What are We?

"Shamanic journeying with Quynn has been a powerful experience for me. I have gotten in touch with animal guides and answers to questions about current issues in my life, sometimes through images and sometimes through words. The sounding journeys have been especially moving. The energy seems to emanate from deep within the body through the toning and there is an interplay among the energies in the circle, which seems to extend into that timeless dimension in which we are connected with all. I was amazed at the sounds that came from within, effortlessly. The voicing of my pain, sadness, joy, etc., became one with the emotions of other women of other times and places. Quynn holds the space in a masterful way and it always feels totally safe. I feel free to express whatever comes." Susan in Tucson



The Institute for the Shamanic Arts was founded by modern shamanic intuitive Quynn Elizabeth in 1998. Its' purpose is to seek out and train individuals who want to improve their natural abilities in the shamanic arts* and to educate the public about the shamanic arts, their usefulness to individuals as well as their benefits to the community. This education happens through classes, performances, lectures, and adventures in Nature.

*The shamanic arts explore modern applications and benefits (emotional, mental, physical and spiritual) of consciously voyaging into the wilderness of one's mind for the purposes of healing, increasing communication skills and inspiring art.

What do we offer?

"I feel more connected with the Universe than ever before! And I know that this is just the beginning of my quest. I can see now how important it is for every person to learn how to communicate with their inner world. Thank you for showing me how!!!"
Alan, Computer Programmer

The Institute for the Shamanic Arts offers a series of beginning classes, as well as circles, classes and workshops which focus on various aspects of the modern shamanic arts (for detailed workshop schedule, go to "Class Schedule"). In addition to education, ISA offers a full spectrum of shamanic support through Mentoring, Counseling and Gatherings.

The Institute for the Shamanic Arts' offerings help each student:

  • Establish contact with your inner wilderness
  • Teach your mind and heart how to strengthen your intuition
  • Understand how the Universe speaks directly to you
  • Remember your pre-religion ancestry and learn how it applies to your life
  • Learn to use your natural abilities and to understand Nature
  • Research our collective and individual ancestral past
  • Co-Create a present and future that are in alignment with the principles of Earth.
    The Institute for the Shamanic Arts is looking for people who feel that they have been called to learn about and practice the shamanic arts, and are willing to offer their abilities in the service of Earth.

    To find out how to study at home, go on "At-Home Study".


    Who can Participate?

    Do you want to pursue shamanic training? Are you looking for personal growth?

    The Institute for the Shamanic Arts' class/workshop offerings can be utilized in a number of ways:

  • Take one class to learn, or enhance, shamanic skills
  • Pick and choose the classes that interest you, and that fit your schedule
  • Use workshops for personal/emotional and spiritual growth
  • Create a custom shamanic training schedule with Quynn
  • Dive into your shamanic initiation by taking all classes offered
  • Pay tuition by the class, week or month


    What to Expect
    If you are looking to find a place to study, The Institute for the Shamanic Arts might be a place for you, however, you should know what to expect.

    Housing: The Institute does not have living facilities for students, nor does it provide housing assistance. If you feel called to come to Tucson for this purpose, either for a visit, or for an extended stay, do your research and be prepared. One can only study effectively if one's fundamental needs, such as shelter and food, are taken care of.

    One option, for those who are coming to Tucson for a short visit (between one and seven days) is to stay in WomanKraft's guest suite. The WomanKraft building is a 1918 Queen Anne Victorian house and the guest suite (upstairs) is a delightful place to stay. The cost is $40 a night ($30 for artists) and includes use of the kitchen and bathroom, with a claw foot bathtub. To find out more, or to schedule a stay, email
    Quynn.

    Study Style: If you are looking for instruction about a particular cultural style of shamanizing and you are hoping Quynn will 'teach' you, ISA is not the place for you. Quynn does not teach any particular culture's approach, and she does not teach any student 'her' ways. Quynn is interested in each student listening within to find their own way to shamanize. If you are interested in furthering your study within a circle of others who are studying their own ways, then ISA might be a place for you.

    Where are We, When?

    "What a magical environment, right in the heart of Tucson. Your location (the beautiful WomanKraft Castle) reminds me of a Harry Potter House, created by women! A perfect setting for the shamanic arts" Billie, Consultant

    The Institute for the Shamanic Arts is located at the WomanKraft Art Center in the heart of Tucson, AZ.
    WomanKraft, a Non Profit Arts Organization, was founded in 1974 to claim, validate, and empower women artists and other under represented groups. It is a perfect home for the magical realm of the shamanic artist and poet. Quynn is pleased to be a part of WomanKraft's inspiring endeavor.

    Between October and April, classes happen in Tucson, Arizona. When June comes, The Institute for the Shamanic Arts goes on the road. Quynn breaks camp in Tucson and migrates North for the summer, offering Nature/Art workshops and ritual events in places of cultural significance and natural beauty around the Western United States.

    Cost of Classes
    The Institute for the Shamanic Arts occasionally hosts classes taught by a few different instructors, however, most classes are taught/facilitated by founder Quynn Elizabeth. All offerings by Quynn are affordable. Some are offered by Spirit Guided Tuition*, this means you ask within to know what payment you are to offer. Others have a listed, modest price and ISA has work trades and a sliding scale available for those in need.
    This payment structure ensures that anyone who is interested in attending classes can do so.

    *For the classes offered by Spirit Guided Tuition, if you are unsure about what to give, take note of prices for comparable services and ask within. You will come up with the perfect tuition.

    Payment can be made by session, class, or on a monthly basis.

    How do I sign up?

    Shamanic Testimonial

    On October 31st, 2001, I was sitting at home and saying to myself that I needed a life. Just for the heck of it, I decided I would make 13 phone calls that day. I pored through the back page of the Tucson Weekly ( a local newspaper) to get me started. Many things had piqued my interest: polarity therapy; shiatsu; hypnosis. At the time I had no experience or knowledge of "shamans", no more than anyone else. There was an ad for "Shamanic Journeying", by someone named Quynn. I had felt an urge and a call to participate in something greater than life as I knew it, and after reading only the few words of her advertisement, I felt drawn to telephone her.

    From that call, we arranged an individual meeting, and, the next week, I went to her shamanic journeying circle, offered through The Institute of the Shamanic Arts. Directly due to that very first journey (listed in 'Journeys'), I have since then felt an interconnectedness with my human and divine selves, I have, since then, understood that there is a spiritual connection between myself and all of humanity, and I have since had a reconnection with women energy.

    A year ago, I was sitting at home, alone, tired and bored. I had no urge to create, I had no friends, and I had little stimulation to go beyond those boundaries of safety I had set for myself. Quynn, the shamana-woman, welcomed my presence and encouraged my very being to soar. I could not have believed that a life could be so changed, but it happened to me.

    Since that one little phone call, in the past year, the women of WomanKraft have inspired me and supported me in all of my creative endeavors and continue to provide a place of kind voices, bright eyes, appreciation, and hugs. One little phone call.
    That is all I did, and yet look at all that came from it.

    Elaine Higginbotham
