​
What is an “Introduction to Shamanism” course?
Introduction to Shamanism is an experiential course where you learn core shamanic techniques to connect with nature, expand your awareness and ways of knowing and apply what you learn in everyday life.
​
What will I learn on an introductory shamanic course?
You’ll learn foundational techniques taught in experiential workshops, with a focus on nature connection, practical personal development and grounded methods you can continue to use after the course.
​
What is shamanic practitioner training?
Shamanic practitioner training is a longer, in-person training programme that teaches the arts of shamanic practice, including approaches for healing work, working with nature and ancestral kin and being supported through your personal journey of transformation.
​
After the course, you will be able to operate as an independent shamanic practitioner capable of:
​
-
Applying diverse shamanic healing skills and practices to help yourself and others;
-
Connecting deeply with the natural world;
-
Tapping into ancient and collective wisdom;

Leading ceremonies;
