Series 2, Episode 4: Drumming in the dream space - How a shaman works with dreams
41:21 Share

Let the dream roll begin! Dave and Laura welcome UK based shaman Evelyn McDonald on board the Dream Boat with her drum, rattle and incense, and drift off into the shamanic dream space. 

Eve talks about her work as a medicine woman, an ancient spiritual healing practice at the heart of many indigenous cultures since the beginning of time. She had the gift as a child growing up in Grenada and was finally called to follow its healing path after a career in the corporate world when she came to the U.K. The team looks at how shamanic practice links with Lucid Dreaming and the work of Arnie Mindell who wrote the Dreaming Body and runs the Process Work Institute in the US.  They enter the shamanic consciousness, a dreamy world of dream journeys, soul retrievals and vision quests, all to the beat of Eve’s amazing drum and rattle. (Dave is drummed into a trance pretty early on!) Prepare to be transported into another realm.  The Dream of the Week opens up the universe of creation held in an enormous sphere as we enter the cosmic dance. This is a dream space of harmony and oneness with Eve’s shamanic interpretation of attunement and vibration.  Dave and Laura absorb the dream’s deeper message before Eve and Dave rattle and drum out the session.
