Facilitated Shamanic Drumming Group

Aria’s Online Facilitated Shamanic Drumming Circle:

Discover a Sacred Space for Deep Healing and Spiritual Connection

Are you a dedicated shamanic journeyer seeking a safe, supportive environment to deepen your practice and connect with like-minded souls from around the world? I invite you to participate in our simply facilitated online shamanic drumming group—a sacred gathering designed to honor your journey, nurture your spirit, and expand your consciousness through the powerful rhythm of live drumming and shamanic practice.

Led by experienced facilitator Rev. Aria Walker, L.Ac., this two-hour virtual circle offers a carefully structured experience that combines sacred ritual and immersive sound with gentle guidance when necessary, all within a nurturing container that respects your prior training and experience. Whether you’ve trained with Aria, Bekki and other Church of Earth Healing teachers; Michael Harner’s Core Shamanism; Sandra Ingerman’s techniques; or other reputable teachings, this circle welcomes those with prior shamanic journey training who are prepared to journey without substances. There are multiple opportunities to focus on your goals for journeywork with the options to take notes and to participate with short shares, if desired.

Typical Session Structure

1. Opening Circle with Calling in Allies:

The session begins with Aria providing a sacred opening ritual to call in healing allies, spirit teachers, benevolent helpers, and your higher self. This creates a safe, sacred space for exploration and sets clear boundaries and intentions for the journeywork. Participants are encouraged to arrive promptly by the start time—especially first-timers—to fully engage in this vital opening process.

2. Drumming and Personal Journey Time:

Following the opening, the group moves into a period of drumming and soundscape immersion. During this time, you are invited to use your journeying skills plus the rhythm and sounds to access altered states in order to connect with allies, seek insight, request healing for yourself and others from your allies, or commune with your ancestors and allies. The live drumming and other journey sounds—such as singing bowls or rattles—serve as navigational tools to deepen your experience.

3. Silent Time for Note-taking:

After each journey, there will be a dedicated silent period, allowing you to record insights, symbols, sensations, or messages that arose during your session. This reflective space supports integration and personal reflection, helping you to remember and work with your experiences beyond the session.

4. Invitation to Share via Chat and Live Reflections:

Participants have an opportunity to share their experiences or insights in the chat box. Aria may select one or two participants for brief live reflections. Both create a communal space for shared wisdom and validation. Sharing is always voluntary, and the focus remains on honoring each individual's process.

5. Additional Journey, Notes, and Sharing:

The session includes at least one more journey, offering further opportunity for exploration, note-taking, and optional sharing. This layered approach allows for deeper immersion and continued connection with your allies.

6. Closing Circle: 

As the session concludes, Aria offers a sacred closing ritual—thanking your teachers, allies, ancestors, and the group. Participants are invited to express gratitude and to state their insights and new intentions. While leaving early is possible, you are encouraged to stay through the entire closing to honor the collective energy and receive any final blessings.

Participation Guidelines and Prerequisites

First-time participants are asked to arrive promptly by the session's start to understand and lay the groundwork for the session. Please fully participate in the opening ritual and set the sacred space. Repeat participants may join at any time during the session and are kindly asked to “smudge" themselves into the circle, or use another clearing and grounding method, to energetically anchor themselves and prepare for journeywork before signing in or journeying. Please respect yourself, others, and the integrity of the work. We also ask that you leave your camera on for the majority of the session. Your sound will usually be muted.

This sacred gathering is designed to be a safe, supportive container for serious practitioners who have completed prior training in shamanic journeying—whether through Aria, Bekki Shining-Bearheart, or other Church of Earth Healing teachers; in core shamanism; or through other reputable means. Aria offers other safe spaces if you are interested in plant medicine and ethenogens. For this group, again, participants are asked to journey without substances—no ingestion, smoking, or other mind-altering agents—to maintain clarity and safety of all.

Time and Accessibility

The goal is to accommodate participants from around the world, making it possible for you to find a time that fits your life. The 2-hour format ensures a focused, profound experience without overwhelming your schedule. All sessions are conducted primarily in English, making communication and guidance clear and accessible for people in many countries, though English-speaking is not necessary.
