Please join us for the last WDC Rhythms of Wellness series of 2026!
As one of the oldest practices on earth, the first nations around the world used the sound of the drum and rattle to enter into deep altered states of consciousness. These altered states connected them to other realms where they would communicate with the ancestors, power animals, as well as other helping spirits for higher guidance, spiritual power, protection and healing for their people. This is the core of all shamanic practices.
During this gathering you will experience the shaman way of journeying for insight and healing, while Theresa May drums and rattles for your journey. You will also be taught appropriate protocols for stringing the beads, and the journeying experience. Through the steady, rapid drum beat, you will enter a light trance state to journey into non-ordinary realities to meet and work with your helping spirits. You can journey from a chair if getting to the floor is not accessible to you. You will have 2 or 3 shamanic journeys. Each journey will focus on one area of inquiry.
Examples of inquiries:
Meet and journey with your spirit animal guardians
Ask for help to remember your life purpose and fulfill it
Ask for a healing or help with the healing process
Ask for help to restore wholeness on mother earth

About Core Shamanism: Core Shamanism, was defined by Michael Harner, an anthropologist, author and founder of The Foundations for Shamanic Studies. After studying human cultures worldwide, he discovered common threads of practices and tools used by each society. He dedicated his life to training western practitioners in the practice of self inquiry, divination that had been lost due to religious colonization. His foundation supports indigenous tribes, while continuing the research mapping out these other realms of non-ordinary reality.
