ABOUT US
The Calgary Shamanism Community consists of diverse individuals unified in their quest for a deeper understanding of themselves, the universe, and the spiritual realm. This network accommodates 'seekers' interested in spiritual development and personal growth by offering a platform for connection, as well as facilitating various local events, gatherings, and workshops.
Shamanistic principles span a multitude of cultures globally—from Siberia and South America to Turtle Island. While definitions of shamanism may vary, some core tenets remain universal across most traditions. These include the belief in a separate spiritual dimension, and the utilization of rituals and altered states of consciousness to engage with this spiritual realm.
Our community deeply values the importance of understanding and honoring the practices and traditions associated with the land we are on, advocating for a balanced and respectful relationship with our environment and its inhabitants.
It is for these reasons we, the Calgary Shamanism Community, acknowledge the unceded lands of the Indigenous People. Specifically, the lands of the Blackfoot Confederacy, including the Tsuut’ina, Stoney Nakoda Nations and the Metis Nation. As well as all people who have been living and working historically on Treaty 7 lands.
We make this statement to recognize the history which brought us here and our place within it. By doing so, we demonstrate our commitment to the Indigenous Communities in Canada’s journey of reconciliation.
Let us send a prayer of thanks to the diverse Indigenous Peoples whose footsteps have marked this territory from time immemorial. Thank you for your stewardship of this land and your enduring connection to the places we live and gather on.
We wholeheartedly extend a warm welcome to individuals of all sexual orientations and gender identities, including those who identify as 2SLGBTQQIA+. Our community prides itself on fostering an inclusive and affirming environment where everyone can explore their spiritual journey free from judgment or discrimination. We are committed to creating a safe space that respects and celebrates the diversity of its members, affirming that all are valued and belong here.

Embrace a transformative approach to wellness with the Sweet Medicine SunDance's (SMSD) shamanic healing paradigm. Contrary to the common belief of healing the body first, SMSD encourages a spiritual introspection to discover the root causes of physical ailments. Our bodies' signals are not merely symptoms to be treated; they are messages urging us towards authenticity and a richer life experience.
SMSD's philosophy emphasizes that true healing transcends the mere alleviation of symptoms. It involves a holistic restoration of balance across our Five Aspects, fostering overall well-being and harmony. By adopting this paradigm, we equip ourselves with the knowledge and tools necessary to break free from detrimental patterns that contribute to illness and imbalance.
The journey with SMSD is an invitation to heed the call of Spirit, reassess our life's priorities, and courageously make choices that align with our true potential. This path is not just about recovery; it's about stepping into the fullness of our destiny.
Join us on this profound path to healing and transformation—the time for change is now!
