Meet a Sámi Shaman

Join a two-hour journey into living Sámi tradition at the Troll Museum in Tromsø.

About us

Stand in a place where shamanic traditions have been alive for thousands of years. Through the window, see Tromsdalstinden, a sacred Sámi mountain. This is not a reconstruction; it is a place where ancient stories and practices still live.

This rare experience allows you to meet a practising Sámi shaman and participate in authentic tradition. Learn about the three worlds of shamanic cosmology, take part in a traditional drum journey, and experience holding and playing a sacred drum yourself. Participants also have the opportunity to have a personal conversation with the shaman about his story and practices.

Included: Drum journey, introduction to Sámi cosmology, and conversation with the shaman

Please bring: An open mind and a respectful attitude
