• Shamanism II   "Discover the Shaman within You"

In this program you will discover, understand and apply the knowledge and wisdom of the Shaman and Healer that lives in all of us. There was a time in our ancestral history when most people of the world knew, understood, and used the knowledge and wisdom of the Shamans to heal themselves, connect with the Spirit World and receive guidance in major and everyday life situations. However, over time and the development and advancement of science and western medicine much of this knowledge and wisdom has been lost or you might say, “We’ve surrender our power to the person in the white coat or magic pill” You will learn the history of Shamanism, the role, secretes and power of the Shaman, you will learn that these powers still exist in all of us. You will learn how even today, we demonstrate many of our Shamanic qualities that our ancestors posses.

• Shamanism III

This is the third workshop in the Shamanic series of three programs.  In this intriguing workshop you will learn about the mysterious, powerful and spiritual world of Shamanism. The focus of this workshop will be learning and experiencing the Shamanic Journey. The Shamanic Journey is a process that has been used for Shamans all over the world to travel into the spiritual realms of the Lower, Middle and Upper Worlds to recover essences and or information for healing, of individuals and groups and retrieving valuable knowledge, wisdom and answers to lives questions and problems. You will learn how to journey into the spirit world to meet you power animals, which can serve as your guides, helpers and protectors in this world.

• Shamanism IV:  Soul Retrieval   “Soul Retrieval, Reclaiming Your Health, Personal Power and Life”

This workshop will teach you what is Soul Loss, and how to heal it, using the powerful process that has been practiced by Shamans and other healers for thousands of years throughout the world, known as Soul Retrieval. Soul Loss is something we all experience at different times and in different degrees. It’s a natural coping mechanism that helps us deal with serious and traumatic situations from different experiences in our lives. Soul loss occurs when we lose something important to us and could include loss of a bodily function from an injury, war, or illness; or when we suffer emotional pain and anguish from a divorce, death of child, spouse, or close friend. Soul Loss can also occur when we lose a material possession like your house through Foreclosure or something we identify closely with, such as your job. Soul loss can make us feel incomplete, depressed, disconnected from life. Soul loss can cause you to be in therapy for years with no healing. You will complete an exercise to determine if you might be suffering from soul loss. You will also witness a Soul Retrieval ritual with one of the students.
