Spirit Animal Workshop

Meet and Journey with your Spirit Animal during this special Shamanic Workshop. A Spirit Animal is an aspect of your Soul that you share deep connection with and that may guide and heal you. Laying down and Guided by Sound and Rhythm we’ll embark on a Spiritual Journey thru Consciousness to the Upper World where we’ll discover or reconnect with our Spirit Animal. Afterwards we’ll have time to journal and illustrate our Spirit Animal Journey with provided pastels and art materials before an optional sharing session.

All Ancestors and Tribal Cultures have revered Animals and the Spiritual and Archetypal Qualities that animate. Here we’ll have an opportunity to commune, be healed and guided by these most fundamental characteristics of mind. Journey Thru Soul! Your Spirit Animal Awaits!

This Power Animal Vision Quest will be facilitated by Awoken Space Founder Jesse Rakusin and is based on the work of Michael Harner and the Foundation for Shamanic Studies. Harner developed concepts around “Core Shamanism”, the study of the underlying spiritual concepts and practices that have shared by all tribal cultures. Thru the foundation's offerings and workshops Jesse has studied the concepts around Power (or Spirit) Animals, Soul Journeying, the Upper, Middle, and Lower Worlds. Jesse has also traveled extensively meeting and at times living with Shamanic practitioners including experiences with Siberian and Eastern European Healers, Amazonian Medicine Guides, the Mudang of South Korea, the Highland Andean Q'ero, Native American Elders and many more. All Shamanic Cultures have journeyed with and been guided by Spirt Animals.
