Edmonton, Alberta
Drumming Circle

Edmonton, Alberta Drumming Circle The Drumming Circle is still going strong led by Erin and Patti. They hold them on the first and third Fridays of the month at the Unitarian Church located at 10804 – 119 street in Edmonton. The circle starts at 7 and is generally over by 9.
The cost is still a bank breaking $5.
You need to bring with you a blanket to lay on, a cover for your eyes and a journal to record your experiences and thoughts in. I would bring slippers because it is a cement floor under that carpet and by golly my toes got cold.
You can find the page under Shaman’s Journey Drumming Circle on Facebook. Each circle has a different theme and is always well put together.

Spirit of the Drums Circle
Our group was started just over a year ago by Monica Tripani. We are an open group, welcome to all new members, and welcome all from other groups. We drum every Monday night from 7pm to 8:30pm. We also drum at other times. Last year we organized an International drumming for peace on the Summer Solstice, June 21 at 7pm on both sides of the St.Claire River between Canada and the U.S.A. There were over 300 Participants.

We are organizing again this year and would like to have participation in each time zone at 7pm Thursday June 21, Summer Solstice. It would be nice to see drumming right across North America at 7pm in each time zone. Hoping you can pass the word along and help in our small way to bring peace throughout the World.

Bath, England
Bath Shamanic Journeying Circle

Our circle has been meeting since March 2009; we meet on the first Sunday of the month at 7pm, within the city centre of Bath. Our circle was originally set up to offer a safe sacred space to build a community of people interested in shamanism to meet and gain support and knowledge with and from each other.

Our work together is experiential and spirit given, so before we meet a journey is undertaken to ask to be shown the work we are to carry out for the forthcoming circle. We are a small friendly committed group and we welcome new people to the circle, because of the nature of the work we are shown there needs to be a confident level of experience of being able to journey. This would include being able to undertake an upper and lower world journey and to be able to journey for someone else. If you are seeking a way to learn to journey, or to improve your confidence in the practice, you are more than welcome to contact us and we can discuss this and point you in the right direction to take your next steps; a few of us are trained to teach journeying:

Please bring drum, rattle (if you have one) and something to cover your eyes when journeying, also anything you would like to add to the alter. The cost of the evening is shared equally between the numbers of people that attend; we look forward to meeting and working with you.

For more information please

I remember a world where the crash of ocean
waves carries the voice of our Mother,
the soft light of the moon is Her gift to us,
and every living being is my relative.
I remember a world in which the call of an
owl, the flight of a heron, and the sound of
the wind through the trees have meanings too
deep to tell.
I remember a world where dreams run deep,
life runs slow, and eternity
unfurls itself on a spiral.
I remember...

Our school provides the best instruction, training, and life experience available in Alaska for those who enjoy Wilderness Adventure / Ecological Stewardship Projects / & Documentary Production. We accomplish this by blending indigenous wisdom such as Shamanism with the merging fields of video • computer • & telecommunications technology.

This Mystery School is open to all. We especially welcome those who share a respect for all living creatures and are interested in living sustainably and symbiotically with nature and people. Our vision is seeing people doing the work they love and sharing the highlights with our local and global community.

The Alaska Wilderness School mission is bringing people and nature together. Wilderness Adventure / Ecological Stewardship / & Documentary Production are the primary ways that we experience this. Survival / Holistic Living / & Sustainable Development are three major objectives. Our long-term goal is Higher Education & Deep Ecology for Economic Prosperity.

"In a healthy society, economy always follows ecology, and education precedes them both." -Ken Carey, VISION

There are no requirements for membership though there are several different levels of particiapation. Some are free, others require a small fee to offset costs. Everyone is encouraged to review the following three ancient forms of wisdom for humanity that are the basis for the Alaska Wilderness School and all that we do. These include: The Golden Rule / The Four Agreements (Toltec People) / and the Hawaiian Principles which may be found on our website: AlaskaWildSchool.com. These are simple guidelines for freedom, getting along well with others, and developing direct, personal experience and connection between Spirit / Self / & Nature.

