One of the core tools of a shaman is the ability to alter their state of consciousness, and through that altered state to travel to other realms. These altered states can be used to find healing or insight, to search for knowledge or wisdom. In this one day workshop we will explore three different methods of achieving these altered states, and different ways of working within them. We will use practices from Tibetan, Celtic and Sufi traditions. My goal is that you will be able to take these tools home with you for your own personal use. 

No plant medicines are involved.

Crossing the threshold - the Celtic Sweatlodge
In any process of change or self discovery there is a moment, an unavoidable moment when you are asked to pass through a doorway. If you choose to take that step you know that the one on the other side will not be the same as the one who is here now. This is the essence of the Celtic Sweatlodge ceremony. You are guided to a doorway. An invitation is made. You are given the chance to choose. If you are called to this ceremony you know in your heart that something is ready. Ready for insight, ready for discovery, ready to let go of pain or grief.

The Celtic sweatlodge ceremony is a powerful tool for spiritual growth. It challenges you to take an honest look at who you are and who you want to be. The ceremony calls on you to show your power and find your deepest surrender. In that state of surrender you will be guided to rebirth, to the path of your soul.

I have been leading the Celtic sweat lodge for more than twenty years throughout Scandinavia. I have seen people transformed and healed during the ceremony again and again. Every ceremony is unique, a weave created by the circle called to travel together on their journey through the lodge.
