TAKING THE NEXT STEP-A SYSTEMIC CONSTELLATIONS WORKSHOP
June 21, 2008 10:00-6:00
With Michelle McKinney and Rhonda Laumann

Enduring changes result from taking one step at a time. In this day long workshop we will engage with the 'knowing field' through systemic constellations to help us take the next best step forward. Where are we held back? What do we need to let go? What is calling to us? How do we connect with our sense of purpose? Whether it is moving on from the past, grief,fear, or resentment; connecting with our hopes and dreams; or gathering support and resource for achieving our goals; we will experience movement forward, and take one more step in the direction of our hearts desire.

Location: Hummingbird Spiritual Center, Seattle, WA (in the Greenwood neighborhood)

Tuition: $75
Please sign up in advance

To Register: email Michelle McKinney at shamanicjourney@hotmail.com or call 206 523-9006.

INTRODUCTION TO SHAMANIC JOURNEYING
June 30, 2008 6:30-9:30
With Michelle McKinney

Journeying is an ancient self-empowering practice that can be used for personal healing and enrichment. With the use of a drumbeat, our brainwaves slow to a trance state enabling access to the realm of spirit. Benefits include enhanced relaxation, personal empowerment, physical and emotional healing, a way to explore dreams, building relationships with our helping spirits, and accessing information and help in solving problems.

In this 3 hour presentation, participants will receive an introduction to the history and method of shamanic journeying, and have the opportunity to experience several journeys.

Bring an eye-covering or bandana, journal, blanket, and a snack.

Optional Materials Fee: $15

Location: University of Washington Women's Center

Tuition: $35

WINTER-SUMMER 2008 CLASS CLOSED

SEVEN MONTH APPRENTICESHIP IN SHAMANIC HEALING
January-July 2008, Seattle, WA
With Michelle McKinney

Through a progression of information, experiential practices and initiations, participants will receive a comprehensive training in primary shamanic healing techniques, balanced with building one's container as a healer and developing solid relationships with personal and collective helping spirits.

The foundation in core shamanic healing and ceremony includes:

• Soul retrieval
• Extraction
• Transmuting toxic energy
• Healing with spiritual light
• Divination
• Death and dying
• Psychopomp (helping the deceased cross over)

This apprenticeship offers an integrative approach to shamanic healing arts for healers, counselors, therapists and body workers who would like to incorporate working with the spiritual cause of physical, mental and emotional symptoms into their practice.

We will weave in ethics, boundaries, protection, ritual, ceremony, aftercare and integration throughout the training.

The group size is very small to allow for personal mentoring and training.


Location: Seattle

Time: 10:00-5:00 Saturday and Sunday

Schedule: One weekend each month, January-July, plus one weekday evening per month in-between session:
Jan 19-20, Feb 16-17, Mar 15-16, Apr 19-20, May 10-11, Jun 7-8, Jul 12-13

Tuition: $250 per weekend
A commitment to the entire program is required.

Prerequisite: You must be confident with your journeying skills and have completed a weekend (or equivalent) workshop in basic core shamanic journeying.
If you need a refresher, or learn how to journey for the first time, private mentoring is available. Please contact Michelle.