The Alaska Wilderness School is dedicated to sustainable development of education & ecology for a prosperous economy. The administration and operation of this school are based upon the best indigenous wisdom and modern technology available. Learning, experiencing, and sharing the way of the Shaman are integral to nearly every aspect of the what we do. Our goals include providing the instruction, hands-on training and resources necessary for people to do the work they love while earning a decent living, particularly in ways that are beneficial to people, animals, plants, trees, and ecosystems large and small.

They open their doors to the community every Sunday at 10 a.m. with a weekly sacred gathering for those who find the divine in nature and access this through a direct relationship with the spirit world.

Come join Steve and April and other mindful and consious local people who are excited about the natural and deeply sacred world in which we live. People who are interested in personal growth and use shamanic journeying for understanding and healing. Always open to new visitors, from around the Santa Cruz,San Jose areas, or from distant lands!

At the Marshall Creek Center, sacred space and cottages are available alongside the song of the year-round creek. Periodically available are weekend overnight retreats and evening programs. Extended retreats or overnight stays are also possible. Rooms and workspace are available for individuals or small groups. A fairly priced motel and the Quaker retreat center provide extra lodging within walking distance of the Marshall Creek Center.

Costa Mesa, CA
Practicing the Shamanic Journey 2
Meets the first Tuesday of the month from 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. Come early in order to start at 7:00. Doors will be open at 6:30.

Many of us have learned the invaluable tool of journeying to the Lower, Middle, or Upper Worlds of non-ordinary reality in order to meet our Spirit Helpers. This visionary method is used world-wide to seek answers to problems, to obtain physical, emotional, and spiritual healing, and to restore power, purpose, and well- being into our lives. On our own, however, it can sometimes be challenging to practice shamanic journeying, especially when we wish to do so with others. If you would like to continue using the Michael Harner method of journeying for yourself, and/or others, in a like-minded group setting, please consider joining us on the first Tuesday of the month for this new drumming circle.

In addition to journeying, we'll also be discussing shamanic topics that emerge from the group, or from events happening to, or in our local and larger communities.

Location: Visions and Dreams Bookstore, 2482 Newport Blvd. Costa Mesa, CA.
Cost is $15.00 at the door by cash or check payable to Karen Palmer.
Pre-requisite: Instruction in basic journeying from the FSS staff or from another teacher or friend. Any level of experience is fine. For those who would like to be a part of our circle and don't know how to journey please contact me.
Bring a mat, blanket, or sitting cushion; bandana or eye covering; water; journal and pen; any small sacred object for the altar; drum or rattle if you have one; warm socks; and a sense of adventure.

Monroe, CT
Healing Drum Gathering
The Healing Drum Gatherings are a gathering of those who wish to experience the healing energy of the drum, the heartbeat of Mother Earth. The drum has the ability to shift energy in a dramatic way as it is an integral tool for vibrational healing. The beat of the drum travels directly to the inner core and can facilitate the release of negative thoughts and behaviors, find the point of creation of illness or dis-ease, and raise the overall vibration of the entire being.

The intention of this gathering is the creation of a sacred space and loving community of beings of light and spirit to allow for a deep level of healing for all participants and to share our raised collective vibration by offering healing and gratitude to earth and spirit. At the Healing Drum Gatherings we are all teachers and messengers of spirit, so no level of training or ability is required. If you have a drum or rattle, please bring one with you. If you do not, some will be available at the Gathering for use. Wear comfortable clothing and bring a notebook and pen.

Suggested donation of $20. Monthly gatherings. Various locations in CT, frequently Monroe. Please see website for details/schedule. Must RSVP to attend.

Together we will begin to Weave the web of Hazhro (harmony) through Sound and Movement, raising the evolutionary vibration of the planet.

In ceremony, you will Discern Your Role in the changes taking place today. Learn to Manifest Your Dreams, and to Co-create In Peace with neighbors, friend, lovers, and co-workers in the Dance of Life. This workshop is a Living Prayer.

