ISC
MEMBERSHIP
AFTER
YOU JOIN
~
After your membership form and fee has been received, you will
be sent an email welcoming you to the ISC. You will be signed
up to the ISC group email network and to the online members’
forum and given simple information on how to use them. You will
be able to come to meetings, ask for help or advice, offer information,
share ideas and get involved in the way the ISC is run.
As this is a self-organising community, there is no central leadership.
You will not be told what to do when you join the ISC. Instead
there will be a variety of opportunities available and it is up
to you how you want to work with them.
Many
members live in the UK but there are also ISC members in many
other countries. Even if you can’t come to events, it is
possible to get involved in other ways, either online or through
shared Spirit work. As a circle, we exist both in physical reality
and in the Spirit world, and it is good to remember we are connected
wherever we are, and that we have the ability to work together
in spirit.
There
are no “duties” for members as such, but it is good
if you make these two journeys before or soon after you join:
•
What, if anything, do I need from this shamanic community?
• What, if anything, can I bring to this shamanic community?
This
will help you to think about your commitment to the community,
how you want to be part of it and what form that can take. You
may want to get involved in workgroups or you may simply want
to feel connected. It can also be an opportunity to find out more
about who you are when you are in community and what it means
for your shamanic practice. If you want to share journey teachings
or thoughts on this, there is dedicated space for it on the Members
Forum.
It
is possible to contribute to the ISC in many ways – practically,
spiritually, personally. Any member of the ISC can offer to host
a meeting or share a piece of shamanic work, or suggest ideas
for how we can continue being together. There is a lot of advice
and support available if you want to do something but are not
sure how – log on to the Members Forum and find the help
you need.
The ISC is the circle – the circle is the ISC. There is
no readymade recipe, only a space to step into and take your place
in community. Passion and Responsibility.

hope you will join us - click here to become
