Shamanic Bridge Retreat- 2 day intro to Shamanism - Birmingham

Set nestled in the forest canopy of the beautiful Sutton Park, we invite you to join us on a path of discovery, ready to shed limiting beliefs and step into who you really are in a safe, welcoming and uplifting environment, facilitated by Charmaine Davis, Shamanic Practitioner, Qualified Phsycotherapist and coach.

This 2 day course is suitable for beginners and those who wish to deepen their existing skills and personal practice. Shamanism is an ancient practise that spans the globe and has helped people to heal, grow and live in peace for thousands of years. It is my honour and privilidge to share these ancient practices with you to enhance your daily life by living with intent and awareness.

At the end of the 2 days you will receive a certificate of completion. Should shamanism resonate with you and you decide you would like to embark on the 4 year Luminous Medicine Wheel training programme, this will begin in April 2025. This allows a few months of integration and practice, so you can make a fully informed decision.

It is a beautiful 2 days with lots of tears, laughter, reflection, release, sharing, developing and growth. The shamanic path is not easy, but it is always worth it. Deepening our connection to ourselves, each other, spirit and Pacha Mama (Mother Earth). I look forward to meeting you and sharing these ancients wisdoms and practices with you.

What you can expect.

This is a dynamic 2 day course consisting of a lot of healing, learning, development and growth. It is a safe space for you to enjoy, explore and learn in, in whatever way that presents itself to you.

Day 1, The South and West directions:

Is about shedding that which no longer serves us and facing the shadow aspects of ourselves, pushing through fears and trauma to heal the suffering within. By creating space within yourself, you make room for what you truly desire, journeying to the mystical realms of the upper worlds, hummingbird and eagle, energy of the North and the East.

Day 2 , North and East directions:

Is where we step into the infiniteness of possibility, tasting the nectars of life, and step into our becoming. It is here where we connect to spirit and our higher selves, to dare to dream ourselves into being.

What you need to bring:

· Journal & Pen

· Palm size black stone and palm sized (soap size) white stone, smooth if you can find any.

Don’t worry if you don’t have them, I have some you can use – but these will become part of your tools.

· Rattle, drum, feathers, any crystals you like using or want blessing - I do have all of these for you to use, but again, feel free to bring whatever you feel with you.

· Breakfasts/ Lunches/ Snacks, - It’s a very intense 2 days, with a lot of processing. You will be amazed how hungry you get. There is a fridge on site to store anything you wish to heat up.

· Comfy clothes and a blanket for when you are in ceremony (maybe some slippers or warm socks) as your temperature will drop when you are lay meditating/journeying.
