There are six core classes for Shamanic Practitioner, but all classes will enhance the knowledge base. There is no sequence in taking classes unless noted. All will involve the teaching of the Journeying process.

This is a twice monthly meeting, the first and third Tuesday of every month. It is a place where people share their psychic, healing gifts and work with them. Many people are unsure of their gifts and frightened of their manifestation, so NOG has become safe place for clients to discuss their gifts, self care and the development of them. This meeting has been ongoing for 20 years and has helped people be encouraged in honoring and utilizing these gifts. It is FREE and at the office.
