Welcome to the apprenticeship!
You have been called to the healer's path and by saying "yes" to this apprenticeship, you have declared that you've heard and have responded to the call. Your inner kid (along with your soul of course) is likely overjoyed! Congratulations and welcome!
You may find that such a declaration begins an inner (or outer) transformation process even before the apprenticeship begins. Please be gentle with yourself and seek support as needed, even as you delight in the path before you!!

Getting There
For those flying in, Portland International Airport (PDX) is the airport to choose when making your reservations. For people flying in, we recommend purchasing your plane ticket sooner rather than later, as airfares tend to increase as the dates get closer. The airport is about 3 hours away from Belknap, so you'll need to find a ride to get there. You may consider sharing a car rental with other apprentices. Local apprentices are usually willing to provide rides to people whenever possible.

Between Registration and the First Retreat
Your first retreat, which marks the official beginning of your apprenticeship program may be some time off. We know that you may be looking forward to getting started in the apprenticeship, so you may wish to:
Begin Reading Books
Begin Shamanic Healing Sessions
(if desired and if space is available)
Listen to Nature
For Books, you can begin reading (links are below):
The Hollow Bone and Seeing in the Dark, both by Colleen Deatsman
The Emergence of the Psychic by Sri Aurobindo, compiled by A.S. Dalal
For Shamanic Healing Sessions, contact the Institute at info@shamanic-training.com to inquire. If space is available and you'd like to begin sessions, you may pay the additional session fee of $160.00 per session. Otherwise, you may wait to begin your sessions during the apprenticeship.
For Listening to Nature, you can simply let yourself be guided to a place in nature, become comfortable, then act as if you're listening for a response. Listening causes silence inside, a peaceful waiting. See what arises within you. This practice is wondrous in engendering a sense of connection and love with the Earth.
