Ancient Wisdom Shamanic Journey Group
Downtown Shops Activity Room 53 Main Street, Toms River, NJ, United StatesCOMMUNING WITH THE ANCESTORS The veil between the world grows thin at this time of year. It's a good time to honor our ancestors and seek their guidance. We will explore the Middle World, also called the Astral Plane. The Astral Plane is a reflection of the physical plane. This is where we meet those who have walked the earth before (and after) us as time doesn't exist in the way the physical world understands it. Time is rather a river without banks. Let's visit with our ancestors and discuss how miracles come to be. Pre-registation is required for planning purposes. https://bookme.name/mindbodyspirithome/ancient-wisdom
