Gathering Power & Discipline, Vanquishing Fear Patterns

Shamans understand that life is a dynamic recipe with four ingredients: gathering power, accepting power, fearing power and leaking power. Understanding these four parts of the "recipe" is extremely helpful for your spiritual development.

This class will deliver extremely powerful, fundamental shamanic ideas and practices to help you understand the nature of power, gather and use it, transform fear patterns that have limited you, identify and stop power leaks, and identify what power has been lacking or not fulfilled fully in your life.

This class condenses a lot of shamanic training into about two months.  The goal is to help you develop more spiritual power, to help you live a happier life, to feel more connected to the great mystery and beauty of being alive, feel less susceptible to being manipulated by other people’s energies, and be less vulnerable to falling into pessimism for the state of the world. The teachings and practices in this class are great for your overall spiritual development, and critical if you are interested in pursuing shamanic healing.

There are six Zoom classes, about 90 minutes each, one every two weeks. The Zoom classes are recorded so you can watch them (or listen to the audio) any time. Many people have Zoom fatigue, and that is why, for this class, the Zoom sessions are primarily healing ceremonies. The lecture/content part of the class will be sent to you between the Zoom sessions so you can work with it on your own schedule. The content is mostly in an audio format, with some text. This makes it easy to absorb.

We will use the “shamanic journey” as one method of working. If you are unfamiliar with journeying, you can learn this powerful technique rather easily. My Guide to the Shamanic Journey can help you, and I suggest you download it and work with it before the class begins. This class will also teach you potent meditations, physical practices, visualizations and breathing techniques that you can continue to use and refine in your own way.

The classes in mid-march will require you to purchase one of the most practical books I’ve ever come across, about $20. I’ll send you the info when you register.

Students will have access to a private web page with all of the content posted for quick access. The content will include brief writings and instructional videos and audios (meditations, prayers, healing and blessing chants, and journey ideas. All of these will be downloadable so you can keep them. You’ll receive emails when something has been posted on the class web page.
