    'Becoming one with our Earth'

    (scroll down for more dates)

    A series of six 3 day weekends every two months studying the contemporary areas of shamanism with an emphasis on eco reciprocity. You will be embarking on your own personal eco shamanic journey within a community of like minded beings (and the more than human world) whilst also learning all the major shamanic healing techniques. There will be a certificate of completion awarded following the course if all weekends have been attended and assignments completed.

    Areas covered are (but not limited to) as follows:-

    Perception, awareness and sensation - diving into ourselves as Earth - a marriage of senses and spirit (the sixth sense).

    Genius loci - spirits of land and nature, space and place; accessing places and spaces of power; connecting to the more than human world (plants, animals and other earth forms).

    The elements - a deep look at fire, earth, air and water (the course is designed around the cycles of the year).

    Energetic medicine techniques and the recovery of power - identifying and remedying misplaced energy and power.

    Soul retrieval - the return of spirit essences for a more fulfilled life, for you, others and the more than human world.

    Pilgrimage and vision quest - understanding the process of the journey within and without.

    The shamans horse (drum, rattle, sistrum and bell) - healing circles and the instrument’s voice or song.

    Psychopomp (death and dying) - assisting the dying and dead to find their true place of rest.

    The beginning and end game - the nature of time, connection to source, authenticity, the ego and icons.

    Dates: all weekends run from 6.30pm Thursday to 3 - 4pm Sunday and places are limited to 14.
