Mystical Nature, Shamanic Journey and Ceremony outdoor workshop

Deepen your Visionary Skills with direct experience of the sentient Universe:

Shamanic Journey Mentoring as you connect with Nature’s  Living Presence & Ceremonial Activation


2 chairs in a Sedona red soil landscape. 1 chair contains drum which gives a feeling of being outdoors as we make mystical nature connections and do shamanic journey to the beat of the drum.

Shamanic training in nature gives us the opportunity to also connect and interact with the natural field of energy surrounding us

This is a core mystic vision outdoor workshop.

Held at at outdoor sites around Sedona or at a Verde River area near Cottonwood.


Shamanic Journey Mentoring

You will experience a series of spirit journeys to the drum to connect that develop your visionary skills.  Includes experiences with medicine animals, wise guides and nature energies for personal insight. The rapid drum rhythm accompaniment helps relax the thinking mind so you enter the field of expanded reality with focused attention.

Sandra Cosentino mentors you and offers intuitive insights based on decades of experience.

“The core shamanic experience is really simple, timeless and universal. Shamanic journey is the act of sending one’s consciousness into the spirit world.  It allows the journeyer to view life and life’s problems from a detached, spiritual perspective not so easily achieved in ordinary reality.“  (Tom Cowan)

We weave these insight experiences with nature and earth energy connection practices.

Mystical Perception is a timeless, here-now connection.

Nature awareness develops your ability to go into deeper levels of conscious connection with the greater web of life.

Flashes of knowing flow in as you relax into an expanded state of Now awareness.

You charge the mircro-crystals within the cells of your body in this uplifting exchange of energies.  This natural flow of energy helps clear blocks and resistances.

See Sandra’s article: Expanded Now Awareness in Nature

“Once you have personally experienced what it is like to be one with a wise and benevolent spirit, or a tree, an animal, or a rock, you know that everything is alive and whole and amazing. You are changed in a fundamental way. You can no longer look at any being or any aspect of this world as an object to be used – everything becomes a subject with a spirit of its own. And so your own subjective, caring nature is awakened. You begin to see as the shaman sees – with the heart.” (Susan Mokelke)

Sedona ceremony, drumming, Nature RetreatsCeremony activates the insights that come to you as you walk your new truths.

All is made new. Reaching far back into human consciousness is a knowing of the importance of ceremonial circles to align with with the universal patterns of life.

Ceremony is used to create balance and instigate positive change. Ceremonies remind us that we are connected with all of creation and not separate as our thinking mind perceives. We can use ceremony to emerge new phenomena.
