SHAMANIC WORKSHOPS FOR MEN AND WOMEN

These workshops have come into creation in order to heal and bring forward the true masculine and feminine energies within us. Sadly many of us have not been blessed with the guidance needed in order to be who we are and honour our gender. For many of us there is confusion, sometimes even shame or fear, about what it truly means to be a man or a woman. We have not had teachings on how to embody our masculinity or femininity in a balanced way. Often in our culture we are given a distorted image of what being a man or a woman really is. For the old ones, Rites of Passage, especially at puberty, clearly marked entry into manhood and womanhood. Men and women were given ceremonies and instruction on how to embody their gender; without these initiations it was seen that they could not step into authentic adulthood.

Native people see that there is a clear difference between men and women. Although both are forged from the same fire, each carries different qualities, gifts and energies. We are two halves which together make one whole and by embracing our true nature we can live a life that is in harmony with the rest of the universe.
These workshops will stand in their entirety as a powerful initiation process into manhood and womanhood. Both are focused on honouring and owning our own gender power with absolute respect and honouring of the opposite gender.

THE COUNCIL OF WARRIORS – A Workshop For Men

This is an empowering workshop looking at men’s role, identity and spirituality in
today’s world. It is based on native people’s teachings and wisdom and the aim
of the weekend is to initiate men into the gifts of their masculinity.

The workshop will include initiation rituals enabling participants to step into their warrior selves, healing ceremonies, work with spirit animals, meditations that will also guide participants after the workshop, work with the powers of nature,
and rituals to let go of unhealthy patterns and beliefs.

There will be teachings on the way of the warrior and protector, how to build a strong inner centre and how to contain your power and not give it away, building a healthy, strong, balanced masculine identity, having purpose and direction in your life and in the world, the cycles in the life of a male, men’s connection to the sun, how to live aligned with the natural laws and the circle of warriors, where men learn to honour and support each other. The workshop will also include teachings on
integrating, respecting and honouring the feminine.
