Discover Your Warrior Face
Deepen Your Shamanic Practice with David Beck
Step into the ancient and powerful world of shamanic journey work as we explore fear, courage, and the part of ourselves that knows how to stand strong when life asks us to.
Across many cultures, warriors have used masks, face painting, ritual clothing, and sacred adornment as a way of stepping beyond their everyday identity and calling upon another aspect of themselves. The Warrior Face is not about becoming harder or more aggressive. It is about discovering the strength, courage, protection, and wisdom that already live within us.
Together, we will explore what it means to be a warrior in our modern lives. Where have we allowed fear to hold us back? What part of ourselves have we hidden away because we were afraid to be seen, to speak, to change, or to step fully into our own power?
Through shamanic journey work, we will travel beyond the ordinary and connect with our ancestors and guides to discover our own Warrior Face. We will explore the fears that have shaped us, listen to what they have to teach us, and begin to transform the places where fear has limited our lives.
You will have the opportunity to meet this powerful aspect of yourself and learn how to call upon it when you need courage, strength, protection, or simply a reminder of who you are.
Come prepared for deep journey work, honest reflection, meaningful exchange, and the beautiful magic that happens when we gather in circle and do this work together.

A Note From David
“In our modern world, there seems to be so much conflict between people regarding spiritual beliefs. I believe that the technique of journeying holds one key to this problem. I have journeyed with people from many different backgrounds and although we “see” different things, we share a common bond. If the concept of journeying was used as a way for all faiths to deepen their spiritual connections, it would open an area of shared experience that each could understand. This would allow them to meet in a place of equality and possible even open their perspective. I hope that our world can come together and if journeying can be a bridge, I say we start building it today.”
