The Shamanic Journey as a Rite of Passage
A shamanic journey is a space to find your own answers. You are here to champion the empowerment of others so that they can gain greater confidence and grow in circle.
Because of the powerful nature of this work, journey sessions are a rite of passage into exploring self at a profound sensitive level.
A nurturing space is created which nourishes on a soul level and creates greater wellbeing. Participants share, are acknowledged, speak uninterrupted in circle, are not judged and learn how to explore profound states of mind.
This course is an accredited certified practitioner training, accredited by The Complementary Medical Association.

The training has an emphasis on your wellbeing and the wellbeing of the people who come to your group. In my sessions I serve herbal tea, have nourishing food on the half day shamanic journey retreats, and also spend time meditating with the group. The shamanic drum sound which carries the actual journeywork has deep relaxing effects on the mind and body.
A 6 month in person training
You journey to non ordinary reality and access the
Upper world
Middle world
Lower world
We also work together to create immersive groups and bring in themes, create altar spaces, focus on the wheel of the year and look at the role of tools that are used to enhance circles.
You will look at power animals closely and work with the five elements in nature.
You will already have practical knowledge of shamanic journeying.
Please note
If you are interested in a more involved advanced training specifically focused on ritual and ceremony you should consider the Rites of Passage Facilitator Training, as this course will only have a limited time to work with the elements in nature and the seasons.
