The Path of the Healer

Shamanic Studies

The four jobs of a Shaman are:

Divination Extraction Psychompomp Soul Retrieval

In these courses we build on skills that help you perform these roles on behalf of the healing of yourself or others.

Part of this work is your own self development, i.e. working on yourself so you can be available to work on and with others. Work that supports Self Development is Past Life Regression, Reiki, Shamanic Journeying, spiritual development.

The next workshop is:

Freeing and Healing the Ancestors

Working with Soul Retrieval, Psychopomp and Extraction

for healers and those in therapeutic settings with clients

4 day workshop over two weekends

Coming again in Summer 2024

*Shamanic Journeying is not a prerequisite of this class but is helpful to understand the worlds and movement between them

Divination

Divination is the act of seeking information or insight into a problem, question or situation by way of a standard process that you have mastered to some level so that your results are consistent and accurate enough to be a healing tool.

In Divination classes we seek to find that means that works best for you, whether it's crystals, astrology, runes, Tarot, random objects, chocolate or your intuition with nothing else. The "what" you use doesn't matter. It's "how" you use it. From here we build on accuracy and consistency.

Psychopomp

Psychopomp is the process of escorting the spirit of the dead from what was their physical plane of existence to the higher realms of spirit.

Psychopomp can be as simple as literally escorting them over because they literally can't find their way to the more difficult situation of having to help them resolving the issues that are keeping them earth bound. This takes skill as a mediator and problem solver and is suited for people who already have a background in something like counseling, therapy, hypnosis, coaching, psychology, healing, astrology, ministry, etc.

Extraction

Extraction goes hand in hand with Psychopomp and is taught as part of Psychopomp.

Both processes require the practitioner to be grounded and stable and to have done a significant amount of spiritual work on themselves so they can maintain balance while working.This takes skill as a mediator and problem solver and is suited for people who already have a background in something like counseling, therapy, hypnosis, coaching, psychology, healing, astrology, ministry, etc.

Soul Retrieval

Soul Retrieval is an advanced skill set requiring an awareness of trauma, how it happens, what happens to the soul during trauma, dissociation, soul fragmentation, finding the lost soul fragment and the reunification. Like Psychopomp and Extraction, this takes skill as a mediator and problem solver and is suited for those who have a background in counseling, therapy, coaching, astrology, healing, astrology, hypnosis, social work and an understanding of the psyche by some other means. For some it just comes naturally.
