2026 In Person Workshops
Advanced Shamanic Divination Training
Saturday-Sunday September 26-27, 10am-5:30pm
**Prerequisite: The Way of the Shaman (in person), OR The Shamanic Journey, Shamanic Divination in Practice, and Shamanism Spirits and Healing (online)
One of the classic tasks of the shaman is to journey into nonordinary reality in order to obtain answers to questions, both at the request of others and for oneself. Participants in the workshop have the opportunity to engage in divination journeys for each other as well as for themselves and to gain experience in using various time-tested shamanic divination techniques. In the shamanic search to become persons of knowledge, they learn, as shamans have from time immemorial, how to converse with plant and animal spirits, how to learn about the use of quartz crystals, and how to seek and receive revelatory knowledge from visionary sources.
In addition to the items listed above, please have with you:
-
A rough-surfaced, grapefruit sized rock (NOT a crystal)
-
A small quartz crystal, at least 1 inch long, and something to cover it when you are not using it
-
A blanket that blocks out light
-
8 small objects, which you can hold together in your cupped hands, which you picked up outdoors
Cost is $315 for this workshop
Shamanism, Dying, and Beyond
Saturday-Sunday October 10-11, 10am-5:30pm
**Prerequisite: The Way of the Shaman (in person), OR The Shamanic Journey, Shamanic Divination in Practice, and Shamanism Spirits and Healing (online)
Participants learn how to deal with the issue of dying and the destiny of souls from a shamanic perspective. The workshop is both for those who wish to learn for themselves, and for those who wish to help others who are in terminal situations or who have already passed on. Experiences to be undertaken include learning how to become experientially familiar with the after-death realms, tracking a person using shamanic journeying, completing unfinished business, helping a person to cross over, and classic psychopomp work.

Advanced Shamanic Healing Practice
Saturday-Sunday November 14-15, 10am-5:30pm
**Prerequisites: Completion of FSS training in all three healing methods (psychopomp, extraction, and soul retrieval, online or in person, or completion of the Two Week Intensive), AND Inspired Shamanic Healing Practice (online)
This two-day workshop is designed to provide to students with advanced FSS training, the opportunity for hands-on healing practice using multiple core shamanic methods.
The first day includes a review and practice of these primary methods: extraction healing, power animal retrieval, psychopomp work, and power soul retrieval. General parameters of a shamanic healing session as well as important ethical considerations will be discussed. On day two, participants will have the opportunity to offer a complete shamanic healing session for another workshop participant. Afterward there will be group Q & A and discussion focused on clarifying the methodologies and addressing issues that arise during the healing sessions.
This training provides students the opportunity to "put it all together" by applying multiple core shamanic healing methods in a solo session for another participant. This is also a rare chance to exchange information and discuss shamanic healing with other advanced practitioners. Those who are beginning a shamanic healing practice, as well as seasoned practitioners seeking to increase their proficiency, can benefit from this hands-on training.
