Acupuncture is an alternative medicine that treats patients with the insertion and manipulation of thin, solid needles in the body. Since its origins in Ancient China, acupuncture has been embedded in the concepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Acupuncture therapy stimulates meridian flow and harmonizes the body’s energy to influence the health of both body and mind.

With the coming of organized religion and the onset of modern society, we, in the “developed” world, have, for the most part, lost this connection, connection with Spirit, connection with Nature, connection to the self. Through the ages, tribal, Shamanic cultures have practiced and kept the knowledge alive, knowledge which is now being shared once more. Shamanic practice does not have to be the sole preserve of the tribal Shaman, Shamanic journeying can be learned by anyone with a calling to learn and this workshop will give an introduction to the basic technique.

Participants will also be shown how to invoke and merge with your Guardian Spirit / Power Animal as a way to receive power (Spiritual vitality), healing and knowledge from them. The workshop lasts approximately 4 hours. Yoga mats and cushions are supplied, but you may want to bring a scarf or something to cover the eyes while journeying.
