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, the Eugene, Oregon, USA Airport (EUG) 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 25 minutes away from the farm, 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 by Colleen Deatsman.
The Emergence of the Psychic by Sri Aurobindo, compiled by A.S. Dalal
Active Hope by Joanna Macy and Chris Johnstone.
For Shamanic Healing Sessions, contact the Institute at [email protected].
These sessions are considered Additional Sessions outside the ordinary parameters of the program and the cost is $160.00 per session. If you'd like to wait until the formal beginning of the apprenticeship before starting shamanic healing sessions, you may do so.
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.
