According to the mystic traditions and modern definition, the “Shaman” is the one that sees the spirits. This can be achieved with different types of aids and remedies. By far one of the most common ways to access the altered state of consciousness is sound.

After personally visiting and experiencing “non-commercial” shaman rituals on the border of Siberia and Mongolia and training in the USA, your instructor Marko offers this private 3-hour masterclass session, where you will learn the art of Shamanic Drumming from the professional sound therapist. This activity is ideal for individuals that are drawn to mysticism and are feeling a deep connection with this 35,000+ years old tradition.
