Power Soul Retrieval Method™
Soul loss due to trauma—such as emotional pain and shock, accidents, long term illness, constant stress, overwork and even the loss of connection with nature—is a spiritual illness, recognized by shamans cross-culturally. A missing soul portion can be thought of as part of a person's vitality and essence that they can no longer access, leaving them diminished and lacking in power. Soul retrieval is a classic shamanic method in which the practitioner, with the assistance of their helping spirits, makes a shamanic journey to locate and return any missing portions of a client's soul.
In this fully experiential online workshop, participants will be trained in the core elements of soul retrieval, including: definitions of the soul and soul loss; the importance of spiritual power to effective soul retrieval and exercises to build power and strong relationships with your helping spirits; how to find and bring back a lost soul portion for a client; and practice with other participants offering and receiving soul retrieval to help restore wholeness, personal vitality, and health.
