Shamanic Drum journeys are deep, active meditations to the beat of a drum. The regular and monotonous beat of the drum guides your mind into a dream, theta wave or meditative state. This is similar to the brain during light sleep or deep relaxation. This state is linked to creativity, intuition, and emotional insight. In the case of shamanic journeys, it is in this state that we can perceive the non-ordinary worlds, or the non-visible layers of our own world.

For those who wish to explore life’s other dimensions, who wish to meet and cultivate their relationships with a Power Animal, Compassionate Spirit Guides or Symbols. You may want to connect with such energies to enrich your inner life as well as learn practical tools to navigate everyday life.

No. Drums are not necessary for this class as I drum for you. If you have a drum and are comfortable drumming to a regular monotonous beat, you are welcome to bring your drum.

Experience with meditation or shamanism is not necessary either, only curiosity to explore your personal evolution, learn precious tools that are both ancestral and contemporary, and meet other compassionate and curious people.

If you have never done a shamanic drum journey, the first thing you will do in class will be to meet one of your Power Animals or Spirit Guides. They will be your guide and guardian during your journeying.

Most people meet a Power Animal, a guide or a symbol during their first few journeys. If you do not meet one on your first journey, do not despair! People usually end up meeting a guide within a handful of journeys. It is not always easy to clear the mind and trust that you are not imagining things, so be accepting with yourself, and begin again! Also, don’t be shy and make sure you ask me questions in class. If you have a questions, it is very likely someone else has the same one.

Non-ordinary reality or the non-ordinary worlds are the state in which we can access the energy or spirit aspects. Some people refer to it as a state of meditation, others refer to it as a place. It is like a parallel realm or extra layer that can be perceived when in the dream or shamanic journey state.

In many shamanic traditions, there are 3 parts (and sometimes many more) in the non-ordinary world: the Upper World, the Lower World, and the Middle World. Each world offers a different experience, where we can enter into communication with different energies and spirits of beings, things, elements (like Fire, Water…).

You’ve met your Power Animal, and now what’s next? How can you honor your Power Animals and seek their advice for your life? This is where the love story begins!

Working with my Power animal and compassionate guides brought powerful changes to my life and the way I work in therapeutic sessions. This is why I love guiding you to explore your own relationship with your Power Animal or Guides.

All group Shamanic Drum Journey classes are great opportunities for you to reconnect with your Power Animal if you already have met them. Ask them new questions, receive guidance or good vibes, visit an aspect of the non-ordinary world that you are curious about… There are so many things to discover!
