A note on "PRACTICAL SHAMANISM" from David Thomson, PhD

In the old shamanic traditions, shamanism literally means "one who travels between the worlds."  In today's fast-paced techno-material world, many of us are coming in from the cold and individualistic square culture into the warm relational round culture of the old ones.
 
In this new world we honor and travel the cycles of the seasons, the eternal round of birth and childhood, adolescence, maturity, and old age.  Here we honor the teachings and seasons of the sun-moon-star dance that is our natural home. 
 
Come join us this spring as we explore these worlds and open up our sight and our senses to that which has for too long lay hidden in our very natures. 
 
 
Sacred Circles schedule for classes and gatherings this spring at Vision Quest (36th and Colby in Everett) and other locations. In addition there will be monthly sweats, occasional pipe ceremonies, and other gatherings that we can let you know about if you wish.
