"The course is brilliantly designed. Each tool was taught in a step-by-step way so I gained experience and confidence to undertake the healing work. The schedule worked well and the methodology was very eloquent and elegant."
Originated by Michael Harner and based upon decades of research and experimentation, this residential program in advanced core shamanism is described by former participants as "transformative," "life-changing," and "the most important spiritual experience of my life."
A variety of advanced methods are practiced in this program, including extraction healing, power soul retrieval training, psychopomp work, divination, and work with the spirits of nature. There will also be work that is not included in FSS weekend workshops, such as selected advanced healing methods, the dream dance, explorations, and initiatory experiences. Note: This program does not duplicate Three-Year Program material nor include Harner Shamanic Counseling Training.
Applicants who complete the Two Week Shamanic Healing Intensive will receive special consideration when applying for a Three-Year Program in Advanced Initiations in Shamanism and Shamanic Healing in the US. Special offers such as early bird tuition discounts for the Three Year Program may be offered to those completing a recent Two Week Shamanic Healing Intensive.
