Shamanism is not a belief system. It's based on personal experiments conducted to heal, to get information, or do other things. People ask me, "How do you know if somebody's a shaman?" I say, "It's simple. Do they journey to other worlds? And do they perform miracles?"

BASIC WORKSHOP: THE WAY OF THE SHAMAN (prerequisite)
Begin your training with this prerequisite workshop. Participants are introduced to the shamanic journey and to core shamanism, the universal, near-universal, and common methods of the shaman to enter nonordinary reality for problem solving and healing.
The entire weekend blessed my socks off! I had no real expectation of what would happen during my weekend, so it is with great joy that I say, “It changed my life.”

ADVANCED TWO-DAY WORKSHOPS | |
Shamanism & Personal Transformation teaches us how to work with our spirit helpers and in ordinary reality to transform personal attitudes, emotions, and blocks to living a fulfilled and inspired life. Exercises are provided to help participants see and move beyond personal limitations to a centered and compassionate state of being, to the benefit and ultimate transformation of our Earth and its inhabitants.
| |
SHAMANIC HEALING SERIES ADVANCED WORKSHOPS | |
Participants learn how to deal with the issue of dying and the destiny of souls from a shamanic perspective. Learn how to become experientially familiar with the after-death realms, helping a person to cross over, and classic psychopomp work.
| |
Participants are initiated into the extraction method of healing, including how to see, sense, and remove localized illness and pain connected to spiritual factors.
| |
Learn about soul loss and soul retrieval from a shamanic perspective, with a particular emphasis on the importance of shamanic power to successful soul retrieval. Participants will also learn how to re-empower a client's soul after it has been returned so that the client is once again spiritually power-filled, leading to greater health and well-being.
| |
Designed for students with advanced FSS training, this workshop offers the opportunity for hands-on healing practice using multiple core shamanic methods. It includes a review and practice of these primary methods: extraction healing, power animal retrieval, psychopomp work, and power soul retrieval. General parameters of a shamanic healing session as well as important ethical considerations will be discussed. Participants will experience "putting it all together" by applying multiple core shamanic healing methods in a solo session for another participant.

Ethical, Effective, & Inspired Shamanic Healing
This workshop is for those seeking to more effectively use their core shamanic training to alleviate pain and suffering and to help others in the world. A well-designed container for your healing practice that supports your clients and inspires you, can considerably enhance the effectiveness of your work. The training is appropriate for those beginning a shamanic practice, as well as for seasoned healers looking to deepen their work. The workshop combines lecture, small group discussion, interactive exercises, and journeying.

SHAMANIC KNOWLEDGE SERIES ADVANCED WORKSHOPS | |
Shamanic divination, journeying into nonordinary reality in order to obtain answers from the spirits, is essential for shamanic healing as well as obtaining useful answers for others. Participants in the workshop have the opportunity to engage in divination journeys for each other as well as for themselves. The workshop also includes experience in using various time-tested shamanic divination techniques to converse with plant and animal spirits, how to learn about the use of quartz crystals, and how to seek and receive revelatory knowledge from visionary sources.
| |
From ancient times, shamans have worked with the spirits of nature for healing, survival, and knowledge. By learning from the plants and animals, from the rocks and mountains, from the winds and waters, and from the sun, moon, and stars, shamans helped their peoples live in harmony with the universe. In a world now out of balance, the way of the shaman can teach how again to respect nature, our Planet, and its inhabitants at a deep spiritual level.
| |
This workshop provides an opportunity to explore the nature, meaning, and use of dreams among shamanic peoples, with dreamwork practices from a range of cultures. Subjects include shamanic dream theory and big dreams, as well as dreams and the soul, spirits, and shamanic journeys. Apply the knowledge to contemporary life, including the use of dreams in divination, health, and healing.
| |
Creativity is so ancient that it is at once fundamental and complex, even a driving force in our lives. Shamanism brings a fresh approach to Westerners for cultivating their creative potential. In this workshop, based on years of research, participants will have the opportunity to enhance their creativity through the practice of shamanic methods. Selected historical and anthropological examples will illustrate connections between shamanism and creative abilities, and a variety of specific shamanic exercises will be taught that participants can apply to their personal lives.
| |
In these challenging times, shamanic work, when combined with ordinary reality knowledge and action, can make an immense contribution toward effective long-term solutions for community and global problems. Shamanic divination - asking the fully compassionate spirits for answers to questions - is particularly helpful in providing inspired and workable ways to address complex issues in ordinary reality. This workshop offers practical methods to gain and apply wisdom from the spirits to resolve persistent problems facing humanity, our precious Earth, and its inhabitants.
