The Shaman's Journey Apprentice Program 2006 - 2007

Embark on this 12 month program where you will discover the healer, seer, and peace facilitator in you. Shamanism is a spiritual belief that says that all things have a spirit and all things are connected. Shamans facilitate healing for themselves, others and the planet by journeying and accessing information from their animal totems and spirit guides. We act as the "hollowbone" that Spirit uses to bring about healing. This time is now for us to join together, learn our power and help heal ourselves, each other and the planet. This 12 month program will include but is not limited to:

*healing modalities for yourself and others
*extraction
*power animal retrievals
*ancestor work
*death and resurrection
*working with elementals
*soul retrieval
*altars
*rituals
*the medicine wheel/circle of life

The Shaman's Journey will introduce you to core shamanism techniques that cross all cultures. Additionally you will learn shamanic traditions from the Saami, Peruvian Andes, Peruvian jungle(paye' tradition), Native America and other shamanic cultures.

The cost for the 12 month program is $900.00. A non-refundable deposit of $200.00 is due upon acceptance into the program. Payment plans are negotiable. There will be homework between meetings. More information about what to bring, meals, etc. will be provided upon acceptance into the program.

If you are interested in applying to the program, please send Karen Johnson a short/one page letter that tells me a little about your spiritual interests, how you currently pay the bills (what is your current job) and why you are interested in this program. An Intro to Journeying class is required. If you have extensive journey experience, please state that in your letter and tell me who your teacher is.

Group size is limited to 8/10 people. If there is enough interest, I will consider running two groups concurrently.

You can miss one class session during the program. You must still pay the entire fee. I will make arrangements to give you the information that you will miss. But I would encourage you to commit to the entire program. These are not individual classes. Each class builds on the previous ones.
