Listing of Global Shamanic Circles
In our travels from Alaska to Israel, Mongolia to California, let us connect with shamanic circles everywhere, drumming, rattling, singing praise to the spirits of the homelands, journeying to the ancestors who await our visit, building harmonious and healthy relationships with other beings all around Mother Earth. This is the web of life. We are awakening and exploring a global shamanic community in the New Millennium.

LONDON
Open Drumming Group
The London Open Drumming Group was set up in June 1997. We meet every month in Vauxhall, London. Our group's aim is to provide a safe and sacred environment for people to practise core shamanic techniques:
we work with drum and rattle, with dance and song and of course with the shamanic journey to the Spirit World. We are a space for newcomers to shamanism to develop their shamanic work.

We have created both somewhere to work with serious issues, to develop this path we walk with our spirits, and a relaxing environment where we can talk about our shamanic experiences with other practitioners. Members of the group are expected to be responsible for themselves, and it should be emphasised that this is not a therapy group.

All members of this email group are able to attend as they have either attended a basic workshop, or have worked shamanically with someone known to the organisers. As a minimum attendees should have attempted an Upper World journey, a Lower World journey and to journey for another person.

Please bring rattle, a scarf, something to sit/lie on, and a packedlunch. We ask for £5 towards the cost of the space and tea/coffee.The nearest tube and train is Vauxhall station.

Members are expected to contribute to one meeting per year. This cantake many form such as a journey you have always wanted to do, a ritual, a theme for the day . Please contact Karen or David with your ideas or activities. It would be useful if you could let one of us know if you are coming- that way we can plan the day more effectively and alert you to any homework that you may need to bring.Please find below the revised dates of the London Open Drumming group.Please note the changes to April and May.

"Meets on the second Saturday of each month. Each time we meet has a theme - recent ones have included healing, artwork and storytelling. "

Visitors Welcome!!!
We are an increasing in numbers group of individuals who do shamanic healing. We cover a large geographical region of northeastern Finland. The roots of our shamanic practise is in Nature, the Sky, our Ancestors, and Spirit Helpers. We come from a variety of backgrounds: cattle keeper, researcher, therapists, student, nature guide, teacher, theater director, military, housewife, to name a few! Our goal is to work with
our Spirit Helpers, healing for others and Nature. We gather at least once per month for several hours; plan long day meetings and adventures; and plan to be outside more than inside whenever possible; work with Drum; work with sending healing and power; work with supporting one another on this path of Life.

Requirements to join our group: If you haven't been to a "basic workshop", you must be able to journey in a disciplined manner, know at least one spirit helper, know how to work with a partner. We have decided that we don't want to teach people how to journey when we meet.

Earth Blessings to You All!

I remember a world where the crash of ocean
waves carries the voice of our Mother,
the soft light of the moon is Her gift to us,
and every living being is my relative.
I remember a world in which the call of an
owl, the flight of a heron, and the sound of
the wind through the trees have meanings too
deep to tell.
I remember a world where dreams run deep,
life runs slow, and eternity
unfurls itself on a spiral.
I remember...

PORTUGAL
Lisbon and Oporto
The Karneyos Drumming and Ritual Circle
Our circle is based in the hedge-ride shamanism which is an application of the "core shamanism" techniques in the context of ancient and ecstatic witchcraft. We treasure the emphasis on the supernatural context of the German and Celt religiosity, but encourage every member to follow their own path according to their connection with the spirits.

Our circle's work is based on sharing and learning from each others personal experiences. We meet once a month in one of each member's Place of Power and practice ritual ceremonies, drumming and healing techniques. Our circle's name comes from the Hispanic Divinity Carneios, or Karneyus, mostly know among the Celtic cultures as Cernunnos or Karnayna, the name of the esoteric project that tutors this shamanic circle. We do take in consideration the study of our ancestor's beliefs and their cults and thus embrace not only what our atavic vision brings us from times long gone, but also what came to be reminiscent in Lusitanian cults and practices.

In case you are considering visiting us and taking part in one of our monthly gatherings, please contact me by phone or through email. Contact: Melusine, phone: +351 962570160, or email:Melusine@projectokarnayna.com We will be most glad to answer your questions and enlighten you a bit further about our Circle.

SPAIN
TARRAGONA, CATALUÑA
Shaman Group Therapy: Energetic Alignment
Energetic alignment is a therapy that takes its origin from the shaman tribes in Amazonia and that adapted its cure technique to the western world, getting rid of a few of traditional rituals such as absorbing plants for example. We all vibrate to a determined sequence of which the Universe is responding by pairing us off with people or situation which frequency is similar to ours. Doubts, fears and contradictory objectives take away from our experience field what we really wish, what is really good for ourselves. The shaman channels and incorporates in his energetic camp those low frequency vibrations, and with the help of the spiritual dimension, send it back to us enlightened and cured, helping us to harmonize our own life.

2 Brazilian shamans, Carlos Henrique Alves and Leticia Tui come to Spain every 2 or 4 months to help people bring harmony to their life. They organize what is called in Spanish: "rueda de cura" best translated as "wheel of Cure" which gathers a group of people who gets treated and actively participate to the shaman treatment. The group therapy is opened to anyone. For more information please

SWEDEN
Malmoe/Lund
Hi,
We are a little group in the south part of Sweden, i. e. Skane, and we have been working together for about two years. We try to mix together core shamanism with our native knowledge of herbal and spirit work. We don't do workshops, because we're still learning ourselves. The group meets on unregular basis but always on every third month. We work a lot in the deep forests of our country but also in municipal areas depending of the occasion and type of work. The group is open to guests or newcomers but you should have a basic understanding of shamanism.
Welcome to join the group!
