About the Online Shamanic Training Series
The Foundation for Shamanic Studies curriculum is designed to provide step-by-step training in authentic and powerful shamanic methods. These trainings are broken up into the Knowledge and Power series and the Healing Series. Trainings generally must be taken in a particular sequence, with some exceptions. This allows students to build their relationships with their own helping spirits and gain experience receiving wisdom from the spirit world before delving into learning the healing methods.
​
Relationships with compassionate helping spirits are essential to learning healing and working for others; the order of the series allows you to meet your own spirit helpers and build your relationships with them, so that you can be effective in bringing wisdom and healing into the world, which is the essential role of the shamanic practitioner.
​
I teach the entire online series once a year, beginning in January or February and ending in November or early December. Some students prefer to learn from different FSS faculty at their own speed, while some students find benefit from working with a single teacher whose teaching resonates with them. I welcome both paths. I have students come into workshops after learning with other faculty, and they are always welcome (as long as prerequisites are met with an FSS faculty member). I also always have a core group go through the entire series with me, and with each other, building relationship with the same community of humans, and with me as a teacher, as they explore these methods. I encourage you to find what feels right to you.​​​

General parameters of a shamanic healing session, as well as important ethical considerations.

-
The opportunity to "put it all together" by applying multiple core shamanic healing methods in a solo session for another participant in the role of the client.

2026 Online Training Series
The Shamanic Journey: Pathway to Knowledge and Power
Wednesdays January 7 & 14, 5pm-8:30pm
The shamanic journey is a remarkable visionary method for entering into another reality with discipline and purpose. Using classic drumming techniques to alter consciousness, participants will be introduced to the shamanic journey to awaken one's soul and dormant spiritual power. Travel outside of time and space into another reality and make contact with compassionate helping spirits, such as teachers and power animals, for personal wisdom and to gain knowledge to help create a better world.
​
This is an introductory workshop, no experience is necessary.
Cost is $175 for this workshop
Shamanic Divination in Practice
Wednesdays January 28 & February 4, 5pm-8:30pm
**Prerequisite: The Shamanic Journey (online) or The Way of the Shaman (in person)
​
The skilled practice of shamanic divination, the process of consulting the spirits for knowledge, is an essential aspect of shamanic healing and of bringing the wisdom of the helping spirits to bear on personal, local, and global issues. This workshop offers students opportunities to practice methods for contacting their compassionate spirit helpers, particularly through the shamanic journey, and to enhance their abilities to form on-topic questions and interpret the messages received. Participants will also experience classic shamanic ways to build and nurture strong relationships with their own spirits.
​
In addition to the items listed at the top of this page, please have with you a palm-sized rock (NOT a crystal), preferably found in nature
Cost is $175 for this workshop
The Shamanic Worldview: Everything is Alive
Wednesdays February 18 & 25, 5pm-8:30pm
**Prerequisites: The Shamanic Journey and Shamanic Divination in Practice (online) or The Way of the Shaman (in person)
This workshop will be required to complete the Healing Series
The shamanic worldview underpins the ethical and effective practice of shamanism. Experiential knowledge of this worldview leads to a profound awareness of the sacred nature of our world and an awakening of compassion, resulting in a deep desire to relieve pain and suffering and restore balance and harmony.
Using journeying and experiential shamanic methods, in this online workshop you will have the opportunity to personally explore and experience the fundamental aspects of the shaman's worldview:
-
Everything is alive and has spirit
-
Unity: We are part of, connected with, the totality of nature
-
Independent spirituality, the shaman as "one who knows"
-
The implications of these principles related to permission when doing shamanic healing and divination
Cost is $175 for this workshop
