Shamanism 101 - online training course about core shamanism
Posted: Fri Jan 09, 2015 4:56 am
I wanted to do some shamanic training, yet I haven't found any courses, seminars or else in my area that are affordable for me. Travelling to other places plus accomodation costs would be too expensive for me, too.
Then I found an extensive online course about core shamanism* which might be the right choice.
It's called "Shamanism 101". It teaches you to integrate shamanic practises in your everyday life, yet also practices (in the higher levels) which you can use professionally as a shamanic healer.
There are three levels of training and the fourth level is a teacher training.
Every level consists of 12 lessons and can be completed in 3 months – some students complete it in 4 to 6 months. During the lessons you receive texts, audio-tracks and sometimes videos and you get homework and assignments – not much to write though, rather practical work. Every student gets a one-on-one mentoring via E-Mail and there is a forum group for students on facebook as well.
Every level only costs 190 $ (status: January 2015) and there is not much material needed except two or three books, smudging incense, and at the end of level 1 a shamanic drum and a rattle.
The second, third and fourth level require practice clients with whom you can excercise (as far as I know they can be friends or family).
I want to do this training some time later this year and will write about my experiences then. If there is anyone here who has done this training, I would love to hear about it.

* core shamanism uses universal shamanic principles and techniques that can be found all over the world, yet in core shamanism these are not bound to a specific cultural background. So, they can be easily learned and used by people all over the world. This kind of shamanism was researched and developed by anthropologist Michael Harner who also founded the well-respected Foundation for Shamanic studies
