Shamanism and the Spirits of Nature

According to ancient shamanic tradition, all of nature is perceived as animated and ensouled. The aim of this workshop is to expand and deepen our knowledge of and relationship to nature by coming into direct contact with the spirits of the Middle World. These include stones, plants, animals, the elements and the weather, from which shamans of many cultures have learned since time immemorial. Beings known from fairy tales or mythology also play a role. This workshop takes place mainly outdoors.

First-hand shamanic experiences will teach participants to look at nature with different eyes. They will experience themselves as part of nature and have the opportunity to become aware of ecological interrelations for which the view of a larger whole is necessary. In addition to feeling connected, shamanic divination, healing work and ceremonies will be performed with the help of the spirits of nature. Participants will learn what needs to be considered in the process.
