Let’s come together as good relatives to journey on how we can love and support our neighbors and what we may be able to do to shine bright in these days of unrest and uncertainty.

Join Shamanism Without Borders Community Leader Vicki Snyder-Young as we send love and support to our neighbors using the Shamanism Without Borders process of neutral tending.

 

HOW TO PREPARE
Create a sacred ceremonial space in a quiet place where you will not be disturbed or distracted. You may want to create an altar, light a candle, and/or have your shamanic tools nearby. You are welcome to rattle or drum along during the shamanic journey process.

ABOUT THIS PROCESS

Shamans throughout time have used special techniques to tend to trauma and disasters. Our monthly Call-to-Action events apply these techniques in a practice known as Shamanism Without Borders.

Trained practitioners lead the group to tend to situations ranging from natural disasters, acts of terrorism, war and pollution, to anything that causes disruption and suffering to humanity, to the animal and plant life, and the earth’s delicate bio-system.

These events are by nature community healing events and provide an opportunity for anyone interested in being of service to participate. All are welcome!

Please let us know if there is a topic you would like to see for a future Call-to-Action.

FAQs

What does an SWB process look like?
The general outline of an SWB process is as follows. This process is facilitated by one of our trained community leaders and does not require experience to be a participant.

  • Introducing the issue that requires tending
  • Opening, protecting and calling allies into a ceremonial container
  • Journeying from a place of neutrality for instructions
  • Tending to the situation based on the information given
  • Blessing what was tended
  • Thanking and releasing the container

“When we prepare for a tending process, we journey to the spirit of the situation to look for guidance. This might be the spirit of the land, the soul of a community, country or the spirit of a culture, or collective consciousness. We ask the simple question, “What would be the most effective way that we can be of service?”. Sometimes the answer is clear. Sometimes it is unexpected. Sometimes the answer is to not do any ceremony at all.

 

Because we conduct this journey with the assistance of our tried and true spirit friends of kindness, we can trust that their answers come from a place more resourced than we could find on our own. This sacred listening practice is revelatory and healing to all beings. As we are all connected through unseen webs, answering the call for healing in this way brings healing to ourselves as well, through a beautiful circle of offering and gratitude. Blessed be.”

~Provided by SWB Community Leader Tasara Jen Stone

What tools are recommended to use during an SWB process?
We suggest being in a ceremonial space, setting up an altar and lighting a candle. You may also want to have any tools you already work with such as a drum, rattle, feathers, tobacco, crystals, etc.
How can I continue the tending process or receive additional support?
