7-WEEK COMMITTED VIRTUAL WORKSHOP

What is Shamanic Journey & Movement?
Shamanic journeying bridges humans between the worlds, beyond the five senses, to recover messages, knowledge, and wisdom from our guardian spirits and ancestral allies.
During this individual and communal process, we will dance, journey with the drum, and embody our guidance through movement. We will put the group’s messages into motion by creating embodied tableaux.
Throughout the series, we will honor the worlds of the soul, the animals, the land, and the ancestor’s spirits.
For over 15 years, Sylvie Minot has been leading Medicine Circle with Wendy Heffner. During the pandemic, Sylvie found a different way to connect through the spirit world. She started a series called Shamanic Journeying and Movement over Zoom.
The journeys have been very profound during this time of unrest, a time when we need to connect with our guardian spirits and ancestral allies even more than ever. The journeys have been revealing and healing.
Participants were not just journeying for themselves, but also each other and the world. Now it is time for us to once again come together and experience this incredible journey.
This workshop is a ceremony to invite in the subconscious and spirit world to assist us.
It is amazing to ride the drumbeat and connect to others during this journey, even through Zoom. We tap into another realm together, and we connect in a way that goes beyond just looking at the person.
The journey begins with 20 minutes of movement, followed by coming together to set our intention. We’ll close the Zoom room, and the drumming journey will start. We conclude with another 15-20 minutes of movement to embody the journey and the medicine you’ve come back with, and then dance each other’s journey, followed by a little time to share afterwards. These sessions are 2 hours. Spirit has its own timing, so I like to have flexibility for the end time.
We start a virtual 7-week committed group on Monday, August 4, 2025. If you’d like to be part of the online group, email me at [email protected]. If you have not done one of these specific series with me, please fill out the application below.
