In this episode of the Earth Keepers Podcast, we explore an important and often overlooked question in shamanic and spiritual practice: Are you shamanic journeying, or are you dissociating? You’ll learn the key differences between a healthy shamanic journey state and dissociation, why staying embodied matters when working with the spirit world, and how to journey safely, consciously, and in partnership with the Spirits of the Land.
And be sure to mark your calendar for Thursday, February 12th at 3pm Central Time for this month’s hands-on workshop on Zoom: Shamanic Journeying with the Land
Together we will practice receiving intuitive information in a journey state, meet an animal guide in the Lower World and then experience the Middle World with the Spirits of the Land.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have the skills you need to shift your consciousness into the liminal realms and begin communicating and working with the Spirits of the Land where you live or anywhere you visit.
