2015 Introductory Shamanic Apprenticeship

 

The Introductory Shamanic Apprenticeship is designed for people who have little or no structured shamanic experience. The tools you will receive during this course will help you heal and empower yourself while creating deeper connections with nature and compassionate, loving spirits. These courses stand by themselves and can also provide a solid foundation for those who will want to continue their shamanic studies.

~COURSE SCHEDULE~

 

            The 2015 Shamanic Apprenticeship is a nine month, once-a-month series of linked workshops, with two overnight field trips and an optional vision quest/healing quest. Our group will be together from March through November of 2015. Each class will meet once a month at a time to be determined Our weekend overnights in June and November are Saturday through Sunday.

            An optional one-, two- or three-day Vision Quest / Healing Quest will be offered during August for those who feel called to journey deeper (exact time & location will be announced.) 

            Shamanism requires a serious commitment from you, the student.  Applicants will need to schedule an interview with me to determine if we are a good fit for each other and if the program meets your needs. Once approved and registered, a student becomes fully committed to all aspects of the apprenticeship. You will be expected to attend all classes, to do your best to master all the material, to be supportive of your classmates and, especially, to have fun!

            Students who complete the entire program receive a certificate of completion acknowledging their time, new-found skills, & unique accomplishment.

~COST OF THE PROGRAM~

 

            The cost of the course is based on a sliding scale:  $895 - $1325 for approximately 75 - 100 hours of instruction. Amount is due in full by March 13th unless other arrangements are made. Your payment is your registration. Should you be unable to pay for the entire course at once, a minimal deposit of $100 dollars and a workable, reasonable, monthly payment plan will be sufficient to secure your place in the apprenticeship.

            Please note: If the cost of the course is a concern for you, do not let it be. I have a personal policy of never turning away people who cannot afford shamanic healing work. Access to education is also very important to me, so perhaps there are other ways we can work together to meet your needs in this area if you are unable to fully pay for the apprenticeship. Partial work-trades are possible, in addition to payment plans, depending on enrollment.   If learning shamanism is your true path, let nothing stop your journey from succeeding! Enlist me as your ally in self-discovery. There is so much beauty yet to be experienced! I hope to share it with you.
