Shamanic Training

Shamanic training

Shamanism studies our energetic connection to everything around us, the elements, the minerals, plants and animals, and especially the spirit connections, including to our ancestors, our karma and our sacred dream. We develop our ability to perceive energy and spirit through our energy body, the awareness of which brings us into an expanded state of consciousness. Elara teaches in the beauty way in the tradition of the Twisted Hairs medicine teachings passed on through Arwyn Dreamwalker.

Shamanic healing in this path needs 11 people plus the person being healed and is very powerful. Since Elara learnt how to participate in shamanic healings (both as someone giving healing as well as someone receiving healing), she has been struck by its power and felt inspired to create a community in the UK where we can come together after the training to both give and receive healings. This is a major inspiration for putting this training on and the medicine wheel and shamanic healing will form a significant part of the training. It is intended that regular healing sessions will then be held at Pathways Studio for the participants.

The Medicine Way is a closed group of people that walk together for potentially up to one year if you continue with further blocks. We will explore with Elara both intellectually and experientially the medicine wheel. We will learn new ways of understanding and relating to reality in all its manifestations with respect and equality. The training consists of four 4-day-long meetings and is a strong personal transformation process.

The teaching of the medicine wheel can help us in many areas of life:

• to grow from a childish way of looking at the world into an adult way and see the reality through the mind and heart simultaneously
• to find balance between our inner active and receptive polarity
• to dance our life energy awake to move towards our sacred dream
• to free ourselves on the line of karma – ancestors, thus liberating ourselves from unconscious patterns from the past
• to experience a feeling of oneness and harmony with everything around us, instead of a feeling of helplessness or need for control

***Logistics***

This training can be undertaken as a year long Shamanic training, comprising 4 blocks or Block 1 can be done as a standalone introduction to Shamanism.

The training starts at 13:00 on the Wednesday and finishes at 17:00 on the Saturday for the first block and for the remaining blocks, it starts at 13:00 on the Thursday and finishes at 17:00 on the Sunday.

The training occurs mainly at The Pathways Studio, Manchester and is non-residential. Here we will explore shamanic healing and other indoor activities. The third block will be held residentially in North Wales near Conwy to support outdoor activities such as a vision quest and omen walks.

The cost included in the ticket is just for the teaching fee. You will need to organise your own transport to get there and sort out your own accommodation and food. For the North Wales block, you should allow £80 per night to include food (three meals, snacks and refreshments and accommodation).

The class size will be a maximum of 20 to allow valuable coaching time and exploration of their own character responses. A minimum of 10 people are required to give attendees a typical cross-section of different energies and character responses to explore in person.

You can avoid paying the booking fee by choosing to pay by bank transfer and transferring the payment.
