COURSES & CIRCLES

Here you can book courses taught by Jonathan, Zara & Annette. At the moment Jonathan & Zara offer a mix of online and residential workshops. Annette no longer runs physical courses but concentrates on international online teaching. Some courses are open to all, and are either shamanic, animistic or both. Find out more about how our training is structured and how it works by scrolling to the bottom of the page.

 RECURRING COURSES -

 HOW OUR COURSES WORK:
You can begin either with a shamanic introduction course or an animistic course. There are many ways to explore depending on your personal interest. Some online courses are open to all and do not require previous training. Please read more on each course description.

If you want to take advanced courses in shamanism with us you need to have completed the introductory workshop The Shaman's Journey or similar. This teaches you the basic approach we use, in terms of journeying, power, ethics and language. There are many different approaches to teaching shamanism and it is important that we share common ground. If in doubt, please read how we work on the website

There is no recommended sequence. Workshops can be helpful and inspiring whether you are new to this path or have been walking it for years. On most courses, you will meet a mix of people who have worked for a long time and others who have arrived on the path more recently.  People move at their own pace and rhythm, everyone has different requirements and needs. 

The real education takes place between you and your Spirit teachers. The purpose of our teaching is to help initiate, guide, and inspire that process. Many people take courses more than once, including returning to the introduction course years later, and find there is always more to learn. 

Our courses teach shamanic practice and techniques, animistic life-ways and spirituality. They are not intended as therapy courses. Please note that we do not offer certificates or diplomas.

If you have not trained with us, please begin by learning more about our way of working. This will give you a sense of whether it is a good fit for you. You can read one of our articles in the Library or watch Jonathan and Zara's talk on Introduction to Shamanism. It is important that when you train with us, you want to work in the way we do and are happy to follow our guidelines. Read more about our way of working here

Working Online in Circle is a little different in some ways to meeting in person. In many other ways it is the same and can be very powerful. To help you maintain a sense of ethics and clear guidelines, we offer you our guide to sharing shamanic work online, whether for a ceremony or a circle.
