Toby Christensen’s 5 Element Drumming technique has been meticulously developed over years of learning from tribal leaders and elders of the Dagara tribe in West Africa. Drawing on this ancient wisdom, Toby has bridged the cultural gap, making it accessible to the Western world and enabling us to receive the profound healing wisdom of Africa.

The 5-Element system, rooted in the elements of Fire, Water, Earth, Mineral, and Nature, will guide you towards balance, healing, and transformation.

Fundamentals Of ShamanismHealing Drummer Shamanic Training Workshop

“What’s really important about shamanism is that there is another reality that you can personally discover…we are not alone.” — Michael Harner

“Core Fundamentals Of Shamanism” is a weekend of :

  • Shamanic journey – For clarity and guidance
  • Learning to walk with power and protection – Keeps you free from energy vampirism, spells, and curses
  • Developing methods of self-motivation – Keeps you focused and moving in the right direction
  • Energy maintenance – So you can sustain 100% all the time
  • Building your personal power – Helps you live with grace and confidence

According to the late, world-famous anthropologist Michael Harner “The power of the shaman is in direct proportion to the relationships they build in the spirit world”. In our two days together you will learn the skill of safely establishing and enhancing these relationships.

These tools are very helpful for anyone, especially if you are a healing practitioner. They will help you stay strong, healthy and prevent energy vampirism and attachments from energies and entities looking for a place to feed.  As you learn to maneuver in the world of the shaman your light gets brighter and the distractions of the ordinary world affect you less and less.

Learning these skills can be a game changer,  boosting your confidence, and amping up the efficacy of your work also,  the quality of your life.

Because of the intimate nature of this work I keep these workshops small. So please contact me to see if you are a match for the program. You can click the Contact Toby link below.

Healing From Grief: The Ritual Of Release and Restoration

Toby Christensen's LP Homecoming and workshop

“Unlike people in the West, the Dagara believe it is terrible to suppress one’s grief. Only by passionate expression can loss be tamed and assimilated into a form one can live with.” —Malidoma Some’, African Elder

Have you experienced loss or trauma that you just can’t shake off?

Are you paralyzed with depression, sadness, or chronic misfortune?

Do you find yourself in a sea of despair with no hope in sight?

 

In this workshop, you will learn the process of healthy grieving that will bring you full circle to a place of:

  • Comfort
  • Strength
  • Hope
  • Joy
  • Fearlessness

You will gain the understanding that grieving is a natural process, though often ignored in our modern culture. You will also learn how the expression of grief honors your loss, but more importantly it readies you to release the pain and tension you may be experiencing so you can be restored to peace, hope, and joy

I will guide you through a process where you can acknowledge, experience, and finally release your sadness and grief.

This event is an experience, a journey of self-discovery and self-mastery creating a sense and perspective far greater and deeper than what you had before.

In this group setting, you also experience the compassion and support of the community as you move from grief to comfort, strength, hope, and joy.

The results from this positive experience are freedom from chronic grief and sadness, release from depression and hopelessness, and freedom from thoughts and experiences of the past that have kept you imprisoned. Freedom, joy, and hope!
