All workshops take place in Auroville at Verité or at a nearby forest location. Workshops available at your choice of location upon request.

A three-hour introductory workshop is offered regularly and is suitable for complete beginners. The workshop takes place either in the comfort of a yoga hall or in a serene forest setting immersed in Nature as you learn the art and practice of shamanic journeying. This practice is calming and supportive and helps to reconnect with your true Self and receive spiritual guidance.

Introduction to Shamanic Practices

A five-hour deep guided journey into your inner realms in complete darkness. Spending time in darkness is a powerful tool that has been used all over the world for thousands of years in order to gain spiritual insight, receive wisdom and direction, and embody life more fully. The prerequisite is prior attendance of an introduction to shamanic journeying workshop.

Darkness Visible

For those who have completed the Introduction to Shamanic Journeying workshop, we have weekly evening drop-in practice sessions. Each week there is a theme, a short discussion with instructions, a guided relaxation, a live drum guided journey, and an opportunity for sharing and asking questions.

Regular Practice Sessions

In this three-hour shamanic workshop, participants will deepen their connection to the natural world through embodied techniques designed to access the healing wisdom of the vegetal realms. We will explore plant intelligence and learn how to communicate with them. This workshop is experiential with guided journeys, sensory awareness practices, and grounding exercises. It is a prerequisite class for any deep-dive Master plant immersion workshops.

Exploring the Vegetal Realms

Spending time getting to know one plant deeply is a truly enriching experience. The next Master Plant Immersion for 2025 will be with Rose. Rose is a powerful heart medicine and a perfect ally to support us during these difficult times when we feel overwhelmed with hurting hearts. A plant immersion workshop introduces techniques for cocreating a partnership with a plant for healing and guidance.
