Workshops

to share knowledge, encourage curiosity, and provide deep personal experiences

This page gives an idea of typical workshops that I teach. Also collaboration with other teachers who work with similar themes or practices is great way to work. A custom schedule can be arranged to provide introductory workshops and retreats, for a weekend or longer.

Example list of topics:

An Introduction to Finno-Ugric (Baltic-Finnic) peoples shamanistic worldview
Rituals, Myths and guided journeys to The Otherworld
Bear and The wheel of the year (in nature and in our natural rhythm)
Northern perspective to feminine mysteries and traditional knowledge
Grief and rituals (Finno-Ugric lament tradition /weeping songs/ancestors)
Folklore and magic (spells, healing practices, communicating with nature, herbalism in Baltic countries)
Working with Ancestral knowledge ("For you to be born today from 12 previous generations, you needed a total sum of 4,094 ancestors over the last 400 years" /By Lyrical Zen)

I’m happy to customize a topic or program to suit your specific requirements. Contact me for booking or with any questions: contact@folkloristontheroad.com
