New 4th North American Three-Year Program Begins October 17 – 22, 2010 in the San Francisco Bay Area

Sunday, January 17th, 2010
Michael Harner’s
4th North American Three-Year Program in Advanced Initiations in Shamanism and Shamanic Healing
Begins October 17 – 22, 2010
Northern Marin – San Francisco Bay Area

Taught by Alicia L. Gates
Assisted by Amanda Foulger

“The Three-Year Program has changed my life on a cellular level. It has been the best experience of my life!” – A Recent Graduate

“I love my life now. Since I’ve been doing this work, I have a deep sense of my purpose on this planet. That is not something I thought I would ever have. My life is deep, purposeful, profound and fun!”
- Three Year Program Participant

Originated by Michael Harner, this course is the most advanced training in shamanism and shamanic healing offered by the Foundation and generally is considered unparalleled in the world. It involves intensive extended training in progressively higher levels of very advanced shamanism, including initiations into rare and little-known practices and principles.

In this residential program, the same group of participants meets for a week twice a year (usually May and October) for three years, with practical assignments between meetings. The program is devoted to the objective of advancing the participants’ knowledge and practice as far as possible during the three years. Enrollment is limited. Sessions are held at a retreat center; on-site lodging and meals will be arranged during registration.

Alicia L. Gates has studied with Michael Harner for more than twenty years. She has worked with thousands of shamanic clients and has a profound depth of knowledge and practical experience. “Alicia is an outstanding shamanic practitioner and healer, and in recent years, working alongside me, has been the principal teacher of the West Coast Three-Year programs and the Two-Week Intensives,” states Michael Harner. Alicia brings to her teaching a clarity and certainty about shamanic healing methods that can only come through long experience and a deep love for the work. Says one workshop participant: “I felt very connected to Alicia and most grateful that someone as gifted and deeply connected to source energy is willing to share her considerable talent and knowledge with us.”

PREREQUISITES: the FSS Basic Workshop, plus the Two-Week Shamanic Healing Intensive OR at least six days of advanced FSS workshops. Applicants who have completed the Two-Week Intensive will be given special consideration by the Review Committee.

Harner Shamanic Counseling Training, August 7 – 12, 2010, Portland, Oregon

Saturday, May 23rd, 2009

Five-Day Training in Harner Shamanic Counseling
August 7 – 12, 2010, with April Tuck, C.S.C. Held in near Portland, Oregon. Intensive training to develop skills for answering personal life questions with the assistance of helping spirits.

Hands

In essence, the clients become practitioners of divinatory shamanism for themselves, with the help and guidance in ordinary reality of the shamanic counselor. One of the features of HSC (previously known as HMSC) is that the real shamanic counselors are in nonordinary reality. These are wise teachers that the clients encounter in their shamanic journeys and who provide answers to the clients’ questions. The ordinary reality HSC counselors, in contrast, provide instruction, orientation, and methodological advice based upon core shamanism and shamanic journeying.

“The HSC work is among the most powerful I have encountered, not only for myself at the training, but in use with clients afterwards. With regard to the training itself, I really loved it. April is a very focused teacher and that discipline translated into a very practical, useful training. I came away, not only with insights and new practices for myself, but a method I can use to help clients develop their own disciplined work and connection to helping spirits.”

– Susan Rossi

All five days of this course are devoted to experiential practice in question framing, journeying, and shamanic interpretation in an intimate setting. The work is intense and exciting. As one participant observed, “The deepest journey I ever had occurred in this course.”
