My Totem: Woodworking Workshop

Instructors:
Wood: David Höner: German, English, Spanish
Yoga and Shamanism: Iris Disse: German, English, Spanish

The intention of the workshop is to make a totem that you can design according to your own ideas. Firstly, you will connect with a tree and see where it is growing. Then together we will cut it down. The tree is standing on our property. The final totem will be three to four meters high. You will use an axe, chisel, hammer and saw to define what you see in the wood. You will color it with fire or paint it to give form to the soul and shape to the wood spirits that live in it. A spiritual art object is created. A friend, a guardian, a keeper of one's own thoughts.

This will be a short course with shamanistic rituals, yoga, and meditation; with your own mind, with your own hands.

Bring along: 

A sense of adventure, heart and hand, imagination.
Your own set of chisels, hammers, foxtail saw.
A tent to sleep in, rubber boots, wash kit, hat.
(If you don't have a tent, ask).

We provide:

Covered platform for the tent, food and drink, showers, river,
miscellaneous tools ((axe, grinder, work station, etc.)).

Limited number of spaces: maximum 10 participants
Cost: $1,000 USD per person
