FESTIVAL SESSIONS
“The Womb as a Compass on the Path”
A Shamanic Journey into Cyclicality for Menstruating People
Your body is the home of the spirit. The womb—regardless of identity—is a highly intelligent place of birth, death, and rebirth. Within you lies a natural compass.
This is an invitation to return: to listening, feeling, and trusting Life. Through breath, sound, and mindful presence, we will create a space where you can explore the Path that You Are. Your intention may be simple—rest, finding direction, or reconnecting with a sense of wholeness. Whatever aligns with your true needs is welcome.
What to expect:
shamanic journey / active imagination / guided visualization · integration circle · introduction to the Medicine Wheel and the cyclicality of menstruating people
Duration: 2 hours · Please bring: a blanket or sleeping bag, an eye mask, and water
“Integration of Entheogenic Experiences”
Shamanism-Inspired Perspectives for Psychedelic Users
A gathering for people who use psychedelics and wish to better understand and integrate their experiences, as well as for those interested in the growing popularity of psychedelics and their deeper significance.
Aleksandra will share a perspective rooted in years of practice with traditional healers working with Plant Teachers, connecting entheogenic experiences with an animistic worldview.
What you will learn: a conscious approach to psychedelic experiences and set & setting · a perspective on working with the body as a tool for integration · how an experience can become a meaningful resource in everyday life
Duration: 2 hours · circle format: introduction + practice + Q&A
Shaman’s Zone – Friday and Saturday.
