In these challenging times, shamanic work, when combined with ordinary reality knowledge and action, can make an immense contribution toward effective long-term solutions for community and global problems. Shamanic divination -- asking the fully compassionate spirits for answers to questions -- is particularly helpful in providing inspired and workable ways to address complex issues in ordinary reality.

​

This workshop offers practical methods to gain and apply wisdom from the spirits to resolve persistent problems facing humanity, our precious Earth, and its inhabitants.

​

In this workshop, you will:

​

• Practice applying shamanic divination/journeying methods to the problem-solving process

• Use shamanic divination to gain insight into real-world issues you care about

• Examine ethical guidelines and issues of permission

• Look at some of the personal benefits of spirit-inspired community action

• Explore possible ways to ethically bring the power of the compassionate spirits to our world

 

This experiential online training is offered via Zoom. Participants will see and hear each other and interact in pairs and small groups as well as in the full circle. All students **must participate** with audio/video and access the meeting through their own individual devices. Instructions for Zoom and workshop access will be provided after registration. The course consists of 14 hours of training.

Before the workshop begins, select a private location where you will not be disturbed. Consider a comfortable chair or place to sit/lie down for journeys. You might also like to use headphones or ear buds for an easier listening experience (but these are not necessary). 

 

NOTE: The use of a laptop/desktop computer, or at minimum a tablet, is recommended for this workshop. A smart phone screen is too small for effectively viewing other participants during the direct healing practices. AC power is suggested.
