The Soul Flight

Shamanic Journeying and Drumming

18th – 21st February 2027
with Zohar Bahir

Enter the Shamanic Worlds. Discover the Power of the Soul Flight.

Anthropological studies suggest that shamanic practices have been part of human experience for tens of thousands of years, with some estimates placing their origins between 40,000 and 100,000 years ago.

The methods practised today have come to us through many indigenous shamanic cultures. At the heart of these traditions lies the shamanic journey — the foundation upon which much of the shaman's work is built.

This special long weekend is an invitation to experience shamanism through practices that continue to be used by indigenous shamanic cultures today. The experiences you will undertake are intended to be initiatory, offering opportunities for profound exploration, connection and discovery.

A shaman is one who traverses the shamanic worlds, bringing back knowledge, guidance, wisdom and healing.

The shamanic journey is known as The Soul Flight.

What is it about …

The Shaman's Horse

To enter the shamanic worlds, the shaman traditionally works with a drum or rattle. The repetitive

beat of the drum provides the rhythmic foundation for entering non-ordinary states of consciousness

and undertaking the journey.

In shamanism, the drum is known as The Shaman's Horse — the sacred vehicle that carries the

shaman between worlds.

What will we explore together …

The Art of Shamanic Journeying

You will receive training in shamanic journeying. Together, we will explore the shamanic worlds,

learning to journey, receive and bring back the knowledge and guidance encountered along the way.

The Sacred Drum

We will work with the shamanic drum, exploring how to transform it into a Power Object and

Sacred Tool.

When a drum becomes a Sacred Drum, it takes on a deeper significance within the work, opening

the way to a more powerful relationship with its spirit.

We will journey to meet The Cosmic Spirit of The Drum, connecting our individual drums with

this powerful spirit.A selection of shamanic drums and rattles will be available for use during the weekend.

Shamanic Ceremonies

Ceremony will be an integral part of our time together. Through shared ceremonial practices, we

will deepen our connections and experience the strength and spirit of working together as a clan, a

tribe.

Meeting Your Spirit Allies and Helpers

You will journey to meet some of your own spirit allies and helpers, and learn how to establish and

nurture a strong connection with them.

These are compassionate and loving beings — enlightened, ascended and transcended presences

who offer guidance, wisdom and support.

All journeys will be guided.

An Introduction to Shamanic Healing

You will be introduced to shamanic healing and have the opportunity to experience and practise

some of the methods that continue to be used within shamanic cultures today.

This gathering is suitable for those who feel drawn to explore shamanic journeying, whether

encountering these practices for the first time or wishing to deepen an existing relationship with the

shamanic worlds.

A time for connection

Alongside the journeys, teachings and ceremonies, there will be time for sharing, connecting, nourishment and love.

This will be an opportunity to come together, explore ancient practices and deepen your relationship with the shamanic worlds.

A journey of discovery. A journey of connection. A journey of the Soul Flight.

Please note: The ability to visualise or otherwise sense is a requirement for participation in shamanic journeying.

Your Facilitator

Zohar Bahir

Zohar began her unique journey 40 years ago and has continued to develop her skills to this day. In 2014, following a dream career as an airline pilot, she decided to explore shamanic healing and travelled to the Amazon where she lived with the Shipibo tribe for several months.

During this time, she underwent an advanced and intense initiation with a Shipibo maestro curandero, a master healer.

After returning to the UK with newfound inspiration, she completed a 3-year course in Classical Shamanism and has been working as a shamanic practitioner ever since.

When it comes to teaching Zohar believes in an experiential approach and her workshops reflect this methodology.

Testimonials

Her ability to hold space is second to none as her calming presence puts you at ease while her strong spirit inspires courage and confidence.

With her having so much to share and there being so much to learn from, she is not only a healer but also a great teacher and guide.

Charlie S.

What transpired from those profound journeys and the integration process I was instructed to carry out at the end, proved to be the culmination of all the therapeutic work, mainly Jungian and body work, that I’ve done during my long life.

I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone with an interest in shamanic teaching. Zohar is experienced, conscientious and trustworthy and works to the deepest levels of understanding.

Sarah I.

Zohar explains the theory and practices very clearly in her workshops and in an intriguing way that I was able to retain the
information and put it into practice. Zohar makes her workshops an amazing and insightful experience.

She is a fantastic teacher who brings her vast experience and inspiration to every workshop and in addition, she is understanding, patient and compassionate.
