Councils of the Whistling Elk
"A person of power attains their goal and remains whole as a person. To truly have power, you must first love yourself enough to stay in your own center of truth." Lynn V. Andrews
Information about the Councils
Councils are a result of the many Shamanic trainings 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.
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 through 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.

We usually do our act of Power every spring, it is always one of the most attended. The directions are in the book Teachings Around the Sacred Wheel. We do modify it a bit as we do it inside as group . And sometimes we use a pot of soil to plant our life arrow. Some of us take our life arrow out into the world and plant it alone afterwards. I have put mine in a fast flowing river to speed things along when in need.
