Where We Meet
Between the Worlds.
Every gathering here is open — the free weekly journey circle, the foundation course, and the week in Portugal. Come as you are, with or without experience. You will be gently guided from the first drumbeat.

In personLightkeepers’ Hearth
A sacred gathering for those who carry the flame of healing. Each Monday we sit together, drum, and journey — not only for ourselves, but for the world.
We tend what shamans have always tended: the Net of Light that runs between all living things. You don’t need experience, a drum, or a tradition. You need only a quiet hour and a willingness to listen.
How It Works
Mondays, 7 PM WEST (Portugal) / 8 PM CEST (Germany) · online via Google Meet · around 60 minutes · held in English · always free. Bring headphones and somewhere you can lie down.
The Two Training Paths
Elements of Shamanism
The foundation. Five modules, live online, in a small group — journeying, your power animal, and the three worlds. No prior experience needed.
Practitioner Training
The long path. A year of study, a week in Portugal, and shamanic initiation — for those called to hold the work for others.
Healing Sessions
One-to-one work. Soul retrieval, extraction, and power animal retrieval, held with care and at your pace.
Questions, Gently Answered
Do I need any experience?
None at all. The free Monday circle is designed so that a complete beginner and a seasoned practitioner can sit in the same journey and each get what they came for. Carolin guides you through every step.
Do I need a drum?
No. The drumming is provided — you only need headphones or speakers. If you have a drum or rattle, you’re warmly welcome to bring it.
Which language are the circles in?
The Monday circle is held in English. Carolin also teaches in German elsewhere, but the Lightkeepers’ Hearth itself runs in English only.
Is the Monday circle really free?
Yes, always. It is offered as a gift to the community — no payment, no upsell, no obligation. If it moves you and you want to go deeper, the training is there when you’re ready.
How do I actually join?
The circles run through our Meetup group. Click any event above, press “Attend”, and you’ll get the link by email an hour before we begin.