USA, HAWAII
Kalani Honua Retreat Center, Big Island
Huna Healing Circle
I have been teaching Hawaiian Shamanism for nearly eight years at the Kalani Honua Retreat Center on the Big Island of Hawaii every Thursday evening at 7:30. This is the Kahili form of Huna as taught by Serge Kahili King. Because this is a retreat center where there is a constant flow of participants, we cover basics at the beginning of each circle and then explore different aspects of life from a Huna point of view. This generally culminates in a shamanic journey appropriate to the topic of the evening. While there is some theory, this is primarily an experiential class. Everyone is welcome.

Michigan City, IN
New Moon Drumming Circle
DRUM CIRCLE SCHEDULE at SAGE SPIRIT TERRA
The Drum Circles at Sage Spirit Terra are Journey Circles for Personal Empowerment. We go deep within to the beat of the drum to seek answers for ourselves. My teachers are from South America; we follow their methods. The Drum represents the womb & combined with the masculine beater stick, we create anew. The original drummers were women from the inception of the drums in 25,000 BCE.

The Women used single headed drums for ceremonies for family. The
single-headed drum is used around the world to achieve altered states of consciousness; to contact our Guides & Helpers in the Universe who are waiting for us to ask for help.

The drum circles are open to All who are called to the New Moon and the Sacred Days in the Circle of Life. On the New Moon we ask for what we want to make Manifest on the Full Moon. From the black void comes All Creation that is why the New Moon is the most power filled time of the month.

The drum circles are held at Sage Spirit Terra (healing spirit land)
at 9464 North Meer Road, Michigan City, Indiana 46360

Drumming the Soul Awake
Drumming the Soul Awake meets nearly every Friday in south Minneapolis or St. Paul. On average 35 people attend. We drum with a variety of instruments: ecstatic & fun as well as meditative & deep rhythms. We take a break and the second part of the evening is directly shamanic and ceremonial. The experiences, now in their ninth year, are led by Jaime Meyer, who has an M.A. in Theology and the Arts from United Seminary of the Twin Cities and has studied with Tom Cowan, Sandra Ingermann, Martin Prechtel and Ailo Gaup. Our circle is open and welcoming to new comers, out of towners, the experienced and inexperienced alike. We are less of a "core shamanism" circle—although we do journey often—and more of a reverent shamanic community, conducting ongoing ceremonial work for healing and connection to the spirits of nature.

Butler, NJ
Morristown, NJ
Shamanic Healing, Drumming, and Journey Circle
Every month, this sacred circle ebbs and flows in accordance to how Spirit calls. Some circles mirror a more traditional drumming circle, while others are focused more on personal/global healing. Most every circle will feature at least one journey for personal healing and exploration in a way that weaves with the month's focus. All circles, though they may have varying focuses, are in alignment with the natural Earth, Moon, and Cosmic cycles. The voices of all participants are heard as we work and play in Oneness. All are welcome! Whether you are new to shamanism or a seasoned practitioner, all will receive depth and healing.
Circles are held in the Butler, NJ and Morristown, NJ area!

Church of Earth Healing
Crow Swimsaway PhD and Bekki Shining Bearheart have been sharing their lives and spiritual path since 1980, and teaching and practicing shamanism and shamanic healing since 1982. They founded the Church of Earth Healing in 1990. The Church's mission is the healing of Mother Earth and all our relations through shamanism and other healing modalities.

Bekki and Crow have facilitated a weekly shamanic drumming circle since 1989 (under the sponsorship of the Church since 1990), which has attracted a diversity of participants from nearby communities and Ohio University. Bekki and Crow teach beginning, intermediate and advanced shamanic classes in the Athens area and throughout the eastern half of the U.S., as well as in Britain, and have helped start drumming circles in a number of cities where they teach.

The home circle does shamanic healing and energy work for participants of the circle, friends and family, and for others who request it, as well as for human and non-human communities in need around the world. Circle members also engage in shamanic work for personal growth and guidance as part of the circle meetings.
