Shamanic Divination in Practice™
The skilled practice of shamanic divination, the process of consulting the spirits for knowledge, is an essential aspect of shamanic healing and of bringing the wisdom of the helping spirits to bear on personal, local, and global issues.
This workshop offers students opportunities to practice methods for contacting their compassionate spirit helpers, particularly through the shamanic journey, and to enhance their abilities to form on-topic questions and interpret the messages received. Participants will also experience classic shamanic ways to build and nurture strong relationships with their own spirits. Note: To experience a variety of shamanic divination practices from around the world, take the in-person Advanced Shamanic Divination Training workshop.

"Shamanic Divination in Practice™ with Mora File." In this episode Kerri speaks with Mora File about her journey into shamanic divination and healing practices. Mora shares her personal experiences with grief and loss, the ethical foundations of shamanism, and the transformative power of shamanic practices.
"This workshop is amazing. I am so grateful that FSS is doing these workshops for us. FSS has expanded my experience of life in so many ways, in so many worlds, on so many levels."
"I really enjoyed this workshop. I liked the way I could enjoy the teachings from the comfort of my home, rather than being rushed and exhausted from travelling and preparing to be away from home when I attend a workshop. I found the breakout sessions more intimate, somehow, as it was really face-to-face with a partner."
"I felt we were an intimate group. Zoom works really well and I can take courses that are usually very expensive for me to attend due to flying, accommodations, etc."
