The Parava School of Shamanic & Creative Arts

Where shamanism meets theatre!

We tend to see shamanism and theatre as two very different areas. But they are indelibly and often unnoticeably linked to form an empowering mirror that reflects who and what we are within our relationship with life.

We only have to identify with favourite movies or dramas to know what this is about, how the action contained within them can help us relate to something that is going on in our lives and which we identify with. In this sense, the action forms a mirror for us to look into, so that we unconsciously interact with what is taking place.

The School provides a banner beneath which we can use as an enlightening education on authentic shamanism and the arts, and this inevitably carries with it events and performances for everyone to enjoy.

Parava means "transformation", "change", or "exchange", and symbolises the positive effect we get from experiencing a relevant piece of drama, music, dance, movement. 

Actors and performers, often students who have had a little Parava training, and others who are attracted to work with us, will come together to provide a kaleidoscope of colourful and enriching experience that will polish our inner mirrors beautifully and touch our hearts and minds with a new sense of wellbeing and enthusiasm. 

Stay in touch to find out what we are working on and what you can come along and take part in or simply enjoy!


We are looking for enthusiastic people to join us!

If you can act, sing, dance, if you enjoy simple movement, mime or role-play, come along to our workshops and have some fun! 

If you are interested in shamanism and the way it was used in the western world long ago, come along. The Romani people used shamanism authentically and often merged it with theatre and music, performing in market-places, or in private houses.

Don't fear expressing yourself, as it helps with gaining self-confidence, a stronger sense of identity and wellbeing, and where you can strengthen your mental health and awareness of personal boundaries.
