Journeying is an ancient practice of shamans (medicine people) in which they learn to change their state of consciousness at will in order to enter into the other levels of consciousness and received Divine guidance and healing. It is here that we connect deeply with Spirit on a personal level and can receive guidance for our lives. Join us as we journey to meet our Power Animal/Spirit Helper.

  • With Kathy Ginn
  • 10:00am – 5:00pm | 6 CE Hours (includes state requirements |
    Fee $120 ($100 if pd 2 weeks prior)
  • The heart of ethics is human relationships – the capacity to enter into a simple caring presence with your client, using your power with awareness and skill. The class begins by exploring the multiple dynamics of the power differential within the therapeutic relationship. Offering a space of gentleness and support, each participant will have the opportunity to reflect on one's personal relationship with power. The class continues to explore the delicate interaction between client and therapist to include: dual role relationship, personal limits and boundary concerns, proper table talk, the entrapment of helping too much which often leads to burn-out, written practice policies, informed consent, skills of awareness, polarity of the heart, and developing a simple caring presence. Within an atmosphere of safety and support, participants are encouraged to talk about real life situations and concerns. Kathy brings her passion and warmth to the classroom environment. *Class is experiential in nature. To help support your learning, this course weaves together lecture, art expression, music, story, community dialogue and quiet reflection.
