About this event
- Event lasts 2 hours
You are invited to come on a very special journey.
This journey bridges the spiritual and the practical, grounding insights with one foot firmly in the “ordinary” world while stepping into the realms of spirit.
What is shamanic journeying?
Shamanic journeying is a practice of connecting with non-ordinary realities through a meditative, drum-led process. No prior experience is needed—this workshop is designed as an entry-level introduction, accessible to anyone curious about exploring their inner senses and deepening their connection with nature.
Who is this for?
This workshop is an experiential introduction to the power of shamanism. This taster session is for you if:
- you feel a longing to learn more about yourself and how you relate to the world around you
- you want to clear out old patterns, conditioning, or energies that might be sitting in the way
- you want to understand and experience shamanism WITHOUT taking a plant medicine
- you are looking to access your inner wisdom more easily
As part of this experience, you will engage in a clearing and connective practice, tapping into nature’s energy to revitalise your being. This process deepens your awareness of the interconnectedness of all life, nurturing your connection to the natural world and the wisdom within you.
This workshop is a call to awaken your inner senses, harness the life-giving energy of nature, and walk the path of integration—bringing insights from the non-ordinary into inspired, meaningful action in your daily life.
What to expect
This entry-level workshop offers an introduction to shamanic journeying, with a special focus on tuning into our senses, imagination, and the vitality of nature. Through guided practices led by the heartbeat of the drum, you will learn to shift your vibration and open to non-ordinary realities, receiving guidance through symbols, signs, and inner experiences.

"I was introduced to Sjoukjes workshops by my sister last year and have since become a regular subscriber due to how much I have gained from them. Sjoukje is an incredible guide. I had never been involved in anything like this before but she has helped me open my mind and my heart and really connect and I have found this a huge awakening in my life. I look forward to the workshops and to connecting with others who are like minded. I love the journeys we go on and how its helping me to connect deeply and to guide me on my journey through life. It really has been part of a transformation for me and I am so grateful to Sjoukje for her guidance in this."
