Introduction to Spirit-Guided Journeying
Sunday, January 11, 2026, 2-4 pm 

RitualCravt
7700 W 44th Ave
Wheat Ridge CO 80033

We each have a personal direct-line to spirit, but we may need to reawaken that line and and learn how to access it. The spiritual practices of Animism - often called Shamanism - offer an ancient and profound pathway into Spirit, and this short class is an introduction to the trance-work of "journeying," a vital skill for this path.

The ability to intentionally shift into a trance state and commune with our spirit-plane helpers is an asset to many spiritual paths, and journeying is one very dependable means of doing that - for guidance, for healing, and for the outright joy of direct connection with Spirit.

In this gathering, we'll play with the rudiments of drum-driven journeying to begin meeting the personal allies that live in that place of spirit. 
Welcome to this empowering path!

Please bring/wear:
— Note-taking materials
— Comfortable clothers you can move around and lay down in
— A bandana/scarf eye-covering (for maximum darkness)
— Optional: your own small blanket or yoga pad.

Fee: $30. To register, please visit the RitualCravt website.
This is a great starting point if you'd like to attend the monthly Drumming Circles at RitualCravt.



Monthly Drumming Circle for Experienced journeyers
Sunday, January 18, 2-4 pm 

RitualCravt
7700 W 44th Ave
Wheat Ridge CO 80033

By whatever name – trance, shamanic journeying, inner council work – if you’re already experienced with drum-driven journey practices, please join us for ceremony, journeying, explorations, drumming, and community. Hone your skills and visit with your Guides, within a circle of like-minded, supportive humans.

This is a circle, not a class, and beginning-to-advanced journeying ability is required. We’ll generally have time for several journeys: first on a theme of your own choosing, then others with varying intentions, applications, and styles of working. The options for exploration are unlimited!


You're welcome to bring:
— a drum or rattle
— journaling materials
— a small blanket or yoga mat 
— an "eye-curtain," bandana or other eye-covering 
— mainly, bring your own good intentions. All other items are optional. 

Please take note: This is drum- and rattle-driven journeying. Our policy is that this gathering is not the place for sacred plant practices or any consciousness-altering substances. Your participation will be taken as your agreement to honor this policy.

Fee: $8. Please sign-up in advance through Ritualcravt.

Facilitated by Renna Shesso. “I’ve been guiding journey groups since 2007, and offering other styles of ceremonial gatherings for longer than that. These practices – deeply personal though they are – were born and flourished within communities – humans gathering together in united energies and intentions, through hundreds of generations, in all times and places. When we circle together, we’re a continuing part of that.” 


Candle Magick
Sunday, February 1, 2-4 pm 

RitualCravt
7700 W 44th Ave
Wheat Ridge CO 80033

Real-world challenges? 

Magical leverage can unsnarl them.

Candle magick is a powerful way of spell-working. It engages heart, head and all of our sensory awareness. Using a candle as focal point, you’ll learn practical techniques and some big secrets for performing successful spells. From these basics, we'll look at how to custom-design beautiful and effective spells, from start to finish, including the follow-through: Getting results you can use.

Abracadabra, indeed. (Aramaic : Abraq ad habra = “I will create as I speak”)

Please bring:
— Note-taking materials

Fee: $34 includes Renna’s small book, Candle Magick. Click here to register with RitualCravt.

Teacher Renna Shesso has been designing and working effective candle-spells for several decades.
