SHAMANIC COUNSELLING 1

This practice is a spiritual counselling method based on classic shamanism. The dual purpose of the course is to teach in-depth the basic techniques of shamanic counselling, as well as to deepen each participant's felt understanding of his own journeys.

The shamanic counsellor works by teaching her client to journey for himself, to meet his own spirit helpers and teachers, who in turn become the real counsellors. The shamanic counsellor does not interpret the client’s journey, but uses her own shamanic experience in helping the client to learn how to formulate missions and uncover teachings, thereby opening the door to deeply experiencing the power of the journeys.

In essence, the shamanic counsellor helps her client to learn to recover spiritual power directly, to develop the ability to obtain practical spiritual insight, and to find answers to important personal questions. The client has the opportunity to create relationships with his spirit helpers and receive their teachings first-hand, while being supported by the councellor and assisted through the process.
Participants will work partly in the role of client and partly in the role as counsellor. During this intensive training, you will be taught all the basic techniques of shamanic counselling, with an increased emphasis on sharpening your journeying skills. You will learn how to work with different types of journeys, and ways to formulate clear powerful missions, as this is a key factor in both counselling and personal work – a focused mission helps to give a powerful journey.

This training is designed both for those who are interested in working as shamanic counsellors and those who want to use the techniques to deepen their own personal practice at home. An early application is recommended.

Participants must have completed introductory course The Shaman's Journey or agreed equivalent.
