What we’re about
Shamanic learning is experiential. Only when you have experience do you really have intelligent questions and insights based on a direct encounter with reality. In the West, however, we emphasize talking and explaining first; then maybe have an experience that validates what we decide is real.
This group is about learning and experiencing the powerful potential of shamanic techniques and rituals that can be practiced in everyday life. We encourage you to join us, to experience shamanic practice first-hand, and then to test what you learn in your everyday life. This is the way to incorporate spirit guidance and wisdom.
The group meets several times a month for drum journeys, trance practices, workshops, and retreats. This group does not use or advocate the use of psychogenic substances.
The core of this group has been meeting regularly since 2003, but everyone of all experience levels is welcome. As an established group, our circles are supportive, high-energy, and often astounding in content.
We meet weekly for explorations in shamanic journeying, healing ritual, music and movement, and other practices. There is something happening every week! Membership in this group is free. We do ask for a contribution of $10 per person to cover time and space rental for meetings.

An Important Note About Teacher Plants and Other Substances
As expressed above, this group does not advocate the use of psychogenic substances in any of our events. The reason for this is that the journey work we do is inherently trance-inducing and may be harmful to the person under the influence of such substances. In addition, such use generally is disruptive to the energy of the circle, as well as distracting to other participants.
Therefore, if someone attends any event under the influence of mind-altering drugs or other substances, they will be asked to leave. Repeated violations may result in the person being banned from the group.

Every one of us has moments when we step away from our inner path, through fear, pressure, old patterns, or relationships where our “yes” doesn’t feel like a true yes.
In this shamanic journey circle, we’ll explore what it feels like to come back into alignment with your Inner Authority, the part of you that knows your truth, stands in your free will, and walks your authentic path with clarity.
Within each of us is a path, a line of truth.
When we walk it, life feels spacious, grounded, and empowered. When we step off even slightly, we may feel drained, confused, or pulled by things that aren’t ours.
This evening offers a gentle, supportive space to reconnect with that inner path and learn just how much power you actually have.
Beginner-friendly. All are welcome.
The Shamanic Journey is a practice to reach in and touch, communicate and gain insight from an "other side". Journeying can connect you with spirit animals, ancestors and guides. It can also allow you to visit strange and not-so-strange places and discover new perspectives providing answers to your most pressing questions and needs.
If you know of anyone who can benefit from this group energy, you are invited to bring an intention for them. However, you can also simply come and combine your energy with the group intention. Previous Healing and Wellness Circles have been very powerful and productive on many levels.

If you are unfamiliar with Zoom, when you click on the link, you will be directed to download the free (and safe) Zoom application. It works on iPhones, Android, tablets, and computers. (You might do this ahead of time in case you encounter installation issues, which happens sometimes.) When you log in, your video and audio will be turned off. We would love to see you, though, so you can choose to turn your video on! Please leave your audio off unless you want to speak or ask a question. That reduces distracting background noise.
We hope that you are doing well. Please remember to rest and take care of yourself, and to be kind to others. We will all come through this working together.6 attendees- $15.00

Wolf Helper: A Deepening Journey Circle at Flow Yoga Westgate
Flow Yoga Westgate, 4477 S Lamar Blvd #420, Austin, TX, USWolf Helper: A Deepening Journey
at Flow Yoga Westgate
Hosted by Nate Long "Owl"
In this meditation on the Spirit of Wolf, we explore the shift from actively hunting for what we think we need to allowing what is meant for us to find its way into our lives. Wolf, the tracker and guide, reminds us that when we stand in our authenticity, we then naturally send our intentions out, without force, inviting the right people, opportunities, and insights to come toward us. To search for something versus letting that thing find us, we then can reflect on trust, openness, and the deeper meaning that emerges when we honor ourselves and allow Wolf to guide us in a more intuitive, soulful way.
This journey circle is designed to take you deeper: spiritually, intellectually, and emotionally. Each month, we will explore, together, a new idea, a new practice, and a new focus.

This Circle is for anyone interested in shamanic practice. Shamanism is not a religion or a dogma. It is not dependent on any particular organizational structure or belief system, but is a practical world view based on ancient understanding of the relationships between humans and nature or Spirit. The shamanic perspective on life and living is extremely relevant to the challenges and concerns of our modern world and ordinary life experiences, and is compatible with all religious and spiritual beliefs.

All the best. Be safe and well!
