Every one of us experiences periods of pain and loss in our life—dark nights of the soul. This is a groundless territory where one feels directionless and devoid of tools, with no sense of how to take the next step. 

Just as in ancient times, elders guided their communities through life’s initiations and hardships, paths we must all take to greater transformation and growth. In this highly experiential program, legendary shamanic expert Llyn Roberts helps you forge a pathway through the dark, embracing nature as your guide and healer.

Through teachings from the land, the sky, the sea, and the spiritual world, this sensitive and empowering experience opens you to your spiritual light—so that you can face your greatest challenges with courage and love, no matter what they are.

Feel free to bring along any small sacred items for the altar, as well as a drum or rattle if you like.

We suggest you wear comfortable, natural fiber clothing to sessions and bring clothes and preparations for outdoor practices and ceremonies in any weather. For instance, you may want to include a ground mat, natural bug repellant, sun hat, etc. in your packing list. We remind you that there are ticks in the Northeast and there is also poison ivy on campus. We'll talk more about these issues when we are together.

Come to sessions with a water bottle and a notebook or journal. We will have extra note paper and pens in the classroom.
