Shamanic Extraction Healing Training™

Developed by Michael Harner

Drum, beater, rocks, feather

Developed by Michael Harner

Shamanic extraction is a powerful healing practice for addressing pain and illness in the mind and body resulting from the presence of adverse spiritual factors referred to as "localized spiritual intrusions." Participants are trained in how to work powerfully with their helping spirits to identify, remove, and dispose of these intrusions. In Core Shamanism, we practice a safe and effective touch-free method.

In this fully experiential workshop, you will have the opportunity to learn methods to build spiritual power to prepare for extraction practice; sense and see spiritual intrusions causing localized pain and illness; practice with other participants to safely extract these intrusions; and re-empower a client after shamanic extraction to help restore health and well-being.

  What to Bring

  • Rattle and/or drum
  • Notebook and pen for note-taking
  • Blindfold, eye covering, bandana, or Mindfold®
  • Comfortable clothing and warm socks
  • Blanket and/or cushion (optional)
