Because we are part of nature, rather than separate from it, our bodies have innate rhythms that sync with daily, monthly, and seasonal cycles. When we acknowledge these rhythms and make choices to live in honor of them, we can increase our natural well-being and vitality in both physical and mental/emotional ways.

The science of chronobiology studies periodic activity in our physiology and our adaptations to modern living (artificial light from computers, for instance).

What is shamanism? Where is it from? How exactly does one become a shaman? Anthropologists tell us that the word ""shaman"" derives from the Tungus language and traditions, but few people understand the full scope of what that means.

This comprehensive class will also cover North Asian shamanic cosmology/mythology, shamanic tools, and practical concepts/methods that attendees can incorporate in their own practices.

In this workshop we will focus on exoticism, cultural appropriation, and the demonization of BIPOC practices common to mainstream magickal communities. The goal is to engage in good faith discussion and begin the process of concrete change for the benefit of all.
