Introduction

In recent times, there has been a remarkable surge in individuals feeling the ‘call’ to explore and nurture their spiritual gifts. This awakening is a profound recognition of our essence, as we are predominantly spiritual beings. By acknowledging this truth, we have already embarked on a journey of growth and blossoming.

Shamanism, one of the oldest spiritual practices known to humanity, dates back tens of thousands of years and spans across various cultures globally. Its enduring presence speaks to its deep connection with the fundamental aspects of human experience and the natural world.

At the heart of shamanic practice lies the art of journeying. Shamanic journeying is a profound meditative state where practitioners, often through rhythmic drumming or chanting, enter altered states of consciousness. This practice can be compared to closing one’s eyes in order to see more clearly. It serves as a bridge to the spiritual realm, offering insights, healing, and guidance.

This training is designed to establish a solid foundation in shamanic journeying, equipping participants with the essential skills and knowledge for a deeper engagement with shamanism. It’s an invitation to connect with timeless wisdom, paving the way for personal spiritual healing and growth.

Course Structure

A) Distance Healing, Energetic Cleansing & Your Power Animal (approx. 2 hours)

Before the training begins, we start with a remote healing and energetic cleansing session. This work prepares you for the training and can be understood as a first step into – and connection with – the energetic path you are about to enter. The focus is on clearing interfering energies or beings that may have accumulated since your last healing or cleansing work with me, bringing your energetic field into a clear and balanced state for the training, and establishing the connection with your Power Animal.

This session also strengthens the connection between us. Shamanic training is deeply personal work, and a good human connection, mutual understanding, and familiarity with how we work together form an important foundation for the course.

For new clients, the required initial separate session focuses on deeper foundational work: over the course of a lifetime – and often through ancestral or past-life influences as well – a person may carry considerably more accumulated energetic influences than can be addressed within the two-hour preparatory session included in the course. These may include interfering energies or beings, attachments, ancestral influences, unresolved past-life material, curses or black magic, as well as influences connected with the home or property.

This initial session also gives us the opportunity to get to know each other and establish the personal and energetic connection that our work together is built on. Once this foundational clearing is complete, the training can begin – and the session included in the course then serves its intended purpose: preparing your energetic field specifically for the training and clearing anything that may have accumulated since our previous work.

After this preparatory work, I will undertake a journey for you to find the power animal that wishes to appear and support you at this stage of your life. In addition to a detailed audio report of the entire session – including my journey and the power animal that revealed itself to you – you will receive a multi-page power animal guide prepared personally for you. It explores in depth the medicine, qualities, symbolism, as well as the light and shadow aspects of your power animal. It also includes insights and questions for your own continued work and future journeys with your power animal. The discovery and integration of your power animal is a deeply personal gift – offering guidance, strength, and companionship as you continue your path of self-discovery and spiritual growth.

B) Shamanic Journeying Foundations: Three Personal 1:1 Sessions (approx. 4 hours total)

Course Requirements

For participants to fully benefit from the “Shamanic Journeying Foundations” course, the following requirements apply:

Scheduling of Subsequent Sessions: The course consists of three personal sessions, each scheduled a week apart. This weekly structure allows participants time to process and practice the teachings from each session before advancing.

Commitment to Daily Practice: Participants are required to dedicate 10 to 20 minutes each day to their homework during the training period. This commitment is crucial for reinforcing the skills and concepts learned and for personal advancement in shamanic journeying. Full commitment to the daily practice is mandatory.
