Power Soul Retrieval Training
Wednesdays October 23 and 30 and November 6, 5pm-8:30pm
**Prerequisites: Shamanic Extraction Healing Method and its prerequisites (online) OR The Way of the Shaman; Shamanic Extraction Healing Training; and Shamanism, Dying, and Beyond (in person)
Soul loss due to trauma - such as emotional pain and shock, accidents, long term illness, constant stress, overwork and even the loss of connection with nature - is a spiritual illness, recognized by shamans cross-culturally. A missing soul portion can be thought of as part of a person's vitality and essence that they can no longer access, leaving them diminished and lacking in power. Soul retrieval is a classic shamanic method in which the practitioner, with the assistance of their helping spirits, in an altered state using rhythmic drumming or rattling, makes a shamanic journey to locate and return any missing portions of a client's soul.
In this fully experiential online workshop, participants will be trained in the core elements of soul retrieval, including:
-
Definitions of the soul and soul loss
-
The importance of spiritual power to effective soul retrieval and exercises to build power and strong relationships with your helping spirits
-
How to find and bring back a lost soul portion for a client
-
Practice with other participants offering and receiving soul retrieval to help restore wholeness, personal vitality, and health
Cost is $235 for this workshop
