The Shamanic Ritual evening at OBSERVATORY has been rescheduled for next Wednesday, Feb 17th at 7:30pm.
Shamanic Ritual with Itzhak Beery
Where: OBSERVATORY, 543 Union St, Brooklyn (enter through Proteus Gowanus gallery gates on Nevins St)
Date: Wednesday, February 17th
Time: 7:30pm
Admission: $8
Phantasmaphile is honored to present an evening ritual with Shaman Itzhak Beery, co-founder of the NY Shamanic Circle.
This ceremony will focus on Meeting
Power Animal Spirits: The Journey to Non-Ordinary Realities
Participants will be introduced to the principles
of the shamanic belief system. The workshop teaches the techniques
of shamanic journeying which is used by shamans to enter non-ordinary
realities. Participants will learn to travel to the other worlds
to obtain personal Power animal spirits, to connect with these spirits,
and to retrieve specific knowledge. This knowledge can be used in
our world to heal, to settle disputes, to communicate between the
living and the dead, to create abundance, and to pray for the well-being
of the environment, for others and ourselves.
Accompanied by drumbeat, participants learn to journey to the animal
energies and shape-shift into them, allowing each person to merge
with their animal nature—a reflection of our innermost self
that represent those qualities we need most in this world, but which
are often hidden, or repressed.
***Please bring a pillow, towel, or cushion to sit on.
