Gain help, healing and wisdom from your own spirit helpers with clear, simple steps in this small group, online 6 week programme.
Connect with nature in a meaningful way
Maybe you've been yearning to connect more deeply to the Universe. To understand life's teachings in a deeper way and to gain insight from the world beyond the physical. Or you sense that there's 'more to life' if only you knew how to understand the wisdom life has to offer.
Maybe you have a sense that your heart, soul or even spirit knows the answers, often better than your head. But you need help to be clear about its message and to trust your intuition.
Shamanism is the most ancient way to connect with 'all there is' and the animistic world of spirit - all types of spirit helpers and power animals. And now an easy, safe online course is available to help support you in this learning at this time.

"... my first exploration of shamanism and I couldn't have asked for a better introduction.
Joanna is a very knowledgeable teacher and provided a supportive, comfortable environment.
A really experiential course.
I have come away with some invaluable tools, insights and connections.
Very highly recommended!"
LB, Analyst, Somerset
"A Taste of Spirit" opened a new world to me - that of intuitive, spirit-filled, and colorful guidance -- that was waiting for me to listen to all along. I just had to invite it in. Joanna taught me how to extend that invitation and bring more fullness to my life experiences."

What about work between sessions?
There will be a chance to practice what we have learned. It might involve a walk in nature, a short practice or ritual, or discussing something with someone from the circle between weekly calls. This helps bring your experiences into your everyday life as it can be strange to talk about shamanism with family and friends. You will make guided connections to others as you share experiences, often making lasting friendships.

Just £197 for the six live sessions, a fully interactive and supportive private Facebook group to share experiences and have your ongoing questions answered in real time as well as a shamanic mentorship one to one session if you book by tba (£75 value).

This is a taster course - what if I'd like to learn more?
There is a more advanced programme that follows on from A Taste of Spirit called 'Deepen into Spirit'. Once you have mastered the basics in A Taste of Spirit there are also other ad hoc 'advanced' courses. For example, the 'Moon and Me Programme', as well as monthly Shamanic Practice Gatherings were you can meet up with friends old and new and gain practice and experience with themed sessions.
Can you tell me a little about you?
I started my own shamanic journey in 1999. I'd been on a spiritual search for over 10 years, but it was shamanism that felt like 'coming home' to me. Since then I have a lived my life learning to deepen my experience and trust with my shamanic spirit helpers, integrating their help and teachings into my ordinary life and choices. I have trained with many different shamanic human teachers over the years, including Jonathan Horwitz, Annette Host, Nick Breeze Wood, Myron Eschowsky, Pippa Bondy and been part of and run many shamanic circles and ceremonies.
How does shamanism help in your everyday life?
You can work with your spirits to receive guidance and insight into your life issues, and for help and healing. You'll find your spirit helpers to be wise, benevolent, helpful and powerful. They can give you advice on anything you want to know about - work, life, relationships or anything you want to know a deep, heart-connecting answer to. They also provide deep, spiritual healing when we know how to ask.
You will go at your pace, and learn to trust their advice more and more deeply. Their wisdom and help will save many painful experiences and decisions, and you'll live with more harmony and joy.

I have a free 'Heart and Spirit' community on Facebook with lots of challenges, updates and conversation. Feel free to reach out to me there, ask questions or join in the fun.
