Call of the Shaman

First year training

This course utilises a range of original techniques, that access the heart of Shamanic Healing. To include sound, energy work, seeing, regression, soul retrieval, runes and the healing powers of nature and shamanic dreaming. It will guide you through a personal journey of transformation and empowerment.

Some of the practical work is held outside in nature at places of power - the true Shamanic classroom.

On completion of this course, participants have the choice to compile their own case-studies to become registered shamanic healers. This training is suitable for beginners and those with experience. All held in a safe and confidential environment.

Shamans worldwide work with a map of inner and outer energies, The World Tree, The Web and lifeforce. Learning to balance these energies creates healing on all levels, working with the rhythms of the moon, nature and tree spirits develops oneness.

Transmuting energy from one state to another during healing work or deep inner meditation is the essence of true alchemy. The Shaman uses Animals of Power to understand soul energy and how we link to the animal kingdom.

July 8-9 2023 : The Shaman Is The Caller Of The Sounds Of Creation

Everything comes from sound, we are sound, when combined with deep energy healing it takes the work to a sacred and profound space. Using a complete system of healing sounds that transforms energy on all levels.

When mental and emotional energy become blocked within the body it can create patterns and belief systems that restrict us from our true selves. Working with healing regression to access the cause or root of these energy patterns, releasing the past to become fully in the present.

The Shaman sees into all realms of being, the Otherworld and This World to communicate in an inspirational and grounded way. The messages from these realms have great relevance to our lives. Learning to use Higher Perception to access information and travel to the spirit realms to meet our Master Shaman.

The Shaman works in the North, East, South and West and in the centre to connect to the elements of Fire, Earth, Air and Water to come into harmony with the forces of Nature, balancing the Ego with the Spirit and connection with the power of The Healing Drum and Rattles.

To bring back fragmented and lost parts of the soul is one of the most important parts of Shamanic healing, to enable us to be fully alive and present. Working with original Soul Retrieval techniques and partaking in an initiation ceremony to awaken your true self.
