APRIL DINNER

Date: Wednesday, April 22, 2026
(5:30-7:30pm)

​Topic: Connecting with the World through Shamanism

Join us as we make a shallow dive into the spiritual practice of shamanism. From historical evidence of our earliest ancestors to contemporary teachers of shamanic practice, honed by personal experience and life practice over many years; we will explore with guidance the fundamental aspects of this cross-cultural practice. By the end of the evening, I hope to leave you with an understanding of shamanism that is framed in integrity, respect, and a deep reverence for the seen and unseen worlds that we live in, and how as a spiritual practice it can empower us all.
