Shamanism & Art

A very special class!

Shamanic Exploration & Expression

A Community Collaboration of Shamanism and Art on Philadelphia’s South Street with Danielle Stimpson

Shamanic Journeys, or trips to the Spirit World, are the foundation of any Shamanic practice. These unique drop in classes will focus on experiencing and exploring these realms in trance-based meditations using drumming (no plant helpers, psychedelics or stimulants) with guidance and support. Students will then express their experiences artistically in any medium they wish.  Literal or abstract, visual art, written account, music or performance; all expression is welcomed and encouraged.  All students who wish to take part will be included in an Art Show and discussion that  is open to the public (yet to be scheduled).

Shamanism is not based on any specific religion, spirituality or understanding and is open to all without judgment or stigma.

This one of a kind program is being co-hosted by The Community Cultural Exchange and the Arts on South Project, which opens up vacant retail space along South St. to Artists groups to invigorate the corridor in a troubled economy.

Danielle, our Founder and a long time South Street resident, is beaming with pride over this project and would love to see you join in.  Explore your own inner artist and connection to Spirit while supporting Philadelphia’s South Street and The Community Cultural Exchange.

2 offerings a week!

Wednesdays 1-4pm and 5-8pm, 10/4-10/26

Please be prompt. Bring yourself & any art supplies you wish to donate

Reason to Celebrate!

Danielle Stimpson marks 3 years of teaching Reiki!

It’s hard to believe it’s been three years since I taught my very first Reiki classes at Philadelphia Community Acupuncture!  In that time I have taught just about 100 students in levels 1-master, Reiki & Crystals and Introductory Shamanism.  I could not be more grateful for all of my students, colleagues and friends who have supported me along the way!

I’d like to share the celebration with all of you, so…

From now through Friday September 9, if you enroll in any upcoming Reiki or Shamanism class with me

I’ll invite you to take $20 off of your tuition! 

I’m currently enrolling Reiki levels 1, 2, and Master Teacher & Intro to Shamanism in Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Cape May Courthouse NJ. 

I hope you’ll join me for a class soon.  Thank you everyone!!!

Danielle Stimpson, Founder

Reiki, Shamanism and the Paranormal

What is Reiki? What about Shamanism? Danielle explains on Shadows Radio

On August 10, our own Danielle Stimpson had the pleasure of sitting down with Mark Davis and Rebecca Lynch on their web-based Radio show “The Shadows”.  Their show focuses on the Paranormal, including ghost hunting and investigations.  During this show, Danielle discusses both Reiki and Shamanism and how they relate to the Paranormal field. Danielle discusses at length the practice of Reiki, the many differences within the Reiki system,  and how one can be attuned and study to become a practitioner.  She also discusses and compares the Chinese energy medicine system of Meridians, Vedic energy theory including Chakras, and combined systems as found in Thailand.

On the topic of Shamanism, Danielle gives some clarity to “Spirit Guides and Helpers”, the shamanic journey, trance states and working with human spirits.  She opens up about her personal practices of Reiki and Shamanism and how she uses them to help clients while respecting their boundaries, and even makes mention of religious conflicts to working with spirits (like those seen in Islam, for example)..

Danielle had the opportunity to answer questions from the hosts and listeners including:

  • How does Reiki work with Chi?
  • Do you have to be psychic to practice Reiki?
  • Have you encountered a lot of ‘fake’ Reiki Masters”?
  • And of course, how do these practices relate to the paranormal and how can these techniques help during a paranormal investigation?

Listen to the show by visiting the show’s archives here. Scroll down to Shadows Radio 08-10-2011 and click to download. Enjoy and thanks for listening!

You can listen to The Shadows Radio live every Wednesday night at 7pm on ParaX Radio Network.

Learn Reiki Philadelphia and Danielle will be joining Mark and Rebecca October 8 at Fort Mifflin in Philadelphia, PA for a truly great event.  General admission is just $6, and you may also purchase tickets to lectures or even take part in a paranormal investigation (which will be Danielle’s very first!) All proceeds go to help support Historic Fort Mifflin.  To learn more about the event or to purchase tickets online visit The Shadows Website.

We hope to see you there!
