Shamanic
Retreat: Connecting with our Cosmic Community
Facilitated by Jeanne Marie Troge, MA
November 4, 5, 6th, 2011
Friday at 5pm to Sunday at 1pm
Camp
Knutson, Crosslake, MN
This
retreat is for all past and present students who have studied with me over
these many years and others. Many of you have asked for a reunion with further
training and this will be the focus of this retreat. While the training is
directed toward those who have studied with me, others are also welcomed as
long as they know how to journey and have a good working relationship with
their power animals.
In
this training we will work with community—our own and our cosmic community.
Prior to the beginning of the retreat I will ask you to ask your spirit helpers
for dreams that will direct the agenda for this weekend and ask you to share
them with me so that I can incorporate your wisdom into this training. I have
had a dream that has directed me to hold this retreat and to bring together the
“pavers”, those who will be paving the way for others into our new world.
In
this training we will talk about community and experience several group
journeys that connect us to one another in this world. We will also experience
connection with the cosmic world. It is my hope that we may have some direct
connection with the star beings who worked with our ancient ancestors and who
continue to work with us today. We will look at how shamanism can address the
earth changes and help to bring healing to all those who are holding onto the
old ways of being that will no longer work in our world. I don’t have the full
agenda yet but am working with my spirit helpers and star beings on bringing
forth a training that will speak to all our hearts so that we may be loving
vessels of light to all those who seek our help. The times require that we come
together. The time is now. If you feel called to this training, I encourage you
to attend, as we need you and the world needs you!
We
will learn through drumming, journeying, healing, dancing, singing, and deep
connection. You are encouraged to bring your healing tools and your musical
instruments. (drums, flutes, rattles, tambourine, etc.) Weather permitting we
will have an outdoor fire ceremony on Saturday night. I’m hoping for a clear
sky that we might also invite our cosmic community to dance around the fire
with us.
We
will be meeting at Camp Knutson in Cross Lake MN (by Brainerd). (). I know that many of you have been there in the past and
know it to be a beautiful, nourishing environment. Lodging accommodations are
