Foundation for Shamanic Studies

“Shamanism is a path of knowledge, not of faith, and that knowledge cannot come from me or anyone else in this reality. To acquire that knowledge, including the knowledge of the reality of the spirits, it is necessary to step through the shaman’s doorway and acquire empirical evidence.”

Michael Harner, Ph.D., Founder of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies, and author of The Way of the Shaman

Innate Wisdom Connection is excited to announce a series of four training workshops on core shamanism, facilitated by the Foundation for Shamanic Studies.

The workshops will take place in Tennyson, Brisbane, Australia. Camping is available at the site for $7 per night.

The dates are:

  • 7–8 July: The Way of the Shaman: Shamanic Journeying, Power and Healing. The basic workshop in Core Shamanism

ADVANCED COURSES (These require The Way of the Shaman to be completed first)

  • 10–11 July:  Shamanic Extraction Healing Training
  • 14–15 July:  Shamanism, Dying & Beyond
  • 18–19 July:  Power Soul Retrieval (Requires Shamanic Extraction and Dying & Beyond courses to be completed first)

Core Shamanism

Core Shamanism is the universal or near-universal principles and practices of shamanism not bound to any specific cultural group or perspective, as originated, researched, and developed by Michael Harner. Since the modern world overwhelmingly lost its shamanic knowledge centuries ago due to religious and political oppression, the programs in Core Shamanism from The Foundation for Shamanic Studies (FSS) are particularly intended for modern persons to reacquire access to their rightful spiritual heritage through quality workshops and training courses.

Training in core shamanism includes teaching students to alter their consciousness through classic shamanic non-drug techniques such as repetitive drumming so that they can discover their own hidden spiritual resources, transform their lives, and learn how to help others.

The Way of the Shaman: Shamanic Journeying, Power, and Healing

The Basic Workshop in Core Shamanism

7–8 July 2018. 9am–5.30pm each day.

Book_Now_Button_BlueInvestment: $475 (full) or $415 (Concession) All Prices include GST

During the Basic experiential workshop, participants are introduced to core shamanism, the universal and near-universal basic methods of the shaman to enter non-ordinary reality for problem solving and healing. Particular emphasis is on the classic shamanic journey, one of the most remarkable visionary methods used by humankind to explore the hidden universe otherwise known mainly through myth and dream. Participants are initiated into shamanic journeying, aided by drumming and other techniques for experiencing the shamanic state of consciousness and for awakening dormant spiritual abilities, including connections with Nature.

Practice includes comparisons by participants of their discoveries in shamanic journeys as well as being introduced to shamanic divination and healing. They are also provided with methods for journeying to meet and study with their own individual spirit helpers in non-ordinary reality, a classic step in shamanic practice. Participants learn how the journey is utilized to restore spiritual power and health, and how shamanism can be applied in contemporary daily life to help heal oneself, others, and the Planet.

Advanced courses from the Foundation for Shamanic Studies (require the basic Way of the Shaman course first)

Shamanic Extraction Healing Training

10–11 July 2018. 9–5.30pm each day.

Book_Now_Button_BlueInvestment: $475 (full) or $415 (Concession) All Prices include GST

Participants are initiated into the extraction method of healing, including how to see, sense, and remove localized illness and pain connected to spiritual factors. This is an important part of shamanic healing training. They will also learn how shamanic practitioners can work in partnership to increase the effectiveness of this work. The Extraction Healing Training workshop is designed exclusively for people who want to bring shamanic healing work into their practice with others. The training is not designed for people looking for personal healing.

Shamanism, Dying and Beyond

14–15 July 2018.  9–5.30pm each day.

Book_Now_Button_BlueInvestment: $475 (full) or $415 (Concession) All Prices include GST

Participants learn how to explore dying and the destiny of souls from a shamanic perspective. The workshop is both for those who wish to learn for themselves, and for those who wish to help others who are in terminal situations or who have already passed on. Experiences to be undertaken include learning how to become experientially familiar with the after-death realms, tracking a person using shamanic journeying, completing unfinished business, helping a person to cross over (classic psychopomp work).

Power Soul Retrieval Training

18–19 July 2018. 9–5.30pm each day.

Book_Now_Button_BlueInvestment: $475 (full) or $415 (Concession) All Prices include GST

Soul Retrieval is one of the most powerful shamanic healing practices. It aims to return portions of the soul that may have moved away from us as a result of trauma or any situation in which we were unprepared to feel the associated emotions. Shamans believe that soul loss is a common source of illness, depression, and chronic fatigue, as well as a variety of mental and emotional disorders.  In this advanced course, we will learn how to find and retrieve these portions for clients in a healing session.  **Extraction Healing  and the Shamanism, Dying and Beyond advanced courses are prerequisite for this course.

Book_Now_Button_BlueSpecial Offer for those who wish to take all four workshops:
$1650 (Waged) or $1450 (Concession) All prices include GST

What previous participants said:

  • Dear Phoenix and Mike. I want to thank you deeply for inviting the Foundation for Shamanic Studies to Australia. It was a fantastic week of courses, but not only that, I feel that it really helped to bring contemporary shamanic practice into our country in a way that all people can practice, no matter where they are from. I personally believe contemporary western society is deeply ill and in dire need of shamanic help and you have helped open a door to that in a very real, practical way. Thank you so much for all the work you do in this space. xxx ” Fam Charko
