Homecoming: Deepening your spiritual connection with nature
In this training with Sophie Waterhouse, you will learn the shamanic process of journeying, a process similar to dreaming that connects us to an ancient and universal field of energy and insight.
By carefully formulating questions and cultivating receptivity to responses you will begin to develop relationships with shamanic allies, including what are known as power animals, to build a network of helpers to support your spiritual connectedness in everyday life. Shamanic journeying can greatly enhance a sense of interconnectedness with the natural world and a feeling of coming home to your deepest self.
There is a free homecoming introduction on Saturday 8th November 2025 from 2 pm to 3:30 pm. If you are interested in the group but unable to attend the afternoon, Sophie will arrange to meet with you.
The small group will meet in Sophie's therapy room in Hastings Old Town over two terms in 2026. The size of the group allows for more individual support as you develop your journeying skills.
