I took my very first Shamanic class in 2003, at age 15.
And one of my strongest memories of this experience was my feeling of profound relief —
Relief that I was finally given a vocabulary to explain the concepts that my heart already knew to be true.
Relief that I wasn’t “just making things up” and that other people shared my connection with nature and the spirit realm.
Relief that I wasn’t alone in my psychic abilities and reverence for life.
Relief that there were practical tools and skills I could develop to shape and strengthen the intuitive and energy work I was already doing naturally.
This day-long class in Shamanic journeying changed my life. In addition to giving me skills and tools that began my Shamanic practice, it gave me a sense of belonging and trust that I didn’t have before.
This introduction to Shamanism opened my eyes to humanity’s ancient and powerful animistic origins. It helped me understand why I felt so alien and clumsy in “normal” teenage pursuits and helped me feel at home in myself. It gave me refuge during university when my peers literally laughed in my face for talking about energy, consciousness and the spiritual aspect of nature in connection with biological research and medicine.
This same sense of relief and belonging is something I often hear from incoming clients and students:
“I don’t have anyone else to talk to about this, I’m so glad I found this [Shamanism] course.”
“I feel so isolated and I’m so grateful for community with other people who get it.”
“Thank you so much for telling me I’m not making this up/crazy!”
Are you called to Shamanism and longing for a like-hearted community?
Do you feel relief and excitement at the idea of not only gaining Shamanic tools, but also connecting with other people who get it?
Is your inner teenager jumping up and down at the opportunity to make friends as weird as you are while also learning powerful Shamanic practices?
If you are ready for that kind of relief and belonging —
