In this introductory class you will learn about the principles and philosophy of shamanism, learn the journeying process to access spiritual information, discover your power animal(s) and learn how to work with them, learn the tools of the shaman, and explore the lower and upper worlds. This class is a pre-requisite for attending the monthly drumming circle and the two year trainings in core and celtic shamanism.
In the first year the students develop their own shamanic practice for self healing by working with the medicine wheel and developing a deeper appreciation for living in accordance with natural law.
The second year requires completion of the first year. Students learn shamanic techniques for healing others; including soul retrieval, extraction, and psychopomp work. Ethical considerations and how to develop a shamanic practice are also discussed.his training is experiential and open to all who have a basic knowledge of journeying and power animals. The Introduction to Shamanism class is required for those with no prior Shamanic experience. Students may apply only for the first year if so desired.
Cost for the two years is $1200. The last 2 classes will be two day classes where we will practice healing on community members and past shamanic students. Deposit is $300.
