The Story of SHAMANCYCLE
In a dream Eagle came to Phoebe Songbundle. Eagle
held an axle in her sharp claws and sang:
"Build an Eagle bicycle for
your people. I will shield them from the sun with my wings. I will look
across the Playa with my flaming eye. I will show you where healing help is
needed. Go now and build the multi-rider bicycle."

VISION MISSION VALUES
~ The Shamancycle is the clean, efficient, mechanical manifestation of our Vision, Mission & Values.
~ In building the Shamancycle we verify that creativity and conscience can come together and connect diverse people for breathtaking change.
~ We invite you to ride the Shamancycle. We seek to collaborate, educate, and empower through the design, building and use of a large-scale community mobile art bicycle.
Our shamanically conceived vehicle will enable us to journey across the Playa in a healing pod. We will make housecalls; we will engage in spontaneous performative actions. Our mobility will encourage new alliances between Tribes.
Our Shamancyle is the outward and visible sign of invisible, spiritual power.
What We Believe:
The Shamancycle is a monument to the reality of the Imagination and the medicine power of big art.
Community through collaboration:
Shamandome, members of Curious Forge and the New York Underground Museum are utilizing their collective infrastructure to help bring the Shamancycle to life.

Founders Katrin and Barnaby explain the meaning of Shamanism, Soul Retrieval, Power Animal and Shamanista:
SHAMANIC Journey Shamans have the ability to reach altered states of consciousness which are often induced by the sound of drumming or rattling. Once they reach this state called “Nonordinary Reality”, shamans travel to three different realms, the Lower World, the Middle World, and the Upper World, where with the assistance of power animals and compassionate spirits they can retrieve healing help and information for patients, family, friendsand community.
EXTRACTION Healing
The shaman journeys to the drumbeat in order to connect with their power animal and spirit guides. Following a brief diagnostic journey, the shaman can then remove bad
vibes, nasty hitchhikers, stuck up energy, anger or frustrations. We all need a clean out!
SOUL
RETRIEVAL
A simple and brief healing to find your lost soul parts and bring them back to you, so that you can catch up on your evolution with a fresh start. Soul parts can wander off during and just before a trauma, abuse, a car accident, a surgery, a bad breakup….. We can bring them back to you, and you will later decide how to incorporate them back into your life.
POWER ANIMAL
You have one already. Let’s go find it and put it to work protecting you, and guiding you on journeys to nonordinary reality, where a lot of surprise resolutions are a gift from the
universe. Why not exercise more of your options in life, mind body spirit cosmos heart? 2012 here we come!
SHAMANISTA
As a form of respect, we like to reserve the term “Shaman” for our teachers and
practitioners from native cultures. We coined this word to describe a serious shamanic practitioner who is drawing from various traditional healing practices combined with his or her own unique healing talents.

Education
The head moves, the wings move, the tail moves. The parts are manipulated by the 6 riders. Note the two bucket seats for passengers!
After Burning Man, perhaps the Shamancycle will have another life, traveling to schools to teach environmental respect. Phoebe Songbundle is a Native Educator known to thousands of school children. She teaches with songs, stories and dance. Songbundle dreams that she will be able to partner with a raptor specialist to bring real Eagles and Hawks to schools. Eagle is an "apex predator" That means Eagle can teach the importance of clean water, land and air to the health of all living things. Songbundle sees children
riding the Shamancycle and learning self-respect and environmental respect.
