Drumming Circles, offered by instructors listed on this site, offer an opportunity to meet with a group of people and do shamanic journeying. Please get in touch with the contact person to find out more information about the circles. If journeying experience is required and you do not know how to journey, most instructors are available to teach journeying skills to individuals outside of the drumming circle. These circles are listed by location. For a more extensive International list, please visit www.shamaniccircles.org. This page was last updated June 19, 2009.
