Would you like a taste of shamanism, to learn how to work with your own spirit helpers? To be part of a small internet based group with clear and easy steps to get you on your way?
Shamanism is about connecting with nature
ave you ever thought that you could learn shamanic practices?
Well, here's a new Zoom (internet) based group to learn some of the basics of shamanism, spread over 4 weekly sessions...
I’ve been entertaining the idea of creating some way of teaching shamanism over a longer distance – I work with far flung clients one to one over phone and Skype/Zoom. I’ve also run shamanic workshops since 2002. But not everyone can make it in person to these.
Then it struck me.
What about using the internet to create a virtual circle of people to learn how to connect with their spirit helpers, guided by me as I would in a typical shamanic workshop? It’s true, shamanism is an ancient practice, but why not combine it with a modern means of communicating?

What are the benefits of shamanism?
Shamanism is a practice based on the felt experience that everything has a spirit. The shaman connects to his or her spirit helpers and power animals to bring the energy or ‘power’ back into ordinary reality, for him or herself or the community. Through experiencing this connection with spirit we can learn to get help, healing, advice, and wisdom from the spirit world ourselves.
We can ask our spirit helpers for help with our practical everyday lives. Our spirits are endlessly benevolent, offering magical shifts in ourselves, our perspective and the world around us. To get the most from this, we need the safe guidance of an experienced practitioner and teacher. And that’s where I come in, with the help of my own spirit helpers. I have over 20 years’ experience of a grounded, shamanic practice asking my spirits for help with every aspect of life.
Now you can do the same.
Small, guided steps will let you explore your shamanic and spirit connection in a safe and grounded way.

Rattles, and drums, are used in specific to help shift safely into a shamanic awareness and to 'call' our spirit helpers
So, what do you get from this course?
In short, a great introduction to shamanism! You'll discover the global network of shamanic history and the spiritual worlds of the shamanic cosmos. You will experience 'smudge' (incense) and practise the native wisdom of 'Council' - speaking from and listening with the heart. Most important of all, you will experience a shamanic 'journey', learning to meet your own spirit helper or power animal safely with a clear intention. You'll receive spirit help about an issue in your life, and be shown how to understand your experiences. You will be given clear steps to develop your shamanic practice beyond the course.
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. Nothing onerous and most definitely to help you to connect better with your spirit helpers.
What does it cost?
Just £49 for all four sessions* as well as open and honest feedback about your experiences in case I can improve it further. Plus your testimonial if you are as happy as I hope you will be!
*Future courses will be charged double, so this is a great chance to learn for less.

FAQs
When and how long are sessions?
I will set up the class times via email to suit everyone starting the week beginning 25 November so it will be finished before Christmas. Sessions will be 2 hours long, although as this is the first time this course has run please allow extra time in case they run over slightly. I hope to start the course by the end of November either at 10am, 2pm or 7pm depending on time zones. Please express any preferences via email.
How do I pay?
After mid-November I will email payment details. On receipt of prompt payment I will send out an email to arrange the dates to get us going asap. Once dates have been agreed, refunds are not possible.
I'm interested but can't make it - when's the next course?
I hope to run another early 2020. Please let me know if you're interested and I will make sure you get a special discount off the next running of the course, by way of a thank you.
This is a taster course - what if I'd like to learn more?
I will be developing 'A Further Taste of Spirit' course for 2020, run along similar lines. I also offer Introductory Workshops that cover more than the internet based sessions, as well as one to one healing and 'shamanic counselling' which we can do in person or over the internet. See www.wildbearshamanism.com for more details of my courses.
Can you give me an example of how shamanism helps you in your everyday life?
Yes, I can. Setting up this course, for example. But bear in mind I started my shamanic work back in 2000, so I have a pretty clear relationship with my spirit helpers, and I have learned how to interpret my journeys with lots of practice!
As I wanted to know what my next step in my work I went to ask a helper I trust deeply using the 'shamanic journey' to a drum. My Spirit Teacher got me to plant lots of different types of seeds with her. Some needed to germinate for a while, some needed pushing in, some needed to just rest on the surface and get going straight away.
In relating this to my work and the clear question I asked, I understood I just need to get going in some areas, whilst letting others germinate. And I need a range of different ‘seeds’ to grow in my work. Yet more powerful was the beautiful 'felt' sense of being with her, and the incredible and wonderful emotions this brings up. There were many other teachings too - this was just the first few minutes of my shamanic ‘journey’.
Acting on the suggestions our spirit helpers give us is just one way we can bring the power back to this reality – and make a very ordinary life into something rather extraordinary!
