Shamanic Wilderness Course for women in Sápmi/Lapland
16 th - 22 nd of July 2017
Advanced course One
week shamanic course in the mountain wilderness in Artic Sápmi (Lapland) - Northern Scandinavia.
The course starts and ends in Jänkänalusta 20 km from Kiruna in Sweden. You arrive on a Sunday and leave the following Saturday. There is room for 6 participants.
In the summer I live in a guest hut in Jänkänalusta with Peter and Eva Armstrand who run Team Fourbears, and this is the starting point for all my shamanic wilderness activities.
The
course is a shamanic field expedition, where we make a spiritual
discovery-journey into the mysteries and magic of nature. We will work with shamanic trance work i.e. trance-walking in nature. To walk in nature while you are in a shamanic trance makes it possible to learn to see, speak and collaborate, with the spirits who live there.
You will learn about shamanic healing principals and techniques – such as treatment of power loss, soul loss and possessions on an advanced level. In connection with soul retrieval we will talk about: side effects, complications, counter indications, healing resistance, soul-part rejection, and prevention against new soul-loss. You will be introduces to: one, two, three and four dimensional shamanic healing. You learn about shamanic soul care – to keep the soul healthy and strong.
You can learn to speak and collaborate with the plants, stones and animals – for the benefit of yourself and others. The purpose is, that you learn to access spirit power, wisdom, healing and knowledge from nature; as we humans have done from the beginning of time, and nature-people still do. In collaboration with nature you may discover your own true nature.
In the evening we will work with trance journeys to the dream world (spirit world). You can learn to speak with your own, and other peoples dreams, and the people who occur in the dreams. You learn how you can explore the stone's, plant's and wind's dreams – and the spirit's dreams (and the dream's dreams). In the dream world, we can encounter totem and power animals, deceased persons, medicine plants, and many other spirit people, we can collaborate with in various ways. When we trance-walk in nature, we can invoke the dream-people, so they come into our world. The dreams are some our most important friends and guides. It is important to learn about the dreams nature and the dream world's nature (spirit world's nature).
We can make a camp fire and burn our tongues on hot coffee and bake pancakes. Even though the midnight sun is under the horizon for a couple of hours, it is light all night. The air is clean and crisp, and the stillness can be deafening.
I have made a mini course in nature shamanism on 4 CDs. You can listen to the MP3 files in Danish or Swedish on my web site. The texts are also there, and you can try to do a Google translation into your own language.
CDs
You must have previous experience with
shamanism. The course is primarily for people who work with shamanism.
You must have taken at least a basic course in shamanism and learned to drum journey and have contact with a spirit helper (animal, plant, forefarther, foremother, tupilak etc.).
This
course is also meant to be a course in how to make your way in the wilderness. You can learn to read a map and use a
compass and GPS navigator. You can learn about equipment and
cooking – and how you react psychologically to being
totally isolated from civilisation. I have 40 years arctic
wilderness experience.
To practise shamanism
on nature's terms can by very different from practising shamanism
on civilization's terms. Date:
