What you will learn

Initiation

Participants will undergo a series of challenging, initiatory rites through the Four Seeds Initiations. At the same time, working through the elements, connecting with spirit representatives from each one, and around the ancient tool of the ‘Medicine Wheel’, a structure will be created that can be used for personal and collective transformation. In the second year we will work with the remaining three directions, the below- Mother, the above- Father and the centre- the mysterious, creative source of all life.

Through these two years emphasis will be placed on connecting to the land through the language of offerings and participating in authentic shamanic ceremonies. It will also involve connecting with your ancestors and cleaning the lines of inter generational trauma that have been passed down. For any shamanistic revival to happen in the modern world, we need the support of all our ancestors. Once these important foundational elements are in place, we can move onto learning the art of becoming a shamanic practitioner.

Techniques of the shaman

In the third year we will focus on cross cultural shamanic healing techniques. This will ensure that any techniques that are learnt will have the backing of power generated through the first two years. At the same time, what is taught comes from nearly two decades of experience using these healing methodologies in the real world working full tome as a shamanic practitioner. They are not taught from theory but what is applicable and works in a modern setting. 

Training in Ancestral Healing, work to heal the dead, removal of poisons through Spirit Extraction, Power Retrieval and Soul Retrieval plus other lesser known techniques will all be covered.

Philosophy of shamanism

In the third year you will also learn a whole philosophy of what causes sickness, and thus, how it can be treated. This philosophy is one far removed from our modern perspective on reality, yet with the assistance of the spirits and backed up by the first two year’s initiations, participants will have the opportunity to be able to transfer this philosophy into practical application, to assist others to find real and effective healing.

For those wishing to go on to deepen and integrate the work much more fully, completing something resembling a traditional apprenticeship, there are now optional 4th and 5th years of the training.

Course commitment

This is a 3-year course. Initiates have to earn the right to learn the art of shamanic healing, this takes time and a lot of commitment. It is not something that can be rushed or forced. A lot of power needs to be generated first through initiation.

In between meetings there will be a lot of practises and rituals to complete, and the expectation of you giving the time and energy needed for these will be high.
