Introducing The Way of The Buzzard Mystery School
In these unsettling times as the world pauses it is our moment to drop into a different space, away from the turmoil of the chattering mind, and reach out to taste that balm for our soul.
The shamanic path was made for this moment.
If you are looking to resource yourself spirituality and learn more about shamanism then the Mystery School is the perfect place for you. Here you can learn how to draw the healing magic nature holds, through deep nature connection, animal spirit medicine, tree spirit medicine and by aligning yourself with the natural rhythms of the earth.
Here you can learn how to access the wisdom from your spirit guides at a momentβs notice through shamanic journeying and call in support through ceremony. Here you can learn techniques on how to protect yourself in these unfolding times and cushion yourself from the uncertainty that the coming weeks and months hold.
We have over 100 hours of content to delve into in The Mystery School, all delivered through easy-to-watch videos, as well as our monthly live shamanic journey circle, our regular live coaching calls and our private facebook group. All our lessons include activities which you can easily follow without even needing to leave your home or garden if you have one.
Here you have a place to come to where you can come and join in with a community of like-minded travellers to kick off your shoes and place your feet on the bare earth. A place where you can rest and recuperate, immersing yourself in the healing energies of nature.
A place where you can calm yourself by tuning in to listen the soft reassuring words from your spirit guides.
All if this is available to you for just Β£14 per month with no lock in period. It's the shamanic alternative to Netflix!
Come and give us a try⦠our community is waiting on the other side to welcome you so we can journey through these times together.
But donβt take our word for it. Here are a few words from folk in The Mystery School who were at our special Spring Equinox Circle:
