Balance
In the world, there are two currents, two poles, like in a battery. A minus and a plus. They are not equivalent to good and evil, but complement each other. There is ebb and flow, dark and light, male and female, and everything that flows in between.
Tuning into them, integrating this cycle of life, and connecting with these two energetic currents is important for feeling balanced and healthy.
Holistic Healing
Modern society has separated our mind and body and has even relegated the non-physical world to the realm of fantasy. However, we are holistic beings, not just machines or devices. Our bodies, our energetic bodies, and our minds are uniquely interconnected, and because of this interconnectedness, a health problem cannot be viewed from just one perspective. It is important to utilize and rediscover this systemic way of thinking about healing, not against science, but with it.
Reconnecting with Nature
Reconnecting with nature. We've drifted so far away in our concrete homes, with constant light, night shifts, and computers, that we've lost touch with nature. Reconnecting with the elements, the weather, the Earth, makes us feel more connected, calmer, and more relaxed. It gives us respect for all living things, and from that perspective, we can treat Mother Earth better.
Rituals
Shamanism and ancestor worship are the oldest forms of religion in the world. The shaman was at the center of the community and not only provided support through healing but also served as a priest, performing marriages, offering support at death, and performing naming rituals at birth and during transitions in life, such as menstruation. Rituals are important; they connect us, with each other and with our environment, and anchor the special moments in our lives.
School of Dutch Shamanism
Relearning how to interact with each other, nature, animals, and ourselves as part of a whole. Connecting from the heart; the place where everything comes together.
At the academy, you'll learn through workshops or lectures how to live connected again, exploring animism, the feminine and masculine principles, and the foundations of shamanism from the Spirit of Wolf tradition. In this way, we learn and develop as human beings, as souls, together, in connection.
