Shamanic master class (for group started in 2009) | 9 - 10 Oct 2027 | EWC

Residential training in the Ardennes, 4 x 5 days over 2 years

In each cycle of the intensive participants receive specific guidance and instruction in their shamanic development (talents, abilities, skill and confidence building).

Shamanism worldwide is having a tremendous renaissance and adaptation to people's contemporary needs. The transformative power of the shamanic ritual, the absorbing of the primordial energy of the elements, the intuitive and energetic appraisal of a life situation, the natural trance induction through drumming and chanting. All these elements strike a deep chord in people willing to open their hearts and minds to the unknown.
Our focus is on shamanism as a full flow of life energy and a universal path of wisdom. For the record: no plant medicine or drugs are used during this training.

Content

Constant aspects
The shamanic journey and/or "shamanisation" is the core of the practice. In addition we do healing, chanting, drumming and authentic ritual.

Variable aspects

• The common ground between the shamanic and therapeutic approach.
• What is right action based on silence?
• How to nourish ourselves through the male and female polarity.
• The witnessing of and stepping through fears.
• The conscious encouragement of the dying process of the ego.
• Making contact with the vibrational frequencies of power animals, angels, trees and plants, spiritual guides and ancestral energy.

Goal
To allow for an opening in consciousness and deeper ways of connecting which benefit one's spiritual development, one's optimal functioning in the world and ecological commitment to the planet.

Follow-up modules after the two-year basic shamanic training 

In the modules after the two-year basic training we use our time to go even deeper with our intimate and transformative healing sessions. We also go more in-depth with a number of topics such as the enneagram, the archetypes, and the unique methodology of our own shamanic approach. What is the precise role of guides and teachers? How can we rely on the reality of our experience and intuition? How does shamanism interface with the direct path of Advaita and Integral Yoga? How do we remove on a daily basis the obstacles to a conscious, a happy and a deeply satisfying life?
