Urban experiences meets raw Arctic nature
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
