Retreat = $990 + Lodging
Lodging Rates for the retreat depend on the number of apprentices. Cost of lodging is divided among apprentices; thus, more apprentices = decreased lodging cost.
Shamanic Healing Sessions
PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL SHAMANIC HEALING SESSIONS - Cost is Variable According to Practitioner
Shamanic healing is also a part of the apprenticeship; however, fees depend on the practitioner. Practitioners MUST be graduates from the Institute. Your Apprenticeship Leader will provide a list of accepted shamanic healers to you. (The Apprenticeship Leader - Selena Whittle, PhD, does have some availability, depending on the number of apprentices for the year. Email with inquiries about availability.) Remember, you can begin these shamanic healing sessions immediately upon acceptance to the apprenticeship, no matter what time of year it is. Doing so will offset costs during your formal apprenticeship year. For more info, click here.
INDIVIDUAL SHAMANIC HEALING SESSIONS IN GROUP - FREE

Tier 4 Community Membership - FREE
Honestly, we're not sure how to value a shamanic community, but consider all that comes from being a member, such as having regular personal support and guidance from your teacher and from the community; learning about shamanic ceremony by attending ceremonies; attending community classes with other folks who are NOT apprentices, but are interested in shamanism; access to comprehensive classes and higher level classes; and sharing connections with new friends. How much is that worth? We're not sure...but it's definitely JUICY!
For 2nd Year of Apprenticeship
The costs for the 2nd year of the apprenticeship are very similar to the first year. The monthly fee remains the same. While there is no retreat, there is a Vision Quest, which is optional.
