This two-day workshop
teaches
participants to make a variety of shamanic tools, from smudge fans to
rattles to
amuletic jewelry and more. Shamanic journeying experience is required.
We journey to our allies for
guidance on
what we are to make, so every item is unique. Even people with no
artistic
experience have taken this class and produced exceptionally fine tools
with
which to enhance their shamanic practice. Participants are encouraged
to bring
materials such as beads, feathers, and so on with which to work, and
there is a
fine local bead store which we visit when we teach the class in the
Athens area.
We usually also bring some supplies with us. Bekki teaches peyote
stitch and
brick stitch beadwork for those who want to use them for decoration. If
you have
signed up for one of these classes we encourage you to call us for
guidance on
what to bring, and to discuss potential projects with us.
Crow
can often be persuaded to teach his Sacred
Roadkill mini-workshop during this workshop, showing people safe
ways of
rescuing and processing road-killed animals to reclaim them for sacred
use. He
also gives his lecture on the legal aspects of rescuing road-kill.
Occasionally we also teach the Spirit House mini-workshop
as part of this workshop as well.
Advance registration is
required to attend all Church of Earth Healing
classes and workshops. See the Schedule
for
when and where Shamanic Tool Making is next offered.
