NATURE OF INDIVIDUAL CONSCIOUSNESS - ADVANCED

Healing is done in layers, moving ever deeper inward, towards the core.  This course takes you deeper into individual consciousness, unveiling the layers and other areas of potential healing.  

Picture
THE FOUR DIRECTIONS
​
​Many times in shamanic ceremony, the leader will "call in the directions," as an invocation.  To do this properly, one first enters into Sacred Relationship with the energies and Spirit Beings of each direction.  These four individual classes are offered seasonally to allow you to enter into Sacred Relationship so that you can call in the directions.  

Picture
HEALING THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE EARTH
Many of the People feel disconnected from the Earth Mother.  This class offers a paradigm for helping the People heal that relationship and giving you the tools you'll need to guide that healing.  

Picture
HEALING TRAUMA
You have learned about the shamanic perspective of healing trauma.  This course offers a grounded, westernized view of healing trauma, providing the knowledge and tools to supplement shamanic healing.  

Picture
HEALING THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CREATOR
Unknown to most healers, the wounding and distress lying quietly in the deepest part of our beings, comes from a troubled relationship with the Creator.  This course unveils this hidden wounding, how and why it occurs, then offers you the tools you'll need to help your client heal it.  Profound truths about the nature of soul and life are often revealed in such healing work.  

Picture
MASTERY, POWER, AND PRESENCE (under revision)
Shamanic Healing is one of the most powerful methods of inner transformation.  Yet, we can support that inner work through knowledge and practices that help us bloom.  In our ever-present, relentless aspiration to evolve and move towards the pinnacle of spiritual evolution, we seek as many ways to reach for that.  This course offers knowledge and practices for you and for your clients.  

Picture
SESSION REVIEWS AND CASE STUDY DISCUSSIONS
These classes offer advanced students to discuss cases, so that ideas can flow and apprentices feel supported in their work with clients.  Some of these classes include session reviews, where the class watches a video of an apprentice working with a client.  ​Apprentices find these class discussions incredibly helpful in honing and developing nuanced skills.  They also often find these discussions to be very juicy!

Picture
LEADING SHAMANIC CEREMONY

​Part of stepping into your identity as a shamanic healer is to learn how to lead shamanic ceremony.  This course carries you through the process, providing knowledge and skills to lead ceremony.  

Picture
MEDICINE WALK
The term Medicine Walk is respectfully borrowed from indigenous traditions.  It is a movement into nature, a walk upon the Earth to honor the Sacred Relationship, and to listen to what the Earth and all of nature has to teach you.  You'll have a class about the Medicine Walk and another class in which to share.  
​


The Vision Quest - Optional

The Vision Quest is wondrous final step in the apprenticeship.  It is one of the most transformative elements of the program, solidifying all that you have learned about yourself and your identity as a shamanic healer.  If you want to read more about this process, please read The Book of the Vision Quest.

Certification as an Advanced Shamanic Healer

​​In order to become certified as an Advanced Shamanic Healer, you must have successfully completed Year 1 of the training, fully attend each aspect of Year 2, demonstrate proficiency in both advanced knowledge and skill, and further demonstrate development of presence as a shamanic healer.  Successful completion of each of these elements substantiates your advanced certification.

Successful Completion of 1 - Year Apprenticeship
​In order to embark on the 2nd Year of the apprenticeship, you must have successfully completed all aspects of the 1st Year.

Certified Advanced Shamanic Healers
Attendance
Full LIVE attendance at each aspect of the training is required.  In cases of illness or emergency, you'll need to consult with your apprenticeship leader.
Completion of 20 Shamanic Healing Sessions (as a "Client") 
Personal inner growth and transformation are inherently a part of the apprenticeship at the Institute.  As you know by this point, shamanic healing sessions penetrate the depths of you, and your spiritual evolutionary process, roving over many past lives.  The shamanic healing subjects covered in Year 2 (such as Healing the Relationship with the Creator, for example) are significantly advanced and understandable only after you have yourself been healed in such ways.  And additionally, you are still developing healing power and presence, aided again by the depth of your own inner healing.  You'll need to complete at least 20 shamanic healing sessions for certification within the 2nd-year.  (Thus, after 2 years in the program, you will have completed 40 sessions total).
