Shamanic Shift Center - Events and Updates - June 2008
Greetings - and warming, re-energizing, leafy, flowering, sunny, starry, luny June days to all!
The Friday night 7PM Shamanic Circle resumes in ordinary reality this month. Calling ahead is required partly because there may be special activities or discussion/study meetings planned or a cancellation or rescheduling if a The Rev. Elizabeth needs to be away for a workshop or wedding rehearsal (when/if no one else is available to open and lead the circle).
Really...more about the calling or emailing ahead: Calling or emailing ahead by Thursday for attending the Friday night shamanic circle is required in order to activate the intention and begin shifting attentions for a formal ordinary-reality circle ahead of the last moment - the non-ordinary weaving of the throughts and blending of the energy-flows by Spirit and Spirits of everyone who has decided to gather, even if this is only 2 or 3 persons. If you show up without having called or emailed ahead you may or may not be invited in, on a case-by-case basis, even if there is a formal circle, depending upon the shamanic activity planned.
On Fridays when no one calls ahead I always shamanize through the non-ordinary with the cyber- and long-distance circles. But on those Friday nights I might connect with those circles non-ordinarily earlier (or later) in spacetime, then schedule something else for 7PM.
Call 414-289-8661 by Thursday each week to pre-register or call any day for more information. Use this contact form to open a conversation.
The Shamanic Shift Center Friday night circle is open to contemporary shamanizers of all levels of experience who pre-register by Thursday each week. Our circle does not practice or teach any traditional or indigenous (aboriginal) shamanisms from any land or planet or any Native American spirituality or religions, or any particular organized or alternative, esoteric or exoteric religion or spiritual tradition. This circle is for practicing, teaching, studying, and living adapted and innovative shamanic ways for shifting world and community situations and events toward better and best.
We draw from many sources in many fields. Therefore some of our shamanic practices may be inspired by traditional shamanic ways or (more likely) inspired by earlier modern-day adaptations of traditional shamanic ways but any connections will be very indirect and any similariy highly synchronistic. We do not borrow from or attempt to reconstruct any traditional shamanism through ordinary-reality.
Personal healing: Personal healing will happen too from our circle's shamanizing, even though this is no longer a central focus, for the global or community troubles each of us notices through the news media or out on our streets calling out for shamanic assistance all interconnect throughout the universe and within each of us, in and as all of our individual challenges. Our circle is ad hoc and informal and is usually small in numbers in ordinary reality even though a larger wider circle supports us every Friday and constantly through non-ordinary reality and the world wide web.
Other ways: Individuals who do practice some certain religious or spiritual way(s), whether shamanic or shamanistic or magical or mystical or metaphysical, from ancient to newage, are welcome in Shamanic Shift Center's Friday night shamanic circle too. But our circle, as it gathers, is for practicing, teaching, studying, and living new shamanic ways for global and community healing. (Blending and synergizing with other healing and transforming teachings and ways can occur ongoingly through everyone's daily life as each is guided by Spirit and the Spirits.)
