Shamanic Healing Training Program

LEARN THE WAY OF THE SHAMAN
"After having personally practiced shamanism, shamanic healing, and shamanic journeying
for more than half a century, I can say that there is nothing I have encountered in reports of the
spiritual experiences of saints, prophets, psychedelic drug experimenters, near death survivors,
avatars and other mystics that is not commonly experienced
when following classic journey methods using a drum."

—Michael Harner

Shamanism Workshops and Training Programs
Core Shamanism — Shamanic Healing — Shamanic Initiations

The Foundation for Shamanic Studies integrated series of workshops and advanced shamanic training programs are widely recognized as unparalleled in the world. Originated, researched and developed over nearly 50 years by anthropologist Michael Harner—the pioneer of contemporary shamanism—the Foundation's training offers students the opportunity to learn and practice authentic, powerful, and effective shamanic healing methods to high ethical standards. By taking workshops in a flexible weekend format, students can advance step-by-step in their training. Five-day and longer advanced residential programs, such as the Two Week Shamanic Healing Intensive and the Three Year Program of Advanced Initiations in Shamanism and Shamanic Healing, include profound and life-changing shamanic initiations. The Foundation's experienced Harner-trained practitioner-faculty help to ensure a high-quality, rich, and transformative learning experience. The Foundation's programs are based in decades of practical experience. Whether you are looking to improve your life or to practice shamanic healing in your community, we look forward to assisting you on your shamanic path. Read the article in Prevention magazine.

Quick Index to Workshop Descriptions and Schedules

What Is Core Shamanism?

Core shamanism consists of the universal, near-universal, and common features of shamanism, together with journeys to other worlds, a distinguishing feature of shamanism. As originated, researched, and developed by Michael Harner, the principles of core shamanism are not bound to any specific cultural group or perspective. 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.
