Classes and Workshops
Boundaries for Empaths
Next Date: TBA
Do you find that you are constantly taking care of others? Are you very sensitive to the moods of those around you? There is no need for you to continue to feel drained and overwhelmed!
This class covers two main parts of managing empathy:
1) A conscious over-helping of others, often at the neglect of your own self care, and
2) Being unconsciously sensitive to the energy and emotions of people around you.
In this class, you will explore the deeper why's and how's of these two sides of being an empath, and learn how to manage your own sensitivity.
You will leave with some simple techniques for reining in your sensitivity, both in immediate situations as well as for long-term care.

Foundations of Shamanism
Next Date TBA
The teachings of shamanism are more relevant than ever, as human history has brought us further and further from the most natural principles of walking peacefully and cooperatively on this planet. In this workshop, you will get introduced to the foundations of shamanism and learn how you can practically apply these to your day-to-day life.
You will also learn one of shamanism’s primary tools of empowerment and discovery - the shamanic journey. You will learn how to journey on your own and meet your Power Animal. Further, you will learn how to use shamanic journeying to directly connect and communicate with all nature spirits.
If you’re looking to distance yourself from the chaos and artificial world of modern life, and reconnect with your most native self, shamanism offers a powerful path forward.

A Night of Shamanic Journeying
Upcoming Date:
Friday, April 29, 6:30pm
@Circles of Wisdom, Methuen, MA
Shamanic journeying is an ancient technique used by indigenous people all across the globe that opens the doors of communication and interaction with the spiritual essence of all beings. It is a tool to explore the side of reality that lies beyond your primary five senses. Through journeying, you can greatly broaden and deepen your understanding of yourself and for all aspects of life.
This workshop will provide all you need to explore journeying on your own. We will cover the basics of journeying and then provide you several chances to practice. Connect with your Power Animal, commune with the spirits of nature, and receive the insight and healing that you most need.
No experience with shamanism or shamanic journeying necessary, just bring an open mind!
