Turning the Wheel Shamanic Practitioner Summer Gathering

Navigating Through the Chaos of Our Time

2027

21-28 May
Minnesota, USA
(starts Friday 6pm)

3-8 August
(starts Tuesday 6pm)

We live in an era of profound uncertainty—both in the world and within ourselves. Rates of anxiety and depression are rising to unprecedented highs, while the climate crisis deepens around us, its consequences felt in our daily lives. We stand at the threshold of the greatest transformation in human civilization: one that will forever reshape who we are, not merely as individuals, but as a species.

This is not a passive process. We cannot sit idly by as the world changes around us. We ourselves are being transformed as part of a greater whole, called by the Universe to become conscious, active agents in our collective awakening.

Let us gather as a shamanic community to honour the potency of these times, to awaken the powers that reside within us, and to contribute to the co-creation of a more luminous future — not as separate beings, but as one unified field of intention, presence, and possibility.

Drawing on a rich variety of shamanic practices, ceremony, movement and dance we will explore and work with the following main themes:

The Age of Energy

We will uncover in detail when and how humanity crossed into the Age of Energy – the Age of Consciousness – and the essential inner rewiring required to shift from five sensory to multisensory perception, our role as ‘soul travellers’ within this unfolding epoch, and how we can thrive with multisensory perception amid the growing turbulence of the world.

The Mystical Truths

The Mystical Truths are living, sacred expressions of the Divine that govern the universe both around us and within us. They are the invisible forces that keep the inner and outer orbits turning, sustaining the energetic, the physical, and the divine dimensions that move through our being. We will enter into deep communion with these Truths to gain clearer insight into this transformative era, the profound evolution our species is undergoing, and the way these eternal principles shape and guide our individual lives.

The Tribal Archetype

The world is becoming increasingly fractured—politically, ideologically, and socially. Conflict persists, oppression expands and suffering deepens, leaving millions feeling isolated, powerless, and overwhelmed. Our collective tribal Archetype still operates from a limited five-sensory survival psychology, driving shadow-based decisions across the global community. We will explore what the tribal consciousness must evolve into and how each of us, as individuals, can actively support that transformation.

The Wheel of Transformation

Multidimensional Healing Circles in the Cosmic Map
Rooted in the classic healing-circle tradition, this expanded form invites us to channel and commune with greater powers such as the Mystical Truths, the Governing Principles of Nature and the Shadow and Destiny Archetypes, exploring how these forces shape our collective human consciousness and the living consciousness of Mother Earth.

The Journey into Joy as a Spiritual Practice

Joy is a vital medicine for thriving amid the challenges of our time. It serves as a sacred balancer, helping us navigate the anxieties and pressures arising both from the outer world and from within our own lives. Joy is not only a natural birth right; it is a responsibility we carry — a force we are meant to seek, cultivate, and offer back to the world. We will explore how joy differs fundamentally from happiness and how it remains accessible to all beings, regardless of trauma history or the circumstances we may find ourselves moving through.
