The Thirteen Moons

Living the Shamanic Life – contact course
The Buddha, when asked about the value of other spiritual paths and religions, said, “Life is living on the shore of a great ocean and Paradise is on the other side of that ocean. For us to get to Paradise we construct many boats, when we arrive on the shores of Paradise, the boat is discarded.”
Spirituality is the intention, connection and yearning for that far shore. The manifestation of that spiritual relationship is what we understand as religion – the building and sailing of the boat, whereas spirituality is more about the journey and the relationship between shore and shore.
We make many styles of boats, sometimes on our own and often with others; the only value of the boat is that it will get us to the distant shore. 
Shamanism is not one of these boats, more the wind in the sails, not the sea chart, more the reading of the map.
Shamanism is a way of life that is connected to the dance and song of Divine and Creation.
Shamanic life and practice has more often than not been the driving force of many religious practices.
The 13 Moons Course is to understand and to immerse into that life, so that as a Shamanic (one who lives a shamanic life) we come to understand boats and shores; to understand the yearning to build the boat!
The course will follow the 13 moons of the lunar year, each moon bringing its own teaching and wisdom. The course is underpinned by The Wolven Path Lineage Tradition
This ‘Celtic Tradition’ is one of cycle and reflection. The Wolven Way Shamanic Tradition is concerned with a more insightful and intuitive relationship with the observed universe and all aspects of that universe - animal, human, environmental, geographical, spiritual, psychological and imagined.  By tuning into this relationship our lives become a more balanced and peaceful journey.
The aim of the course is to open and connect students to a deeper understanding of living in a Shamanic way and in relationship with the world around them. This course will not and cannot make anyone a Shamanic Practitioner or Shaman. The course is intended for personal awareness, healing and becoming.
The student will learn through shamanic techniques and journeys, ceremonies and exercises about the Celtic Shamanic principles that hold this balance and the levels of consciousness that open a deeper communicative relationship with the world around them – opening an awareness of the qualities of the four elemental energies that will focus and empower their lives. It will connect them to the Wisdom and teachings of the world around them as guided by the energies of the 13 moons.
This is not a ‘qualifying’ training, rather a journey of personal spiritual healing and quest.
This Course runs for one day a month and begins every March. Please email for further information or to reserve a place.
