Experience Shamanic Trance Dance
with Rick Gossett and Shiela Baker

We dance for healing, for joy, for any reason at all. Our Soul knows the steps. When we awaken Spirit, It takes us out of our heads and into our hearts. Come journey into the Spirit world to find your intention.

Using the disciplines of creative improvisation, ecstatic, trance, and long dances we expand the body's repertoire intuitively connecting to the healing powers of Spirit. With heartbeat rhythms and transformational breathing we remember who we truly are -- that is why we dance!

SHIELA BAKER and RICK GOSSETT are delighted to bring Shamanic Trance Dance to you!

Shiela is a RN, Tantra teacher, minister, psychotherapist and Shaman. Her book, Practical Shamanism, is a guidebook for learning the most powerful tool of the shaman, the journey. She teaches locally and abroad.

Rick is a trained psychotherapist and Marriage and Family Counselor and Cross-cultural Shaman who has practiced in the Skagit Valley for the last 35 years. He has written extensively in the field and taught internationally. Participants are asked to bring water, a journal, a bandanna and a snack.

Shamanic Healing Circles

Healing circles have been forming for thousands of years. History and stories are passed on in the circle often around a fire. In ancient times Shaman journeyed on behalf of an individual or for the tribes’ well-being. Today, you can learn to use this old healing wisdom for your own health and happiness.

Shamanic journeying is a powerful psychotherapy modality. In my personal experience it was the journey that taught me how to heal. In my professional career I notice that in the journey we learned a new way of being. Not necessarily what caused the trauma but how to come away from the experience and find a way to be whole.

In my opinion, re experiencing a traumatic event is abusive. In 1994 I learned about Shamanism and the healing benefits of journeying and began teaching others to journey. In 1997 after my first Vision Quest I “quit my day job” and have been facilitating healing ever since.

Now when we are in tough times it is my honor and responsibility to share this with you as a gift. Our first session in this process is free. Please come and see if journeying is for you and part of your path of healing.

SHAMANIC MEDITATION - Steps to Stillness

A happy person is in harmony with himself and his environment.

Ancient shamanic cultures lived close to nature. Life today is fast paced. Meditation is proven to regenerate our senses and fill us with potential. Modern Shamanic meditation is a bridge from frenzy to focus. Spiritual guidance and peace are the gifts of shamanic meditation. Connection with spirit brings a playful creative focus. Consciously set an intention and gain insights.

Our imagination is home to creative thought. Gently guided imagery leads you into a comfortable, safe place. In this sanctuary awareness provides a connection to your birthrite: a life of grace and ease.

In shamanic meditations we experience relief from trauma and carry that into our everyday life. The mind is more calm reducing stress and the body responds by lowering the blood pressure and allows for more restful sleep.

No longer responding in old ways we create happiness in spite of our hectic pace.
