Shamanic Path I
March 31, 2012 by EveBLee
An Apprenticeship on Individual and Community Healing guided by Eve B. Lee*
This program is for those on a path of personal growth who wish to explore the ancient practice of shamanism as part of owning their own spiritual authority and to help others find solutions to personal and community problems.
Some participants will focus on their own healing, personal growth and spiritual evolution, while others will seek to add tools to their kit that will enhance their efforts to aid individuals and the larger community in restoring health, harmony and balance.
In this intensive, participants will learn basic and advanced shamanic skills in four group sessions, share journeys in monthly conference calls, and have four one hour individual sessions with Eve, in person or by phone. Each participant will have the opportunity to participate in their own Visionquest on sacred land in a safe and supported setting.
Each participant will receive shamanic healings and learn how to access healing, empowerment and spiritual guidance for themselves and others in the traditional shamanic way. Shamanism teaches that everything that exists is alive and has a spirit, that we are spiritually interconnected with all of life and with the earth itself. Through shamanic practice we reconnect with nature, its rhythms and seasons, and thus restore balance and harmony. Shamanic work is always performed for the highest good and for the benefit of all life. It is based upon direct experience and not a belief system. It is a practice of spiritual autonomy, giving back to all the right to “see” for oneself through the technique of shamanic journeying and the interaction with Helping Spirits as one seeks healing and information on behalf of oneself or others.
As outlined by Angeles Arrien in her classic book The Four Fold Way, the shamanic path may encompass the way of the warrior, the healer, the visionary, or the teacher. Which of these directions calls to you? Some on the shamanic path are called to all of these, while others to one or two. if Ghandi’s words speak to your soul: “You must be the change you want to see in the world,” join us for this journey together.
This year-long apprenticeship is divided into four Gatherings, with an initiation at the concluding session. Participation in Visionquest during the fifth session is strongly encouraged but optional. Those choosing not to quest may hold sacred space with the fire tenders and may participate in the Sweat Lodge Ceremony which concludes the traditional Visionquest. Monthly conference calls are an integral part of the program and included in the cost.
*Eve B. Lee is a graduate of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies Three-Year Program, and has completed advanced work with the Foundation. She has been trained in core shamanic practice by Michael Harner, and in soul retrieval by Sandra Ingerman. As a certified shamanic practitioner since 1993, Eve has performed the traditional role of healer and “innovator,” assisting individuals and communities in making transitions that maintain or restore health, harmony and balance in times that demand
change.

Note: The Certificate of Course Completion for Shamanic Path Apprenticeship is not intended to convey that a person is a shaman, a shamanic practitioner, or a shamanic healer. This course is intended only as an introduction to shamanic journeywork. We cannot certify that a person is a shaman — it is successful results in shamanic healing that make a person recognized by his/her clients as a shaman or shamanic healer, and even that status can change at any time according to a practitioner’s relationship with the Helping Spirits
Introduction to Shamanic Journeying

Introduction to Shamanic Journeying
May 12 & 13, 2012
This two-day weekend workshop offers an introduction to core shamanism and the ancient practice of shamanic journeying and gives participants tools to develop and advance their own shamanic journeying practice. Participants will learn ways to meet their own individual spirit helpers in nonordinary reality, and how to use the shamanic journey to restore spiritual power and health for themselves, others and the Earth. Facilitated by drumming, they will experience the shamanic state of consciousness, awaken dormant spiritual gifts, and discover how to enter an altered state of consciousness for shamanic divination and healing.
What is shamanism?
Shamanism is a path of knowledge and a process of seeing with the heart for the purpose of accessing spiritual guidance, healing, and information. Shamanism teaches that everything that exists is alive and has a spirit, and that we are spiritually interconnected with all of life and the earth itself. Through shamanic practice, we can reconnect ourselves with nature and its rhythms and seasons, and restore balance and harmony. It has no doctrine or belief system.
What is core shamanism?
Core shamanism is the universal or near-universal principles and practices of shamanism not bound to any specific cultural group or perspective, as originated, researched, and developed by Michael Harner, with whom Eve B. Lee has studied since 1993.
