Shamanism in Practice: Ethical, Effective, and Inspired Shamanic Healing™

Developed by Susan Mokelke

This two-day workshop is for those seeking to more effectively use their core shamanic training to alleviate pain and suffering and to help others in the world. A well-designed container for your healing practice that supports your clients and inspires you, can considerably enhance the effectiveness of your work. The training is appropriate for those beginning a shamanic practice, as well as for seasoned healers looking to deepen their work.

Since the seventies, tens of thousands of students have trained in core shamanism — originated, researched, and developed by Michael Harner after extensive field and cross-cultural investigation, experimentation, and personal practice. This workshop is intended to promote the ethical and professional practice of shamanic healing and shamanic divination. It combines lecture, small group discussion, interactive exercises, and journeying, but does not address marketing issues.

This training provides an opportunity to create your ideal container for your practice. It includes: The ethical practice of shamanic healing and divination; a brief look at legal considerations; practical matters such as payment for services, talk with clients, and screening potential clients; creating a healing space that supports and inspires you; and consulting with your helping spirits about various aspects of your healing practice.

"This is one of those classes that a person should take very early in their shamanic studies. I didn't realize how much I could have used this information early on in my personal professional practice."
