with Lenore Norrgard, MA, Harner Method Shamanic Counselor
Shamanism is an ancient spiritual practice native to every inhabited continent on earth. While the spirits of place and the flavor of the practice vary from culture to culture, the heart of shamanic practice is essentially the same.
Through shamanic practice you can encounter a hidden realm: The spirit world - non-ordinary reality - where power animals, spirit helpers, ancestors and spirit teachers reside. Through learning the discipline of shamanic journeying, you can visit the spirit world and receive counsel and healing to enhance your life and work on this planet.
Upcoming offerings in Portland, Seattle and the San Francisco Bay Area are listed below. Lenore also is available to come to your community to teach, and please inquire about online and teleclass instruction through this site.Lenore is a brilliant teacher, and I am delighted she is sharing such profound work.

Introduction to
Medicine for the EarthFriday, May 9, 2008
7-8:30 p.m.
New Renaissance Bookshop
1338 NW 23rd Avenue, PortlandMiracles are within our reach with Medicine for the Earth, a new practice for measurably transmuting physical toxins through spiritual practices.
While science is overwhelmed with the magnitude of environmental imbalances needing correction, there are age-old spiritual practices for creating miracles--healings that cannot be explained by Cartesian science, but now may be understood by cutting-edge quantum physics.
This evening you will learn the seven-part spiritual formula for transmuting physical toxins, whether they occur in your own body or in the environment around us. Experiential exercises will introduce your body-mind to the truth of these teachings.
Come experience your own divinity, and learn how embodying your sacred self, right here and now, on this planet, purifies our bodies and our Gaia-home of the pollutants we've created. The time has come to use the spiritual powers that are our birthright to remember who we are, and thus bring ourselves and our beautiful, imperiled earth back into balance and wholeness.
Bringing the earth back into balance may be beyond science, but collectively we have the power to heal the earth, and we begin--NOW.Tuition: $12
Registration: in person, online or by phone through New Renaissance Bookshop, 503.224.4929--or at the door.
