Charles Myers has a Shamanic healing apprenticeship, which entailed 200 hours of group learning, practice and coaching from Rose Khalsa, an experienced Shamanic healer in Massachusetts. He also has had several energy/Shamanic healing sessions for spiritual and physical health and well-being. He will talk about his experiences, show segments of a DVD about Shamanism, and will bring some of the drum, rattles and other tools used in this practice.

He will also show a brief video about The Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) and discuss the local group where he is the Program Committee Chair.

As always, this Sunday program is FREE and ALL are WELCOME.

“The word ‘shaman’ comes from the Tungus tribe in Siberia and it means spiritual healer or one who sees in the dark. Shamanism has been practiced in Siberia, Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia, Greenland, and native North and South America…A shaman is a man or woman who uses the ability to see ‘with the strong eye’ or ‘with the heart’ to travel into hidden realms. The shaman interacts  directly with helping spirits to address the spiritual aspect of illness and perform soul retrievals, retrieve lost power, as well as remove spiritual blockages. The shaman also divines information for the community. Shamans have and still act as healers, doctors, priests and priestesses, psychotherapists, mystics, and storytellers.”  [Sandra Ingerman]
