Shamanic Journey Meditation 

​

Guided By Dr. Dena Deglau (Illaris Ch’aska - Shaman name from Paq’o Shaman of the high Andes) 

 

A circle has long been a beautiful, sacred space of support, release and healing. This guided journey will help you hear your soul and release things that no longer serve you. Releasing what is no longer in our highest good helps create a beautiful space of peace, and room for calling in those aspects of our souls that are ready to be heard and take us in new directions. During this event you will create a compost board to help release those energies to Gaia (Mother Earth, Pachamama). 

​

Free, but registration is required.  Space is limited.
