Amy is letting me do something. [She had pointed it out in a newsletter I get. I argued for more than a month that we can't afford it. She all but demanded we find a way to pay for it. She's just about making me go...] Combining Father's Day and my coming (in a bit yet...) birthday, she's sending me go to the Foundation for Shamanic Study's Core Shamanism Basic Principles Workshop.
It's a weekend-long workshop on the basic concepts of Shamanism that aren't rooted in any specific culture. There are several aspects (drumming or rattling to induce altered states of consciousness, the Shamanic journey as a sort of vision quest, etc.) that are common to all indigenous forms of shamanism.
I think it's one of a couple of things I've been waiting for for a long time now. The other won't happen until fall at the soonest. There's probably other things I'm waiting for, but some of them I haven't figured out yet...
