Embark on a Journey that will Transform
Yourself and the People You Will Serve:
Become a
Master Shamanic Healer 
The Apprentice is designed to give you what you need to begin your private shamanic healing practice within 10-12 months and become a Master Shamanic Healer by the completion of your second year:
  • Awareness and nurturing of sacred relationships with yourself and others, the Earth Mother, the Creator, all of creation
  • Knowledge of the spirit realm, individual consciousness, external influences on consciousness, plant spirits and elemental spirits
  • Comprehensive skills of shamanic healing including healing past lives
  • In-depth understanding of the soul's evolutionary process 
  • Inner transformation
  • Development of power and presence
  • Understanding, designing, and conducting shamanic ceremony
Combining Indigenous and Western Education Methods
In order to allow this sacred learning to penetrate the entire being, we combine indigenous and western education methods:
  • Direct experience of shamanic healing
  • Witnessing the healing of others
  • Practicing working with others
  • Developing relationships with Spirit Guides
  • Developing  spiritual practices
  • Reading books and articles
  • Class lecture, discussion, and experiential exercises
Blended Format - Online Learning with Biannual Retreats
The Apprenticeship combines regular online classes with biannual retreats.  Your classes (whether a lecture class or a shamanic healing demonstration) are conducted either through phone or online video conferencing, depending on the preference of the group and the instructor.  Approximately every 6 months, your group will come together in a retreat setting to continue your work together, with in-person classes and shamanic healing demonstrations, experiential exercises, and ceremony.  There are four retreats in all, usually lasting three days, although the third retreat is longer.

If you're ready to begin your journey...
“ [The instructor] brings in all of the senses when she teaches. It is fun, it is creative, it is engaging, and it is always unexpected. It all happened for me in a very visual way. I saw it, I felt it, and it spread out into my life. Close friends were always excited to find out what I had learned in ‘class’ that week.” ~ Joy, Apprentice
"I feel that the retreats are another cornerstone of the training. I feel that they allow for a full
immersion and intensive training." ~ Jason, Apprentice
