The practice of shamanism has survived well over 100,000 years due, in part, to a rather simple reason: it works.
Through divining the location of food sources, healing illness in the community, adapting to upcoming climactic changes, and beyond, the results that shamanic work sees helped shamans to keep their people alive.
And by using the shaman’s most important and fundamental ceremony – the shamanic journey into the spirit world – we can access insightful and powerful direction and answers, ignite physical and emotional healing, and experience the spiritual freedom to discover what is "out there" for ourselves. In other words, we can help ourselves and our communities to both survive, and even thrive, in the midst of modern-day challenges.
In this introductory workshop, originated by world-renowned psychotherapist and shamanic teacher Sandra Ingerman, MA, you will be introduced to the ancient practice of shamanic journeying for bringing guidance, healing, and empowerment to yourself and others.
In this sacred four-session adventure, you will discover:
- A clear definition of the shaman, and ways in which shamanism can be applied in both daily personal and community life,
- How Westerners can powerfully practice shamanism without appropriating Indigenous cultures,
- How to take your own shamanic journeys into the three worlds of non-ordinary reality – the spirit world – and what kind of incredible spirit helpers you can meet there,
- Forming full and enduring relationships with your personal power animal and spirit teacher for individual healing and direction,
- Ways to frame questions to the spirits in order to obtain the clearest answers - and how to interpret, and trust, what you receive,
- Shamanic dream interpretation with a Master or Mistress of Dreams in the world of nature,
- Channeling clear and accurate guidance for others in shamanic divination readings,
- Creating an enriching and supportive shamanic journey circle in your in-person or online community,
- The shamanic view of illness and healing, and an overview of the cures to the core causes of illness that shamans perceive,
- The power animal retrieval healing methodology for addressing chronic depression, illness, and misfortune, and restoring safety, health, and personal empowerment to another,
- The spirit boat community-based healing ceremony,
- And so much more.
This online experience, open to all, fulfills the prerequisite to participate in advanced shamanic healing trainings with myself and other ShamanicTeachers.com instructors, and places a warm focus on creating a loving and sacred container that powerfully supports our work together. In addition to the teachings and experiential exercises, each session includes multiple breaks and question-and-answer periods.
This workshop is both for those new to shamanism and seasoned seekers who wish to refresh or deepen their knowledge and practice. As we face rapid climate change, striking division, multiple levels of ill health, and beyond, reincorporating the path of the shaman can not only help us to live more meaningful and sacred lives – it also provides an ancestral, ethical, and results-oriented set of methodologies through which to gain solutions to contemporary challenges, access rich healing, and come into direct and loving contact with the forces of the universe firsthand.
In learning this ancient and fundamental ceremony, the doors of the universe are thrown open…and a new journey begins.
