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.
