Sponsor a Training
Bring the incredible guiding and healing power of shamanism to your community.
As a teacher of shamanism, it is such an honor to be invited to offer a basic, advanced, or long-term shamanic training or series of trainings in someone’s local area or online community.
These basic and advanced trainings together (except Advanced Shamanic Divination) meet all of the educational prerequisites for world-renowned shamanic teacher Sandra Ingerman's 2025-2026 Two-Year Teacher Training.
Our human community is in need of the wise, loving, and striking guidance of the helping spirits, as well as the profound healing help that they have to offer. And the Earth herself is being polluted in the name of selfish financial gain - yet we hold the power to transmute the toxins in the environment, and within ourselves.
Whether it’s a basic workshop on shamanic journeying, divination, and healing methods, or a training to explore advanced shamanic healing methods or become a shamanic practitioner, when you sponsor a course or a series of them, you pave the way for your community to experience and offer the powerfully guiding, healing, transformative, and unitive practices of the shaman.
Please Note: These sponsored public trainings are different from private shamanic trainings.

Please Note: The following trainings focus both on skills employable on behalf of oneself as well as on behalf of others.
BASIC TRAINING:
The Shaman’s Journey - Basic shamanic skills, such as journeying, divination, and healing methods. This or an equivalent is the prerequisite for all advanced trainings, EXCEPT where otherwise noted.
ADVANCED TRAININGS:
Shamanic Medicine for the Self and for the Earth - Transforming personal and environmental toxins using spiritual methods. The Shaman’s Journey is a useful, but not necessary, prerequisite.
Advanced Shamanic Divination - Further preparation, methods, and skills for channeling relevant and accurate spirit messages.
Shamanic Extraction - Removing misplaced energy connected to pain and illness.
Shamanic Soul Retrieval - Returning soul energy lost due to trauma, and then helping the more-present client cultivate a healthier self and life. An application will be required.
Shamanism, Dying, and Life After Life - Explorations in working with the dying, healing the deceased, and life beyond death.
Shamanic Healing with Spiritual Light - Using divine light, unlimited spirit power, and other evolutionary practices to ignite profound healing.
LONG-TERM TRAINING:
One-Year Shamanic Healing Practitioner Training - A comprehensive, integrated, and community-focused training in Shamanic Medicine for the Self and for the Earth, Healing with Spiritual Light, Extraction, Dying and Life After Life, and Soul Retrieval work - as well as sacred experiences unique to this program. This training is intended to prepare students to serve as light-radiating professional shamanic practitioners, taking this work out into the world. An application will be required.

Generally, in-person sponsored training is about $25 an hour per person, and online sponsored training is $22 an hour per person. However, this can vary based upon associated travel costs and venue revenue split policies.

As a sponsor, you tend to the "physical world" details of a training, including:
Securing an appropriate non-residential or residential venue,
Securing lodging for me (unless venue itself is the sponsor),
Assisting with advertising,
Handling participant registrations, questions, and issues (if venue does not),
Handling any accessibility issues (if venue does not),
Other roles as necessary specific to the situation.
All of the teaching, as well as providing a course description and other material as necessary, falls to me. And in exchange for your work:
Individuals as sponsors: Free tuition to the sponsored training or 10% of my net training revenue; your choice!
Venue owners as sponsors: The agreed-upon training revenue split.
