November 2019 "Powering Up With A Power Song"

“Power Up with a Power Song”
 
The voice is a powerful instrument and when it’s allowed to express itself in song it can open us up to a deep spiritual place. Think of the church songs, the school anthems, the National Anthem or even the pop cultural songs that trigger an emotional response.  There is something to the vibrational experience of song.
 
Traveling the familiar road, the road of my childhood, to what’s left of my parent’s farmland still in our family name, to a sparse reunion of siblings, nephews and nieces, I begin to hum.  The humming transfers to a vocalization of non-words, my power song.
 
In shamanism, a power song is personal, unique to the individual.  It doesn’t have to have words, in fact, it’s best if it doesn’t.  It’s a rhythmic, simplistic blend of vocalizations, drumming, rattling, and perhaps dance, that is repeated. Singing my power song is an invitation to the deeper, wiser part of myself, to my spirit helpers, Mother Earth and Great Spirit to come and be with me. Shamans use a power song to prepare themselves for a spiritual healing or ceremony.  On this day, I used my power song to soften my heart creating an opening for God’s presence to abide.
 
Family reunions can be tricky to navigate, old wounds can be triggered.  I wanted to be in a place of love with my family.  I sang my power song on this day so that I could prepare myself to be a vessel of love and healing for myself and my family. When I arrived I felt ready, ready to be fully present with my siblings, and extended family. The day flowed. I felt the love.

TWO-DAY BASIC SHAMANISM CLASS- MARCH 7-8, 2020
​Connecting with Divine Spirit through Shamanism
A two-day basic shamanism workshop
Saturday, March 7, 2020   9am- 9pm

At Crow Moon Healing Bed and Breakfast - 6472 Breunig Road, rural Mazomanie, Wi. 

From the beginning of time, indigenous cultures on every continent shared a shamanic spiritual view.  Our forebears lived close to the earth, deeply in tune with her cycles and seasons, the elements and nature.  In this connection, they found their spirituality.  they believed that every living being had a spirit- not just people, but also animals, trees, stones and plants.  They commonly traveled into the spirit realm to communicate and interact with power animals, spirit guides and nature spirits.   Through exploring the basics of shamanism, we can rekindle our connection to the divine and develop our ability to communicate directly with Spirit to receive guidance on our spiritual path.  This is a foundational class for future shamanic workshops.
In this two-day experiential workshop, we will:

•  gain comfort with accessing divine wisdom through the shamanic journey and explore the shamanic realms by journeying to the Lower and Upper Worlds
• meet a power animal and a spirit teacher to serve as guides in the spirit world
• practice a method of divination with natural objects and connect with nature spirits
• participate in a fire ceremony to release and transform energy experiment with the shamanic sounds of drumming and rattling

 Fee: $375 with early registration by February 24- OR-$425 after February 24.
Meals included in the workshop fee: Snacks, lunch on Saturday, breakfast on Sunday and lunch on Sunday.  Dinner on Saturday evening is potluck style before the evening fire ceremony.  Basic lodging is available on-site for Saturday evening at no extra charge, or bring a tent and camp if you prefer.
