 Since the dawn of time, humans have danced to the rhythms of their heart and cycles of nature. Rhythm calls to us from deep within, draws us into a world of joy, power and magic. TranceDance – spiritual dance – is deeply rooted in the shamanic and spiritual traditions of our ancestors.
Power Animals focuses on the shamanic tradition of communication with Spirit through the medium of spiritual representatives, such as animals and spirit guides, with the goal to initiate or improve integration between participants' ordinary lives and awareness of spiritual guidance.
This workshop is appropriate for those new to Power Animals, as well as those with some experience, seeking to deepen their understanding and experience.

Facilitator
Gerry Starnes, M.Ed. began his practice working in residential treatment, using both psychological and
medical treatment models in the mid-1970s. Finding the results of these
modalities limited, he began a 20-year journey through energy healing
and other alternative methods of healing.
In the 1990s he encountered shamanism, and found it to be the most powerful
methodology for healing in all the realms. As a contemporary shamanic practitioner,
he now offers group and individual sessions, holds regular classes, and presents
a variety of workshops in Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio.
Gerry is a Founding Member of the Society of Shamanic Practitioners, and Executive
Director of Ravens
Grove Foundation for Healing.
