Q&A with Susan Mokelke, FSS President
This workshop sets the context for the Online Shamanic Healing Training Program. It is the prerequisite for other workshops in this program. In this experiential workshop, you will have the opportunity to personally explore the three worlds of the shaman (Upper, Lower, and Middle Worlds).
Shamans are concerned with the human soul, with healing during life and assisting the soul’s passage out of the Middle World after death. Familiar with the realms of the dead, a shaman can act as a psychopomp—a conductor of souls.
Shamanic extraction healing is a powerful practice for treating localized pain and illness resulting from spiritual factors. “The shaman works to remove things that interfere with the health of the body, such as spiritual intrusions, and extract them. This is not done through journeying. It’s done through working here in the Middle World in an altered state of consciousness.” — Michael Harner
Review and practice of the primary shamanic healing methods, as taught in the in-person weekend workshops and the Online Shamanic Healing Training Program: extraction healing, power animal retrieval, psychopomp work, and power soul retrieval.
An effective shamanic healing practice depends on a combination of factors, including authentic and rigorous training in methods and direct experience with clients. As a spiritual healing method, the pragmatic aspects of the profession may be easily overlooked, and yet can make the difference between a valuable experience and a profoundly healing one from the client’s viewpoint.
Soul loss due to trauma—such as shock, accidents, long term illness, or constant stress—is a spiritual illness, recognized by shamans cross-culturally. A missing soul portion can be thought of as part of a person’s essence that they can no longer access, leaving them diminished and lacking in power. In soul retrieval, a practitioner, with the assistance of their helping spirits, returns missing portions of a client’s soul.
