SPECIAL BENEFIT - Free Council Membership ($500 value) to those who complete this training in 2010.
Originated by Michael Harner, this intensive training in advanced core shamanism is described by former participants as “amazing,” “transformative,” “life-changing,” and “the most important experience of my life.” A variety of advanced methods are practiced in this residential program, including extraction healing, soul retrieval, psychopomp work, divination, and work with the spirits of nature. There will also be work that is not included in FSS weekend workshops, such as selected advanced healing methods, the dream dance, explorations, and initiatory experiences.
This is the centerpiece annual program of the Foundation and the best preparation for the Three-Year Programs. Enrollment is limited and early application is recommended. To assure a place in the program, please return your application promptly; acceptance will be according to priority received.
This residential program will be held at an idyllic retreat center near Madison, Virginia, where the beauty and healing energy of the land is a powerful environment for the work. There are 130 acres of bountiful woodlands, meadows, and gardens, which provide peace, serenity, and an opportunity to connect with nature. There are at least 70 species of birds and abundant wildlife, as well as hiking trails and a scenic walk down to the Rapidan River. The Blue Ridge Mountains and famous caverns are close by. Healthy and delicious meals of fish, chicken, and vegetarian entrees are accompanied by homemade breads, soups and desserts.

Workshops in Japan
All Foundation workshops and training programs are offered for teaching purposes only and not for the purposes of providing healing or treating any student or participant for any physical or mental condition or illness.
*All workshops are part of the core shamanism program, and were originated, researched, and developed by Michael Harner and are copyrighted, except for the five-day version Soul Retrieval Training and those listed under Shamanic Innovations.
Core shamanism consists of the universal or near-universal principles and practices of shamanism not bound to any specific cultural group or perspective, as originated, researched, and developed by Michael Harner. Since the West overwhelmingly lost its shamanic knowledge centuries ago due to religious oppression, the Foundation’s programs in core shamanism are particularly intended for Westerners to reacquire access to their rightful spiritual heritage through quality workshops and training courses. Training in core shamanism includes teaching students to alter their consciousness through classic shamanic non-drug techniques such as repetitive drumming so that they can discover their own hidden spiritual resources, transform their lives, and learn how to help others. Core shamanism does not focus on ceremonies, such as those of Native Americans, which are part of the work of medicine men and women, persons who do both shamanism and ceremonial work.
