful way to begin this healing is to acknowledge, listen, and respond to the energies of your own inner male and female self. These qualities can be in our physical bodies, our emotional and mental perception, and in our spiritual experience and expression.

By balancing, healing, honouring and integrating our Divine Feminine and Masculine energies, we write a new future for ourselves, humanity and this planet.

On this weekend workshop we will explore our own state of balance between our female and male natures, and through Guided Meditation, Shamanic Journey, Music, Movement and Creative tasks we aim to discover what we need to let go of or embrace to allow Creator energy more fully into our lives.
You will be gently guided to seek those creative aspects of yourself and allow for a deeper trust, acceptance, and harmony, which can lead to the profound healing of the male and female aspects of yourself.

You will be invited to look at how you are nurturing yourself and make whatever changes you can to be present in a more relaxed and vital way so that you can engage in your work and  relationships more effectively from a renewed body, mind, and spirit.  When we accomplish this, we’ve shifted our creation by honouring our male and female together.

Good journeying skills are needed for this workshop.

We aim to start each day at 11am and fin 5pm.

Please bring a journal and pen, a blanket for your comfort while journeying, bottled water for use in the work-space and a packed lunch (tea & coffee will be available throughout the day)

The cost of this weekend workshop:- £80
A deposit of £20 is required to secure your place as numbers will be strictly limited.

EMBRACING THE SHADOW WITHIN

*Date to be confirmed* 

 

This year long course is an opportunity to turn the light inward so we may expand our inner vision and draw together those disowned parts of ourselves and bring them into full focus.

The only thing that stands between us accepting and living in harmony and grace with the Light and Dark essences of our being is the Shadow of our Dark Essence.

Let us move into that Dark Shadow part of ourselves together, seeking this place of potential wonder, magic and power.

Our shadow is everything inside us that we have disowned, avoided and kept in the dark. It is where our life-force gets trapped and is no longer available to us. 
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” – Carl Jung

During the final week you will have the opportunity to create your unique Shadow mask.........
Creating a 'Shadow' mask can be a very empowering process…one that allows and encourages you to look deep within, at the REAL you. To strip away the outer mask, and reveal the real person within. Most of us have spent our entire lives carefully constructing the mask we present to the world. In this workshop you spend time revealing the hidden you. Discovering your authentic self is about finding your personal power, your heart power, so that you can walk in balance upon the earth. 
We will then bring our masks alive and give them voice through ritual and ceremony.

If you feel called to this powerful event you can call us, FaceBook message us or email us to reserve your place.

Looking forward to your presence!!

PRAYER ARROW AND DEDICATION CEREMONY

A prayer arrow is a physical manifestation of the visions, guidance, and dreams you wish to come into your life. It is something you craft with your own hands imbuing it with your heart and soul. No two arrows have ever been alike, so let your imagination fly free in it’s creation. Our intentions are wrapped around our Prayer Arrow, this could be a goal, passion, or offering of gratitude, for ourselves, for others, or for humanity.
The day will include elements of Shamanic work and end with a dedication ceremony and drumming! (Please bring drum / rattle if you have them but we have spares for those without)

Taken from the indigenous traditions of Mexico, we describe the act of making our arrows as “a direct communication of heart and spirit, conveyed to the higher powers of Nature.” In other words, a straight-up tool for magical manifestation – and just perfect for the days right before the summer festival of Litha/ Summer Solstice!

Love and Harmony
Sheila & Rick

There was a time when mankind was primitive, a time when the sun was an object of worship and human beings were in sync with the earth. In these ancient days, the indigenous people didn't only use language or drawings to express themselves - they used dance. The old, shamanic ritual of uninhibited movement as a means to heal and energize rears its modern day as 'Shamanic Soul Dance' and is not to be underestimated.

Shamanic Soul-Dance is a deeply healing dance practice. It's a form of nourishment for your true self - for your soul. Moving freely (no 'set steps') to music created to resonate with your soul, you are guided into your own inner dance of release and re-connection. It offers a special kind of liberation - people say it feels like "coming home". 
This movement mediation uses music, rhythm, trance dance and breath to take you on a journey deep inside, moving beyond the thinking mind and into your body. Releasing stuck energy and letting go of any unwanted emotional baggage, rising up to ecstatic bliss to your true self followed by relaxing into stillness.

Soul Retrieval 2 Day Workshop

New DatesFor 2021 Coming Soon!

Soul retrieval is a unique shamanic healing method for regaining wholeness and balance after trauma and shock have fragmented the soul. It is a classical healing practice where the shaman finds and returns aspects of the soul which have been lost. Shamans see the soul as a complex unit. When soul loss occurs as the result of traumatic circumstances, it is followed by illnesses of different kinds, mental or physical. Depression, immune system disorders, problems in relationships, low self-esteem, lack of grounding, dysfunctional thought and behaviour patterns are some of them.

This workshop includes teachings and specific methods on the following topics:

In-depth understanding of the concept and phenomenon of soul loss and soul retrieval
Diagnosing soul loss
Finding and returning lost soul parts
Integration after soul retrieval.

The workshop guides participants on how to diagnose soul loss, how to find a lost piece of the soul, how to bring it back, and how to integrate it so that it remains with the person to whom it has been returned. There will be an opportunity to practice what we have learned. This is advanced healing, and the training will widen your foundation, your skills and your knowledge of shamanism. It is suitable for people who want to expand their understanding of shamanic healing as well as for healers, therapists and other practitioners.

There will be the opportunity to practice and receive soul retrieval.

ONE YEAR SHAMANIC EMPOWERMENT AND SELF DEVELOPMENT COURSE

 

This 12-month training programme is suitable for beginners and those already on a shamanic path and wanting to deepen their connection. It acts as a gateway towards heightening and enhancing your own awareness and acts both as a follow-up programme to previous circles, and as a fresh training experience for those new to Shamanism.

 

Bringing together a number of core shamanic techniques, such as journey, song and spirit contact, this training opens a doorway to transformational self-healing techniques and personal development, as well as offering very real opportunities to get close to the elements, including working with energies of the land, connection with the great universal web and communication with trusted spirit allies who will support us on our journey.

 

Participants will be given home working assignments as well as support via email/telephone if needed, and there will also be the option to meet, as a circle, between workshops to journey and drum together.

 

After successful completion of the course, participants will have the opportunity to undertake their own case-studies to become Registered Shamanic Healers.

 

If you’re looking to step further onto your shamanic path, embark on a journey towards personal improvement and want to learn in an authentic, friendly atmosphere, with plenty of practical application, this is the course for you.

 

Spirit of the Sacred Drum are Rick and Sheila Blackwell who are Shamanic Practitioners that studied at ‘The Warrior in the Heart Foundation’ based in Glastonbury. We practice both traditional and contemporary approaches to Shamanism and are based in Yorkshire. Our spiritual path has led us to a deeper understanding of the connection between Humanity, Nature and the Universe and that we are all as one, which is at the core of Shamanic Practice. The aim of the Shamanic Path is to reach a state of oneness which is called the ‘awakening’ and with the help of our spirit guides, we can bring back Wisdom, Guidance and Healing for ourselves, for others and for all creation. We provide a friendly, safe and confidential environment for those seeking spiritual development or for anyone with a casual interest.
