There are more paths to Spirit than there are stars in the sky.
This weekend workshop will introduce you to the intersection of Taoism and Shamanism, two ancient spiritual practices that offer profound insights into the nature of reality, energy and the human experience.
Taoist philosophy emphasizes the importance of balance, harmony, and flow. It teaches us how to live in harmony with the natural world and with ourselves.
Shamanism is a form of spiritual practice that involves journeying into the spirit world to gain knowledge and power. It is a powerful tool for healing, transformation, and empowerment.
This workshop will explore the similarities between Taoism and Shamanism. You will learn about the different practices and beliefs of these two traditions, and will have the opportunity to experience them for yourself.
