This introduction to shamanism has been created to provide a solid introduction and grounding into shamanism. The course covers what shamanism is, where it comes from, and why and how it’s practiced. In the West we have a lost our shamanic traditions which has coincided with a deep disconnect from the earth, causing ecological and social devastation alongside individual sickness. To heal this disconnect and the destructive behaviours it has given brith to, we need to remember our ancient past. The course explores how this can be done in an authentic way that is relevant to those in the modern world combining both a theoretical understanding alongside an experiential journey into the path of shamanism.

It is centred around the tool of the ‘Medicine Wheel’ and the four elements- Fire, Water, Wind and Earth. This provides not just the teaching framework but also allows for you to go on a journey through the course, to truly arrive at a different place from when you started, connected to deeper realities and the helping spiritual forces that populate these realms.
