Shamanic Playshops

Communicating with your Chakras
– Playshops series
By exploring and gaining a deeper understanding of your chakras, you will learn more about yourself and acquire tools that will help you in your daily life.
A one-day playshop of introductory journeys into each of the seven main Chakras and their associations. Go beyond the basic symbology of these energy centers and explore to see what messages or answers your chakras may hold. Through shamanic breathing techniques, journeying, and/or meditation, this playshop will help you establish a communication system with your chakras, discovering meaning and messages each chakra contains for you on your growth path.
Separate in-depth playshops on each Chakra this is an advanced series of Playshops. We explore in-depth each of the seven most recognized chakras – Root, Navel, Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat, Brow (3rd Eye), and Crown. The various attributes (or associations) connected to each chakra are explored, as well as discovering unique tools, colors, or symbols to assist in healing. The most revealing, however, is the self-discovery questions used in the journey bringing knowledge, growth, and healing.

What are these Aspects?
The Aspects of Self-present within us are viewed like a program operating a computer, or as in business operation with department managers working together. Our personality Aspects need to cooperate with each other to best assist us in functioning and responding to our environment and experiences in life.
Who are they?
The primary Aspects present in a human being are: Heart Self, Emotional Self, Ego Self, Critic Self, Mental Self, Divine Feminine Self, Divine Masculine Self, Shadow Self, Injured Self, Injured Child Self, Sexual Self, Spiritual Self and Fearful Self. There are additional aspects that may be present in an individual, such as Enabler Self, Empathic Self, Healer Self, Saboteur Self, etc.
Where are they?
In a normal person, these Aspects of Self are scattered and disconnected within the person. This disconnect prevents the person from being in their center, being present, and functioning at one’s best cohesive self.
Where should the Aspects of Self be in me?
In our Heart Center. As human beings, we are learning to live our lives in balance, through our heart. Gathering Aspects from their scattered locations and bringing them back to Heart Center allows them to assist us in living life in balance through our heart.
Benefits
With the recovery and relocation of your Aspects of Self to your Heart Center, your department managers (Aspects) begin to work and function together as a team for you, the Conscious Self. This process allows a real-time ability in you to know how and why you are reacting the way you are to life and take immediate corrective action as needed.
Animal Spirit Guide(s)
An animal spirit guide will be necessary to work with you in this process. If you do not have one, you will be assisted in connecting with your animal spirit guide.
Host a Retreat
If there is a small focus group (4-6) interested in attending this three-day retreat, I will be happy to work with you as the host and travel to you. Participants can attend during the day and be in their homes at night, or an actual retreat setting can be arranged. Additional costs for travel and accommodations required.
Individual Shamanic Intensive Retreats
These individual retreats are an immersion in learning the Shamanic ways for significant self-healing, growth, and movement in your life. An instrumental aspect of this is removing fears, resistances, blockages, and unhealthy patterns, thereby allowing movement into your center of power, freeing creativity, and opening your abilities. What you gain and accomplish in this retreat is invaluable and a true investment in yourself.
This intensive process is like a rebirthing of self. You will create and explore a place for rejuvenation, where you learn to communicate and conference with your Guides, ask questions, listen for information, grow in awareness at many levels. The tools and abilities you develop will serve you all your life. The Intensive Retreat is a powerful vehicle filled with joy in the discoveries along the way.

Client Testimonials
Two testimonials about Aspects of Self that reveal the benefits of this unique playshop.
“The aspect workshop was one of the most powerful experiences in my life. Identifying my personal aspects has helped me to understand, respect and even change my reactions to situations which arise in my life. I feel as if this one weekend was more effective than years of therapy! I highly recommend this experience – especially if you want to gain a clearer perspective of who you are and why you do the things that you do. This is a wonderful opportunity to open your mind, open your heart and learn to love yourself!”
Peter, NJ“The Aspects of Self play shop was one of the most rewarding experiences I have had thus far in my quest for spiritual enlightenment. It is not just a workshop but an opportunity for growth, renewal and awakening. To my own surprise I had many experiences while journeying and this did not require any prior knowledge or know how. l had many life changing experiences that weekend. The Aspects of Self workshop is a weekend that I will never forget. It is a weekend of self-discovery that cannot be compared to anything else. What makes it so special is that what you acquire that weekend is something you can use for the rest of your life. [It] equips your “spiritual tool belt” with not only knowledge but with the actual tools you need to pursue your own healing. The Aspects workshop is not something you could ever put a dollar sign on because what I learned that weekend is priceless. That weekend I found my own value and self-worth. Something I did not even know was missing until I found it! I would highly recommend any workshop/playshop (playshop because they are that fun too!) that Shamanic Connection offers because they are coming from a place of love and true healing.”
