Shaman – One who knows…in regards to spirit and energy of the unseen and subtle realms.
Healing – The therapeutic process of becoming healthy again.
Shamanism has been a part of cultural and traditional practices of the healing arts for as long as history has been recorded. In ancient times the shaman was held in high regard within the community as the one consulted for spiritual insight and healing.
Shamanism has been practiced by both men and women across the ages.
Ceremony and ritual is the way in which the shaman connects to the higher dimensional realities, sometimes incorporating plant medicines and spiritual tools for healing and insight. This enables them to see and perceive the hidden aspects and subtle energies of a person who consults the shaman.
Shamanic Practitioner – is a practice that has been adapted to the needs of the modern human being and societal structures. The shaman stands between the two worlds of the physical and spiritual realities. The shaman embodies these realities in all aspects of their life. So shamanism is not simply a healing practice, but rather a lifestyle for the shaman.
The way of the shaman is integrated into all of their different modalities, and the courses that are taught are infused with the attitude of the shamanic heart.
