June Journey Circle!

by nancyleedunn, posted in Uncategorized

We had a journey circle on Friday night – 8 people attended, which was a bit tight for my room, but we managed.

We welcomed in Father Sky, Mother Earth, the Spirit of the Adirondacks, the Spirit of the Hudson River right down road, the Spirit of the Mountains, trees, grasses, rocks, mammals, birds, insects and amphibians and the Directions. I had to go back to welcome the Spirit of the Wind, which was actually the spirit to honor that night. We rattled, sang and danced for about 5 minutes and then we all put our intentions into the circle. I then drummed for about 15 minutes, and we all journeyed.

There were some great journeys!! Many of the attendees got some amazing stuff!! Really spiritual people. I look forward to the next circle on July 1st, and hope that everyone returns. New people welcome, too!!

  1. Hi. I came across your website. I am interested in journeying, but i have no previous experience. I do play a hand drum. Can I find out more about how I can go about this ? I am visiting NY from abroad at the moment.
    Thank you.
    Atif.

    1. Hi, thanks for asking! This is a good description:

      I would add a few things. For your first journeys, the Lower World to meet a helping animal is usually most successful! As the directions say, look for a hole in the ground to journey through to get to the Lower World. It’s not the same for everyone. I have a hole in the ground near a beloved tree, others have a whirlpool, or a space between three trees. Head down the path or tunnel as long as it takes you down. Foloow it down all the way – to make sure you are in the Lower World, a world of compassionate helping spirits and not the Middle World, where there can be unhelpful beings, go through at least one door or portal. Look around when you get there and ask again to meet a compassionate helping animal spirit. If animals show up, ask if they are your helping spirit or power animal. If they say no, ask them to point out where your’s might be. These are all kind and loving spirits – if they aren’t acting so, go back to your journey tunnel and go down further. A helping animal spirit will show up. Chat, introduce yourself, enjoy! Make sure you come back with the callback!
