Shamanism in the Millennium

Shamanism in the Millenium is a course of study that prepares a person to become a Shamanic Practitioner, taught by Karen. The course includes monthly classes, workshops/weekend retreats and outdoor excursions: camping, and classes in the parks.

Shamanism is a worldview in which the participant experiences all living things as having an energy/life force and should be treated with that respect and honor. It includes the practice of continual gratitude and thankful rituals and ceremonies.

Shamanic techniques are powerful tools in healing the psyche and soul and have been used for over 12,000 years that have been documented through artifacts, petraglyphs and oral history.

Journeying is going inside to listen to Guidance with rhythmic drumming. It is also a medium to create a space for the client to re-remember his/her inherent ability to reconnect with Spirit for healing. It is a mind altering experience with intention and focus to heal, versus escaping. Initial journeying is used for each person to find a Power Animal/Being and to reconnect with that Being.

Soul Loss occurs with trauma, natural disasters, hospitalizations and creates Dis-Ease such as depression, being dissociated or out of the body, much of the time. Soul Retrieval is a shamanic ritual in which the soul essence(s) is brought home to the client to begin feeling whole again. SOUL RETRIEVAL by Sandra Ingerman outlines this process in detail. Extraction work is often very helpful in healing the soul's wounding created by curses/negative energy in both present and past lives. Trauma Bond in which the client has given away her/his power out of love and fear is another method of disenpowering to survive.

As a Shamanic Practitioner and Ordained Minister, Karen is able to perform weddings, funerals and baptisms/presentations of the child in any state. She is also able to perform Land Soul Retrievals, House/Space Clearings, and Psychopomp rituals.
