Walk your own path of fame
Do you know what your life purpose is?
How do you integrate your life purpose?
What do you do when things don’t go the way you want them to?
We experienced the essence of Native American Indian Spirituality with the opening of the Four Classical Teachings of the Medicine Wheel. Shaman Blue Star can help you to identify your own Personal Vision and your Life Purpose.
In this Shamanic Intensive you will find an answer to your questions with the help of your Ancestors and Animal Totems who are so ready to start working with you. You will be able to connect with them, share the different energies they represent and learn how to bring their knowledge and insight in your everyday life.
These teachings are a true adventure. You are welcome to join us.
No previous shamanic experience necessary.
Beyond Trance Dance de-animation
If you love to dance and like to take that experience a little further.
De-animation is a state of trance which enables your spirit to travel easily out of the body into unknown worlds. It is a way to experience your own eternity.
You can reach this state by dancing on trance inducing music (with closed eyes) combined with special breathing techniques that will help you to get access to deeper states of your consciousness helping to unlock hidden information in your cells. Shamans call this state the fourth state of perception. Also others like Stanislav Grof (transpersonal psychology) discovered that we can access archetypal information by combining dance, breath and sound.
Shaman Blue Star has chosen authentic shamanic sounds from all over the world to induce this state of perception. After the trance dance, everybody will lay down to experience the state of de-animation. After you have come back there will be time to draw what you have seen. Blue Star will explain the symbolic meanings of your drawing. On Friday there will be just a sharing.
Water Rituals & Self Healing
We can’t live without water. We are water for 70%. Water is one of the four children of the Earth and has its own beautiful energy and knowledge. It’s has a very subtle sweetness.
The Medicine People of Ancient Knowledge knew how the Spirit of water could be used to heal, to cleanse, and to support us in daily life. All over the world water is used in many rituals, blessings and initiations.
In this workshop we will learn some of these rituals and experience their effect on our body, mind and spirit. We will program water and listen to its messages. Through shamanic journeys we will call in the Spirit of the different phases of water and discover the power of water in the self. Blue Star will teach us how to use water for healing ourselves and the world we live in.
Blue Star: “The grandmothers of my tribe said: If you have a secret, don’t tell it to the water, because everybody will know it”.
The Medicine Wheel for Women
Especially for women it is difficult to be centered into themselves. Women have the tendency to care too much for others. We expect that the love and care that we need will be returned to us from the world. This expectation leads to disappointment. Most of us are not in tune with Mother Earth, the rythms of the Moon cycles, the cosmos and infinity around us.
We learn to care for ourselves, and to see the true value of the gift of life.
Here we use the Medicine Wheel to re-discover and celebrate all the aspects that define your beautiful self.
The Women Gathering
We acknowledge that our Self is much more then what we learned and believe ourselves to be. The purpose of these teachings is to reach your potential. We do this with the help of Visualisation, practical exercises, trance dance, dream journeys and much more. It is a great adventure to develop your own awareness.
The women gathering give women the rare chance to reach your full potential. In North American Indian Spirituality we include the notion of the woman as a spiritual warrior.
In 2003 Shaman Blue Star received the information to help women to grow into their potential. This was the birth of the teachings: the Medicine wheel for Women, The Woman’s Initiation Rites, and The anchetypes of the Goddess, as well as Personal Medicine for Women.
The spiritual warrior is She who fights for the development of her spiritual self.
Initiations Rites
Initiation rites are rites of passage. It also can mark the passage from one level of understanding into another.
With the Native American Indian tribes there were many ceremonies that marked an initiation. Like the initiation into adulthood. When a girl or a boy became 15 an important initiation took place. It was a ceremony for the young man or woman as well as for their parents. To let go for the one, and to accept one’s responsibility into society, for the other party. The parents then gave the young one the right to make their own mistakes, the parents would stop giving advice. Only when the young man or woman would ask for advice they would then give their opinion, or give their advice.
I once received the honor to see an initiation rite into male-hood. Standing outside a marked circle, the women as a wonderful gesture of trust, were invited to witness a unique ceremony for men. A group of men then drummed intensely for this one brother who lay naked on the earth and had to hold onto a huge wooden phallus keeping it erect between his legs. After a long struggle he completely collapsed into the great Mother Earth and was then picked up by all the men with gentleness and brought into the water. Much later the men passed by the women and we greeted one another with great respect, and great appreciation. No masks. The pureness of male energy called up the pureness of the female energy.
