​

You will exit this class with a set of practical, beautiful shamanic skills that will help you navigate a wild and troubled world with more personal power and greater sense of connection to the immensity of Spirit and with less frustration and self-doubt. You can use these skills to empower your daily life and relationships. These skills and practices will give you everything you need to form a disciplined shamanic-based spiritual practice to help keep you balanced in a troubled world. If you are a healer of any kind, you can integrate these effective shamanic skills into your work. All of these practices were taught to me by my various teachers over 30 years.

No previous shamanic experience or knowledge is necessary to take this class. However, if you have had shamanic journeying experience, or have a relationship with a power animal or spirit guide, please let me know and I can offer you added tips during the class. We will use some shamanic journeying in the class. If you have never done this core shamanic practice, you’ll learn it here, and it will become a life-long helper and power skill.

Each class will focus on learning a single skill or practice (and sometimes two). We begin with a brief discussion of the shamanic concept that underlies the practice, so you’ll have a clear, grounded context for why this practice is useful and how it works.  All in all, you’ll learn practical skills and cross-cultural, core shamanic concepts that will take you into a fuller understanding of how shamanism can help you empower and beautify your daily life.

Here is an example: One class will focus on you learning a Gaelic healing song drawn from ancient Scottish healing chants. The song calls the power of “Pure Love of the stars, Pure Love of the earth, Pure love of the Sea” into yourself, another person, a situation or an environment. I’ll teach you the song in Gaelic and English. It’s a beautiful song, extremely calming and healing on its own. I’ll also explain how, with this song, you are invoking far more than a feeling, idea or emotion of love – you are calling on the primal creative powers and structures of the universe. I’ll teach you the concept of “directing power” and “calling vibration” with your voice, and you’ll leave ready to work with these concepts and with this song as a potent tool in the world, for yourself or others.

Other classes include:
  • A Siberian shamanic meditation for power-calling and protection;
  • Two beautiful healing songs from the Peruvian Shipibo people. You can use them as I present them, or apply your own words;
  • A potent Celtic “blessing” prayer that you can use intact or adapt with your own words;
  • A daunting song of “Invocation of Trust in Spirit” given to me by my helping spirits;
  • A deep Celtic shamanic meditation to the four directions (actually five directions);
  • A potent Celtic Shamanic “Three Cauldrons and Tree of Life” meditation/prayer of gathering power into the body for healing or protection;
  • A prayer-song that combines teaching from my Celtic, Mayan and seminary teachers, intended to open your skills to become a “walking force of blessing” that also opens your ability to grieve, because these powers are dependent on one another;
  • There just might be more too! (I also reserve the right to change, delete or adapt the lessons described above.)
The class will include three healing sessions (class #1, #4 and #7) that will help you open, integrate and solidify the powers you are gathering into your energetic matrix. The healing sessions will involve the cleansing, protecting and visioning power of the Tobacco Spirit (and theses sessions will help you begin a working relationship with this plant spirit which many shamans call the most powerful of plant allies.
