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.

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!

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).