In a wonderful ceremony Shaman Blue Star guides initiation rituals. For women this means her true acceptance of herself as woman towards herself as sister, mother, caretaker, lover of this planet. In a sisterhood we will be using ancient spiritual ceremonies with water, with moon, with symbols and with awareness exercises that were brought to us from ancient Egypt. Secrets that were given to open up the energies of womanhood.
The Four Classical Medicine Wheel Teachings
The four classical medicine wheel teachings have originally been created to teach traditional spirituality of the North American Indians.
Ceremonies teach us how we use our spiritual senses to see into the spirit world and to gain universal knowledge. At the same time these medicine wheel ceremonies teach us to move with the spirit. By using the Medicine Wheel and the Four Wind Directions we learn the build our own permanent wheel. There is a fixed following order in these teachings in order to truly understand how the Native American Indian was making use of the this spiritual tool.
The Classical Medicine Teachings are divided into four ceremonies.
The First ceremony is about building the Medicine Wheel and defining the four wind directions, and the colors associated with each wind direction. We learn how to use our spiritual perception in order to ‘dream’.
The Second ceremony is calling the representative totems for each wind direction, and so truly connect again with the animals of the earth. We learn to start travelling and moving our spirit into a wind direction with the animal spirits.
The Third Ceremony is about finding your personal medicine. We learn to use our awareness and will be guided by our personal totem. We journey into the wind directions to obtain personal medicine.
The Fourth Ceremony is about travelling into the wind directions to meet your own ancestors of ancient times, and to connect with the Grandfathers and the Grandmothers of universal wisdom.

In order to participate into the advanced teachings and ceremonies of the North American Indians, the four classical teachings are recommended.
The Art of Seeing Spiritual Perceiving
These teachings focus on spiritual perception.
In the courses about mediumship we discovered that each one of us perceives the world differently.
When we are children we perceive the world in a free way, we have not been ‘domesticated’ . When we grow up we often loose this ability.
We ALL have the capacity to perceive because our ancestors all were hunters at one time and they had to know where the food was to be found. So they ‘ dreamed their prey, and this is why we all have the capacity to “see”.
In three weekends Shaman Blue Star takes you into different ways of perceiving the world, to learn to open up to the ‘un-seen’ worlds and to get in contact with the expansion of your true selves. It is amazing what we actually can perceive when we train our spiritual senses just a little bit.
This workshop is a spiritual training and a wonderful support for every being.
It is great fun to learn and to notice how much we actually do perceive, that we have spiritual senses, that we read with our energy bodies. How we can project ourselves with our dream bodies. What can we read in the world around us. Are we aware of what remarkable miraculous beings we are?
Elements in this course are:
- What is perception. Where does it come from. How to interpret and learn to trust the information
- What is a channel and how to open yourself to be one
- Feelings and Emotions and its role in perception
- Here and now
- Simple and powerful meditations
- Listening with the heart
- Meeting with your guides
- Inner peace
- Famous mediums
- How to use psychic tools
- and much more
You are all very welcome to be part of this unique training group
Discover your Personal Medicine
This workshop gives you the opportunity to discover your Personal Medicine. We do this through spiritual journeys based on the Medicine Wheel.
The Medicine Wheel is one of the most ancient tools and is found in many cultures around the world. Working with the Medicine Wheel will help you connect more profoundly with yourself, your ancestors and with nature.
Your Personal Medicine consists of your personal totems, colours and medicine powers connected to each of the four directions.
In this workshop you will not only learn what your Personal Medicine is, but you will also learn how to get in touch with it, how to use it, and what to use it for.
After this workshop you will have acquired a powerful tool to guide you in your life.
Connection
Connections will be the focus of a powerful two-day workshop.
There is all that is around us, there is all that is inside of us.
The more we feel connected, the more we will feel ‘real’ and present in our lives. In Native Indian spirituality we learn that the land IS us, as well as the trees and the clouds. The grandfathers say “the earth is my mother, the sky is my father, the bear is my brother”. And so it is. Everything is connected.
Making a connection with a flower is feeling its life force. Walking the land, we can feel her energy through our feet, and the way it sustains us.
In these two days you will be learning to re-connect to this truth through experiencing the spirit in all things. We will also make a Medicine Walk through the land.
In that way you will re-connect to the real spirit of all that you are. This is an opportunity to relate to your true inheritance as a child of this planet. Through this amazing adventure, you will get a glimpse of the mystery of existence on mother earth.
