There are lots of shamanic rituals which carry the wisdom of ancestors and the natural cycles of the annual circle. We are inviting you to participate in the ritual where you’ll be guided by the powerful, wise and beautiful spirit of the swan, which teaches us to see the invisible, to transform and watch the life from the bird’s-eye view. We can meet the swan in many fairytales, myths and legends as the powerful guide-spirit and sometimes as the founder of shamanic races. In Siberia the swan is considered as the bird who can easily travel through all the worlds and “carry the soul of the shaman in the right direction”. Those who create the world they are, who feel themselves in their element both in the air and in the water and, consequently, they can bring messages from the upper world and enhance the voice of our intuition.

The core of the ritual lies in working with the ritual-trance pose. We’ll go on a shamanic trip keeping a special static body position for 15 minutes. Ritual poses are the lost part of shamanic rituals. Discovered by our distant ancestors those ancient static poses of a body were assisting in making a “trip with the spirit”, i.e. trips through different realities aiming to heal oneself, the family and the race as well as to solve some significant life tasks. Traditionally shamanic trips are carried out with the support of a drum sound which is not only beautiful but also powerful element of the ritual. The sound can escort us easily into the altered state of consciousness and help us to get the answers we need, to visit the abode of spirits and explore our inner space, which effect can hardly be reached through other techniques. The kind of trance which appears during the practice is named ecstatic: it’s comfortable for the body and informative for the consciousness. The shamanic trip which is carried out with assistance of a ritual pose acquires special depth and is experienced on every level – of a body, of a soul, of a spirit. The ritual culminates in relaxation, during which the energy, which came from the world of spirits is dispensed with the help of a sedge, moistened with Peruvian healing oils – and it feels very pleasant. Rustling of the sage, deep sound of the drum, the song of shamanic rattles and the smell of a sage will protect you on your way to your roots.

Ritual poses can help to:

1. Get healing on a physical and emotional levels:
2. Release suppressed emotions;
3. Have significant questions answered;
4. Get in touch with the spiritual field of ancestors;
5. Go through changes in your life and get the energy needed;
6. Find your place in the world;
7. Relax and have some rest.

Behind every ritual pose stands the whole world and culture. And for us it’s a chance to undertake a healing trip of the Soul and rediscover the path into the world of spirits.

To work with your ancestors and race please bring some small object which embodies your connections with your race (you’ll take that object back after the ritual, carrying with you the energy of renewal and transformation), one fruit as an offering for your ancestors and one flower.

Attire: comfortable, for you to be at ease while lying or sitting. Take your mat and eye patch with you. In case you have a personal drum please bring it with you.

This meeting can be interesting for you in case you:

• Want to show respect to your ancestors and are looking for the form acceptable for you
• Want to make a stable connection with your race and the spirit of the new place you are living in
• Are looking for the internal support and are in search of yourself and your own path
• Are living through crisis, grief or loss and are looking for support in these feelings
• Would love to let the past go and invite something new into your life
• Are interested in exploring vision rituals and the annual circle
• Are ready to get the new emotional, physical, trance and spiritual experience.
