Enhanced Spiritual Insight: This talk offers a unique opportunity to deepen your spiritual understanding by exploring the synergies between Shamanism and Christianity. Participants will gain insights into how these two paths, when woven together, can offer a richer, more nuanced spiritual perspective, enhancing their connection with the Divine. Personal Healing and Growth: The talk focuses on the healing aspects of both Shamanic practices and Christian teachings. Attendees will learn techniques for soul-level healing, which can lead to personal transformation and growth. This is especially beneficial for those seeking to heal from disenchantment or disconnection from traditional religious practices. Community and Support: By joining this talk, participants will become part of a community that shares similar interests in exploring diverse spiritual paths. This sense of community offers emotional support, understanding, and the opportunity to share experiences with like-minded individuals, fostering a sense of belonging. Empowerment through Knowledge: The session will empower attendees with knowledge about the intersection of Shamanism and Christianity, offering them tools and practices to incorporate into their daily lives. This knowledge can be a source of strength, enabling participants to face life's challenges with a renewed sense of purpose and resilience. *Note: Community Education uses a sliding scale model for program fees so our programs can be financially sustainable and more equitable. Participants are asked to pick the price that they are able to pay. By more clearly articulating our lower cost options, we have removed the barrier that some may have felt in making scholarship requests. When participants sign up at the higher price levels, they help make the program more sustainable.
