Purpose
This workshop is intended to help you develop an ethical, effective shamanic practice that has integrity and is based in respect for all beings. It will provide guidelines and ways of deciding for yourself regarding ethical issues—such as whether there is permission to do shamanic healing work in a specific situation—rather than "one size fits all" rules or answers. It will increase the professionalism of shamanic practice by helping you to create a supportive container that enhances your healing work, including appropriate boundaries, safety, and freedom to practice within that container. Note: The training will not address shamanic healing and divination methodologies or marketing issues and strategies.
This training is appropriate for those beginning a shamanic practice who want know what issues to consider and how to plan their future practice. It can be especially helpful for seasoned healers to dialogue with other practitioners and to help deepen their own work. Note: Some students who are very new to the work may find it beneficial to have had more training and practice in the healing methods (psychopomp work, extraction, and soul retrieval) before taking this workshop.
