The main work of the shaman is, and always has been, to heal illness and help others maintain their good health. The concept of power is essential in understanding shamanic healing, as it nearly always deals with re-empowerment. On this course we will examine different ways of returning lost power and working with the client’s essential and natural power as a way to health.

Course participants will also learn to sense and identify unwanted power intrusions and work with shamanic extraction healing - the removal of inappropriate energy. Together we will undertake group healing ceremonies and explore ways to work shamanically with distance healing.

Tools can be useful for both diagnosis and treatment, and we will look at how to identify and assemble them. We will work with the healing power of song and words, and ally ourselves with plant helpers for treating specific illnesses and creating health.

The course will also cover the ethics of working with shamanic healing and essential practices such as deep listening, helping clients receive healing, and maintaining our own health when doing this work. Shamanic Healing relates deeply to both Soul Retrieval and Death & Life, and these three courses help to inform each other and deepen the work.

Participants must have completed introductory course The Shaman's Journey or agreed equivalent. Participants must be experienced in shamanic journeying and have a good connection with their spirit helpers.
