Weather Shamanism:
A Spiritual Path of Personal Growth and Global Healing (Level 1)
Nan Moss and David Corbin
May 10 - 11, 2008
Mt. Shasta, CA
Prerequisite: Good shamanic journeying skills.
The weather is one of the most influential forces in our world. It permeates every facet of our lives, as well as shaping the course of history. As shamanic practitioners our role is to understand and work with all the powers of nature, including the weather.
This workshop is an exploration to learn more about these awesome powers. It is an opportunity to initiate harmonious relationships – partnerships – with the Spirits of Weather.
Weather shamanism is not about controlling the weather. It is about Power, but not “power-over”. Shamans are healers, and our goal in this workshop is to heal our relationship with weather. Through journeying and ceremony, we work with the Spirits of Weather directly to find out what they can teach us, what they want from us, and how we can all work together to help the world return to a path of balance and well-being.

Shamanism and the Spirits of Nature
An Advanced Weekend Workshop
Beth Beurkens, M.A.
Saturday, June 7, 10:00 AM - 5:30 PM
Sunday, June 8, 9:30 AM - 5:00 PM
Mount Shasta, California
Course Description: From ancient times, shamans have worked with the spirits of nature for healing, survival, and knowledge. By learning from the plants and animals, from the rocks and mountains, from the winds and waters, and from the sun, moon, and stars, shamans helped their peoples live in harmony with the universe. In a world now out of balance, the way of the shaman can teach how again to respect nature, our Planet, and its inhabitants at a deep spiritual level. As our ancestors everywhere once knew, our survival depends on the survival of the other species. By working together intensively through shamanic journeys and other spiritual experiences, we will dedicate ourselves to working in both nonordinary and ordinary reality to restore and maintain a living Planet.
