Shamanic Journeying 

Exploring Our Themes Through Shamanic Practice
The Soul Matters Shamanic Journeying Group for Oct. 2024-Feb. 2025 is now full.
To join a wait list in case of cancellations, and to hear about future shamanic journeying groups,
please reach out to Rev. Laura at [email protected]. Thank you!
This monthly-meeting small group will explore our monthly themes through shamanic practices. Led by UU minister and shamanic practitioner, Rev. Laura Horton-Ludwig, participants will learn and practice in the tradition of Core Shamanism, using a safe and ethical method of steady drumming that helps your mind shift into a more meditative state. 

​You do not have to have previous experience with Shamanism or shamanic journeying.

Can you tell me more about shamanic journeying?
The basic practice involves journeying in your mind to what Rev. Horton-Ludwig's tradition calls “non-ordinary reality,” the home of countless compassionate helping spirits. You’ll get to meet them and form relationships with them that can endure and grow for the rest of your life.

What else happens in the group?
You will get to know your fellow group-mates at a deep and powerful soul-level, as you share what you experienced in our various in-group journeys. You’ll also have a chance to receive shamanic healing for yourself or, with their permission, for people you care about. 

You can get a more detailed understanding of the group by watching Rev. Horton-Ludwig's overview video below.
