shamanic healing – a journey of the heart (practitioner training)

“It will give you opportunity to explore and become more confident in the Shamanic path of direct revelation. The focus of this course is to connect to the self and let the energy of love inform and support you twenty-four hours a day. Gaining skills in shamanic healing practices to take out into the world as a Shamanic Practitioner. Being confident and present, transmuting our challenges with compassion, gentleness and sacred humour!” 

We live in times of great change and transformation. A time for personal healing of old wounds, traumas  which keep us in a fixed pattern of habitual response, a time  for re-connecting to our true self and Spirit which is all encompassing, all loving. Our earth needs us to wake up, step forward and re-envision the collective dream.

Are you ready to step –up?

Do you want to connect through the heart to the whole of life?

Are you ready to ‘roll up your sleeves’ and get on with it?

If you answer Yes, then I am inviting you to come on a three year journey with me. By the end of the course you will be a confident Shamanic Practitioner able to undertake healing ceremonies for people, animals and our land. All with the understanding that: ” It’s love that heals not techniques” (Sandra Ingerman)

The course will explore a variety of Shamanic Healing practices and methodologies including:

  • Soul Retrieval
  • Extraction Medicine
  • Psycho-pomp
  • Land Healing
  • Death & Dying
  • Working with your Ancestors & Descendants
  • Mask Work – ‘Theatre of Love’
  • Tools of the Shaman
  • Self-Care
  • Ethics
  • Working with Clients

to name but a few topics…

It will give you opportunity to explore and become more confident in the Shamanic path of direct revelation. The focus of this course is to connect to the self and let the energy of love inform and support you twenty-four hours a day. Confidence in working with your Helping Spirits.

Why 3 years? This course is not about giving you lots of techniques and a file of info that you can put on your shelf, ticking the box marked ‘shamanism’. It’s about LOVE ! Living a new consciousness, standing for the Earth and all her worlds. You are needed.

Gaining skills in Shamanic Healing practices to take out into the world. Being confident and present, transmuting our challenges with compassion, gentleness and sacred humour!
