Sound is a vibration and various tonal frequencies, that affect the inner cellular structures of our bodies, all the way down to our bone marrow. The various tones may help to balance your mind, body, and spirit, allowing your body to relax and release tension and anxiety.

Ecstatic Trance Postures are deeply rooted in ancient shamanic practices. This 36,000-year-old tradition activates the capacity of the human nervous system to enter expanded states of consciousness and opens doorways to the world of Spirit. Using ritual body postures, from the artwork of hunter-gatherer and horticulture traditions, along with simple rhythmic sound, it is possible to create a bridge to these worlds.
There is a belief that an "alternate reality" exists, waiting for us to explore and learn. This alternate reality is a sister to our secular reality. This experience uses your intention and various Ecstatic Trance Postures, as a vehicle giving you the opportunity to connect with this "alternate reality".
Join us for this unique "SPIRITUAL EXPLORATION" to slip through the "crack between the worlds"

Have you ever wondered: what is my purpose? What is preventing me from living my best life? How do I change what I do not want in my life? How can I heal physical, emotional, mental, or soul wounds? Where am I going? You will find the answers to these questions, and more, exploring the world of Shamanism.
What is Shamanism? Shamanism is one of the oldest paths to spirituality in the world. Evidence of Shamanism has been found around the world for over 40,000 years – yet Shamanism is relevant today and can be used in your life right now.
Modern-day Shamanism is a spiritual path, philosophy, and system of healing - for yourself and others. Learning to use the tools of the Shaman allows you to step into your own power for self-healing and well-being.
You are invited to join Shamanic practitioner, Tom Gibbs, in a series of 10 classes that explore the different facets of Shamanism and learn to use Shamanic tools to answer questions in your life and guide you to live the life you were meant to live.
Tom is offering a free informational meeting to talk about what these classes will cover, show you how to do the Shamanic journey, and answer any questions you may have to assist you in deciding if this adventure is for you before registering.
