Designed for therapists across many modalities — including massage therapists, reiki practitioners, energy healers, yoga teachers, nurses, hypnotherapists, doctors, psychologists, care workers, group facilitators, teachers, marriage celebrants, and life coaches — this program is also ideal for anyone wishing to deepen their connection to self, nature, and spirit.

It speaks to people drawn to personal transformation, spirituality, empowerment, and healing, as well as those exploring shamanism as a way to enrich both their personal and professional lives. It is also for individuals ready to approach health in a new way, with greater awareness of emotional, spiritual, mental, and physical wellbeing.

For spiritual seekers, this training offers earth-centred practices and shamanic insight into the roots of illness — within oneself and others — with the intention of restoring balance on spiritual, physical, and emotional levels. It is equally for those who want to awaken more fully to the sacred dimension of life and bring the spirit of love and beauty into everyday living.

What to Expect

This hands-on, world-first professional training is delivered as an 8-day retreat. Across 12 modules of 3 hours each, you will explore core shamanic practices, learn to navigate extrasensory perceptual states, work effectively with drum journeys, understand your spiritual team, and create safe, grounded ceremonial spaces.

You will also examine the factors that influence wellbeing and disease in body and mind, release limiting thoughts and beliefs, and support a return to balance, wellness, and harmony within the individual. After the retreat, a 2-hour online integration session via Zoom will be facilitated to review how each person is progressing with the work.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the training, you will have greater confidence in bringing earth-centred practices into coaching, clinical, group facilitation, or natural health work. This approach can support clients in growth, personal transformation, and authentic healing.

From a clinical perspective, the program is also intended to assist practitioners in working with many conditions through shamanic practices as a complementary or primary modality.
