Experience the world of the shaman. This intensive outdoor experiential workshop teaches the healing use of the plants that grow all around us from a shamanic plant spirit medicine perspective, just as the Amazonian rainforest shamans have done for millennia. Learn to harness the powers of spirited plant medicines to heal themselves or others. Experience the sacred shamanic icaros (healing plant songs), and learn the healing limpias (ritual plant baths).

Participants will learn the technique of human-plant communication through the use of the ancient shamanic technique of drum journeying while outdoors in beautiful and powerful nature surroundings.

No previous experience of any kind is necessary, just an open mind and heart. Clinicians are welcome.

Participants must bring suitable layered outdoor clothing, sun/bug protection, plastic bags or mats for lying on the open ground, colored pencils/crayons, and drawing paper/notebook.

Recommended reading: Jungle Medicine by Connie Grauds, only available online through The Center for Spirited Medicine or 612-216-1747.

This program is a prerequisite for Apprenticeship in Shamanism. For information about the yearlong apprenticeship program, click here.

Connie, thank you for a magical and caring event! The insight and supportive input I received in the Pathfinder workshop created a true clarity and inspiration that have been a touchstone for me since. Even now, two years and many changes later, the insights and energy of the workshop are with me as I continue taking steps to align my life with my heart's purpose.—Susan, Richmond, CA.

Jungle Medicine…Spirited Work of the Heart: The "Give-and-Get" Path to Passion and Purpose

Do you want to do more of the spirited work of the heart you like to do, and less of the drudgery heartless work you don't?

During this Spirited Work retreat workshop, you will learn how the shamanic laws of energy flow and a spirited heart connection can take your life's work to the next level. Out goes boredom and fatigue, in comes passion and life purpose.

The secret of this process is positive reciprocal impact, the art of giving of yourself to get what you want in return.

Participants will learn the principles of C.O.R.E…a four-step process to spiriting your work and bringing forth your life's passion and purpose. The focus of this workshop will be “getting to the heart of the matter.” Experience the four chambers of the heart, and what wisdom is contained within. We will call upon the spirits of nature to inform us of our own nature…. that deep place within our hearts that is the fountain of truth and passion. Everyone will leave this workshop with a written statement of the purpose of their life.

Our retreat space will be in green and luscious Osceola at the Intelligent Nutrients (previously Aveda Spa) Retreat…a special, sacred place of magic, depth and heart. Once held sacred by the Native American tribes, the river, rocks and woods bless this area and its dwellings with great beauty and peace.
