Certificates of Completion

The Foundation for Shamanic Studies is pleased to offer Certificates of Completion to graduates of many of its advanced residential training programs in Core Shamanism. To request a certificate, please see below.

The Certificate of Completion is meant to publicly acknowledge the considerable time and effort invested by students in the completion of the Foundation's training programs in advanced shamanism and shamanic healing. The certificates are attractively designed for framing and display. Each certificate recognizes the training that was completed and is personalized with the graduate's name. Certificates are available to all graduates if they qualify according to the records of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies.

Important Note: The Certificate of Completion is not intended to convey that a person is a shaman, a shamanic practitioner, or a shamanic healer. The Foundation cannot certify that a person is a shaman — it is successful results in shamanic healing that make a person recognized by his/her clients as a shaman or shamanic healer, and even that status can change at any time according to a practitioner's relationship with the helping spirits.
