One can learn Shamanic technique to help them in their own spiritual journey, its a little more work if one is going to become a practicing Shaman and work with other people too. Nature is my greatest teacher and learning to communicate with Nature is my greatest joy too. I wish you well on your path, Rowan. In Ireland Rowan is the name of a tree, the wild mountain ash tree.

I was blessed to meet my shamanic teacher about seven years ago, quite by accident, as I took the session with her in the place of someone was unable to attend the appointment, but I had been searching for this for most of my life.

I requested apprenticeship with Cáit Branigan, an Irish speaking wise woman, immediately after that first session realising this was the right thing to do and I am just completing that process now. I believe it is important to connect with a teacher within ones own culture, even though this practice does transcend nationalities. Shamanism has facilitated change in my life at the deepest level, and is intimately connected to our relationships with our fellow community of beings, including human, animal plant and other natural forms not widely considered sentient.

I love facilitating meaningful conversation, and world cafe has brought me so much joy, but now my attention is turning towards deepening my understanding and practice of council and circle work, which I wish to develop and utilise within the Transition Movement centring on the Heart and Soul aspects.

I look forward to connecting with other practitioners here.

At 9:40pm on March 18, 2011, Christina Foster said…: Hi Rowan. Thank you for your welcome. I share your interest in the transforming role of nature. I've known this is true since my childhood. As an adult I've participated in vision quests and lead wilderness trips for youth and adults. My focus these days is on how AoH can help transform public education. I hope we get a chance to meet someday.

Thanks for your comment and me me feel welcome in this space. I was attending the Ecovillage Design Education (EDE) course last oktober 2010 at Findhorn. The following months ahead I will go back to Findhorn to live and work there.

Please tell me more about your connection with Findhorn and the ecovilage network.

Reconnecting with nature.....

The other day I met a met a street musician playing the didgeridoo. He was having a big tattoo on his back with the following text...

What makes money people do to each other if the earth is our mother and everyone is our brother?

This question was spinning in my mind and heart for weeks, this brought me to a visionary question that I can relate to my own life.

Imagine.......

You live on a earth were money nor goods or services were used as vehicles to exchange value...........

What is the essence of value for you in this reality and how do you express and exchange it with others?

I might organize and co-host an "Art of hosting" session around this subject.

What do you think?

All the best,

Dominique
