Tools For Your Shamanic Journey

With Dakota Earth Cloud Walker

Do you have areas in your life you would like more clarity or guidance? Are you looking to heal, cultivate deeper relationships, or feel a sense of greater connection to others and the world around you? For thousands of years, Shamans have journeyed, using a trance state, a well-crafted intention, and the assistance of spirit guides and power animals, to worlds which exist outside our ordinary world. These worlds provide access to recieve profound guidance and healing. Over the next ten days, you’ll learn all the components needed to safely and effectively take a Shamanic journey and begin implementing this powerful tool into your spiritual practice. Shamanism isn’t a religion, it’s a path and tool for direct revelation and therefore, can be used by anyone of any spiritual tradition or faith. Learning to journey properly and safely, will provide you a highly powerful vehicle for deep spiritual growth.

Lesson 9

Crafting Your Intention & Interpreting Your Journey

When we journey, we do so because we have the desired outcome – a question, a mission, healing, clarity. It’s essential to create the intention for our journey before entering the trance and to create it in a way we can receive the proper answer. Once you have journeyed, interpreting your journey is the next most important step. Today we explore both of these two essential elements to the Shamanic journey.

This course was FANTASTIC. I’ve been doing guided meditation for awhile now, belong to a Goddess Circle and within all that have been referred to as a ‘shaman.’ I did not know much of what was explained in the workshop. Found it fascinating. Excellent job!

I came to this class already with experience with shamanic journey, but had lost touch with the practice over the last several years. This class was a fantastic tool to the energize this amazing practice. I learned many things I had not specifically learned before. Dakota have a wonderful way of explaining how to journey, how to connect with guides, and the nuances of different worlds. I am excited for what will come over the next days and weeks as I develop my relationship with my guides.
