Councils of the Whistling Elk

Information about the Councils

Councils of the Whistling ElkCouncils are a result of the many Shamanic training events led by Lynn Andrews over the years. Councils come together to share in the Sacred tasks and Teachings created by Lynn and the Sisterhood of the Shields, providing us with the Sacred space and opportunity to explore our Shaman selves in deep and often profound ways. 

Councils gather together and share the Teachings of the Sisterhood of the Shields.  We hold sacred space for each other.  We do ceremony together and support each other in bringing our tools into our daily lives such as our drums, rattles, sacred art and more.

Each meeting is different and each Council is different as they develop their own paths though the Teachings. They are an opportunity to meet and study with others in your area interested in these shamanic teachings.

Check out the current Councils below. If you are interested in participating in a Council in your area, use our email form BELOW and request more information.

Even if there is no Council in your area at present, please feel free to email your information, and you will be contacted as soon as one is organized.

In the form below, please provide the time zone to help us find a council near you.
