Workshop: The Inner Shaman of Dream Time
Monday, January 25 - 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm & 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm

You are provided the skills that enhance your personal growth and wellbeing. We begin with discussing the role played by myth in shamanism, because indigenous shamans were and are the custodians of their society's myths. Shamans are socially designated practitioners who enter into "altered states of consciousness" to obtain insights, information and power not available to their peers, and to share these resources with their community. You are taken on guided imagery exercises to acquaint you with your own "inner shaman" -- a resource available in dreams, imagination, and other "altered states" that can assist self-healing, spiritual development and capacity for love and compassion.

Indigenous shamans transmit cultural myths. The "inner shaman" deals with personal myths, those rational and irrational belief systems that guide people's behavior and construct their worldview, sometimes for better and sometimes for worse. You will also experience how to modify or transform irrational beliefs, while reinforcing positive beliefs and engage in imagery rehearsal that helps implement your new personal mythology.

Goal: To provide skills enhancing personal growth and well-being.

Learning Objectives:

• To understand the myths and technologies underlying core shamanism,
• To use these technologies to enhance identification of personal myths, and
• To learn skills that help maintain and reinforce positive personal myths and
  revise or discard negative personal myths.
