Chris Luttichau created Northern Drum Shamanic Centre in 1998, an educational organization running training groups, workshops and wilderness trips for the study of shamanism, medicine teachings, meditation and nature awareness. Chris began the shamanic path in 1980, and began studying shamanism in 1982. After 30 years of study with indigenous teachers and elders, Chris is now the keeper of an inte
gral body of teachings that he shares in workshops and ongoing one-year and three-year training groups. The teachings cover a broad range of topics from healing and dreaming to spirit contact and self-development. Chris is the author of ‘Animal Spirit Guides: Discover your power animal and the shamanic path’ (2009). He has appeared on TV on BBC 1 and in Denmark on TV2, and has done radio interviews in the USA, Canada, and the UK. Northern Drum offers a comprehensive body of universal, spiritual teachings covering all main areas of life. These include topics such as meditation, healing, spirit contact, self-development and empowerment, the council way, nature awareness and dreaming. The teachings we offer are both time-tested ones that have been shared by elders, shamans and medicine people, and those that have come to us in recent times. They bring the stability and wisdom of an ancestral heritage, and the excitement of what is new and relevant to our lives now. The path that these teachings offer can lead to a true homecoming, and fulfillment of potentials, dreams and visions. They can help you find greater harmony with self, with others, with the world around you, and with life in general. These teachings have the power to make the great circle of life more whole again, and are part of what people of old called the ‘original instructions’, guiding human beings in how to live. We hold the vision of a future for humanity that is in better balance with the Earth and all of creation based on the way of the heart and respect for all life. In our workshops and training groups, Northern Drum is committed to support you on a journey of awakening, empowerment, healing and transformation, which you can discover at your own pace. The teachings we offer in our workshops and courses can guide you:
To awaken and raise your consciousness. To find your own vision, heal the past, and fulfilling your potentials. To be in life with an open heart, experiencing from the place of the re-awakened authentic self. To live in a better balance with yourself, with others and with all of creation as one part of the great Web Of Life, embodying the Way Of Peace, honouring the Great Spirit in everything that is. To honour Mother Earth and all that is born of her, seeing creation as sacred, and to live in way that respects all of life. To bring together two worlds: native people’s knowledge of living in harmony with the earth, soul and spirit, and our evolving knowledge of science, technology and global community. To make the great Circle Of Life more whole again, and to learn to sit in council, truly listening, speaking and making decisions from a place of healing, wisdom, clarity and respect. To help raise the consciousness of human beings at this important time in history, and to seek guidance from Spirit, ancestors and your higher self. To honour the feminine and the masculine as they express themselves in the sacred dance of life. To honour and protect the children’s fire, and all children of Creation.
