Personalized, shamanically "worked" ceremonial tools are a necessity
for any powerful reliable shamanic practice. In this two-day class we will build
the two most important "tools of the trade", a drum and a rattle.
The drum will be a Native American style, hand held hoop drum. We will be using elk raw hide for the drum head and maple drum hoops. Drum beaters will also be built using deer skin and bamboo. If you desire, Gwilda will shamanically attune your drum to your personal birth cord.
The rattle head will be made of elk raw hide. Various furs and leathers will
be available for decoration. There will also be an assortment of traditional
objects to put inside and give your rattle its voice. We will cover in depth
shamanic "working" of sacred tools, a skill that then can be applied
to any other tools you care to create in the future.
All tools needed, will be provided. There will be a materials fee which covers
both the drum and rattle.

True manifestation begins with destruction. This program is a seasonal gathering
based upon the Celtic holiday Samhain. Traditionally, during this time, shamanic
practitioners gather together to break up energies that cause disruption and
misfortune and create clear space in which to manifest for the following year.
This is an ancient responsibility to their tribe, embraced in some form by
shaman of all cultures.
During our time together, the hidden principles of, and energy behind manifestation
will be covered in depth.
The evening of the last day of the program we will perform an ancient ritual
(generously brought to us by Tom Cowan's teachings) "The Battle of the
Evil Fomorians". All Path Home students and graduates will be invited
to join us in this ancient ceremony for and in responsibility to our people.

Our culture has been so long without shamanic healing that most clients haven’t a clue what ails them or how to make sense of soul retrieval once they have had one. Furthermore, they often are so identified with the defense mechanisms developed to compensate for soul loss that a form of identity crisis may follow the healing.
This class is designed to teach the skills of stewarding clients through this sometimes challenging time.

The drum is the best friend of the shamanic practitioner. Drumming grounds us, takes us on our journeys, focuses healings and integrates spiritual work into our bodies. The trick is...playing it and walking at the same time!
This class is designed with that very dilemma in mind. The side benefits are an unexpected left brain – right brain integration and a stretching of what we think is possible for us rhythm-wise.

"Fragmentation and the resulting rift in our personal space create specific recurring patterns and events that run like threads through our lives." -Gwilda Wiyaka
During this advanced 3-day residential workshop we will explore a powerful technique, developed by Gwilda over her years as a shamanic practitioner. It involves a unique method of journeying into life patterns to track down soul loss and hidden judgments and enchantments that cripple our lives.
Time will be spent on honing our middle world journey skills to better "read" a client or ourselves in order to locate clues and insights into soul loss and the resulting compensations. This information, in turn, can be used to help integrate soul parts and better understand the unconscious use of personal energy.
We will work on empathic listening skills as well as spiritual counseling methods that are the hallmark of this powerful work.

By popular demand, this 2-day nonresidential class will prepare the shamanic student to deal with birth, dying and helping spirits cross the veil after death. A once long lost and now little practiced art, psycopomping (helping the dead cross) is much needed in our culture where people are no longer aided in crossing and often fail to find their way.
