Build Your Skills, Power, and Community

Join us this fall for hands-on, in-person shamanic training to grow your healing skills, confidence, and inner power. Over three intensive months, you’ll learn powerful shamanic ideas and practical healing techniques you can use for your own well-being, to work with others, and to move farther on your path of service to Spirit, community, Earth, the future, and the Life Force.

Five In-Person Weekend Workshops

The workshops will be held on Friday-night/Saturday + Zoom calls.  These will keep you connected, practicing and building skills, and forging relationships with like-minded souls. This is an immersive, grounded experience for committed people ready to take a significant next step in their personal work and spiritual journey. 


This training program will focus on teaching these skills:


  • Core Shamanic healing techniques.
  • Daily spiritual practices for building inner power and connection to Spirit and otherworldly guides.
  • Psychic and energetic protection techniques.
  • Shamanic singing for healing and ceremony.
  • Intro to prayer with the Celtic medicine wheel.
  • Poetry and stories  as medicine (primarily Celtic stories).
  • Working with sacred Tobacco as a healing ally (level 2).
  • Learning the art of the “offrenda” - a beautiful offering bundle meant to deliver blessing and medicine to the spirit world, particularly helpful in ancestral work and “manifesting.”
  • Working on building personal “presence.” 


You can take this course purely for personal development and desire to expand your connection with Spirit. However, it will also give you “next level” healing skills to work with others. There will be some reading assignments, but most of the work is personal practice. Participants in this program may receive invitations to begin working in a healing capacity in overnight prayer and healing ceremonies and in other capacities. Also, this program will help prepare you, if you want, to participate in our three-night Winter Solstice community event.

Pre-Requisites

  • You should have at least some knowledge of shamanic ideas and it’s best to have at least a sense that you have some kind of otherworldly helper on your side. Part of the program will be to strengthen this important relationship.
  • Familiarity with “the Shamanic Drum Journey” technique is helpful,  but not crucial. 
  • If you have not taken our “Working with Sacred Tobacco” level 1 class, you will need to take the online version of it before the program begins (discounted to $200).
  • A commitment to do your best to attend all the in-person workshops. There will be no video or backups of these in-person meetings. If you need to miss a weekend, you will miss that part of the training.
  • A willingness to build communal relationships with fellow participants.
  • Start the process by filling out an application and returning it.

Why In-Person?

There are some things – perhaps the most important things – that simply cannot be taught online. Beng in community is very nourishing for this kind of training, and it's the way its been done for millennia. We will have two Zoom calls during the program to check in with each other, deliver other teachings, and to have questions and answer sessions.
