ShamanicTraining

Shamanism is the world’s oldest form of spirituality and healing and has been practiced since the dawn of mankind, and perhaps even before this time by our long-extinct Neanderthal ancestors.

The purpose of these experiential workshops is to examine shamanic initiation and healing practices common to all forms of shamanism, while at the same time exploring other, less well-known, and very powerful, techniques. We will learn how to find, and follow, an extraordinary path that allows us to travel Between Worlds and greatly enrich our lives, health, and relationships, while providing us with a better understanding of the universe.

Between Worlds
Rate: Two-day workshop - €200

The goal of this two-day workshop is to experience the power of shamanism: to learn what it is, and what it isn’t. We will focus on the fundamental shamanic practice of ecstasy to journey between the different cosmological realities to seek guidance from our power animals and spirit helpers. We will also experience the power of Native American divination and the medicine wheel.

No experience of shamanic journeying is required for this workshop, but when you leave, you will have the tools to journey on your own to bring balance and harmony back into the physical, emotional and spiritual levels of your being.

 

Between Worlds II
Rate: Two-day workshop - €300

The purpose of this two-day workshop is to further develop the techniques acquired in Between Worlds. By delving more profoundly we will examine advanced techniques such as Soul Retrieval, Intrusions and Extractions, and Dispossession (exorcism). This workshop requires a strong and reliable relationship with your Spirit Guides and Helpers.

 

Between Light and Shadow
Rate: Three-day workshop - €400

This workshop is intended for those who are already comfortable with journeying shamanically. We will build a sweat lodge in order to perform the most profound journeys where we will begin by working with our power animals, allies and spirit helpers to invite healing and guidance both for ourselves and for others. But to experience the enormous depths of shamanism, we must learn how to accept the light and confront the dark: only then can we invite the healing benefits of the ancestors, soul retrieval, and past life integration.

In extending our limits we will also learn how to work with the pendulum, crystals and stones, and even with Tarot cards. We will experience the deeper ecstasy of traditional shamans, and we will begin a healing with Grandmother Earth that may well change our lives.

 

Between Then and Now
Rate: Two-day workshop - €300

A shaman knows no boundaries of space or time. Shamans have always been, and are now. This advanced workshop examines the shamanism of traditional cultures and explores how it can be integrated into modern western lives. We will focus on different shamanic healing techniques such as those used in the ancient Bön-po culture of Tibet, and the Huna used in Hawai’i. We will also examine some of the techniques and rituals of other shamans from around the world.

This workshop requires a strong capability in shamanic journeying.

 

Personal Mentoring
Rate: Four sessions - €200

The personal mentoring program is designed to build a long-lasting and profound relationship with your Spirit Guides and Helpers. This program will normally run a minimum of six months. Mentoring can be performed in person but works exceptionally well at distance, using the telephone or internet for communications. Each session typically lasts around 90-120 minutes.

In order to benefit form this program you will need to be comfortable journeying. We will then build upon this basic skill and begin to learn as the traditional shamans did, that is, from the Spirits themselves.  In the words of Chris Davidson, a powerful shaman and wonderful person:

"Seek not to follow in the footsteps

of the Ancient Ones.

Seek instead what they sought."

We will start by learning how to differentiate between the mental and the spiritual and to go where the Helpers want. This involves a total surrender to their wisdom and guidance. These teachings are always profound and can encompass any and all of the recognised shamanic techniques as well as whatever other techniques your Helpers feel you have need of at any point in time.

Once you have completed this program you will be ready to help yourself and others shamanically, with no hesitation. You will have all the tools that you need to work spiritually for protection, healing and growth.
