About the course
The intention of this course is to make the path of shamanism accessible and relevant to the modern world, whilst retaining and honouring its authentic, indigenous roots. Each session is highly interactive with lots of opportunity for questions and sharing of experience. Support is also provided, if needed, outside of the dedicated live sessions from Jez or his team.
This online foundation in Shamanism course operates both as a stand alone course, whilst also preparing students for the extensive Three-five year Practitioner Course for those that wish to undertake more in-depth work. It is a compulsory prerequisite for those applying to the Practitioner Course to have first studied on the Foundation in Shamanism Course.
What will you learn?
Particular focus will be on:
- Introducing and strengthening participants connection with their spiritual allies
- Providing a solid framework to enhance this connection and provide context and a container for all the shamanic work
- Mastering the practice of going into trance on a regular basis to access wisdom and power from the invisible realms
- Connecting to and healing ancestral lineages
- Strengthening spiritual connections with your local environment and the spirits that reside there, to ground and solidify the work.
How long is the course?
This 9 month course will begin on the Spring Equinox and close with the Autumn Equinox. Comprised of 9 modules, with three ceremonies, each module will involve meeting online for three hours, every three weeks. The meetings will include detailed information and the learning of practical knowledge alongside experiential ritual and shamanic trance work. In between meetings there will be practice and rituals to be done at home and in nature, connecting with your local environment.
More Information
Between modules 3 and 4, 6 and 7 and after 9 additional online sessions will be held for the group to participate in distant ceremony together. Each ceremony will last for two hours. During the course, each participant will also receive two one- hour, individual mentoring sessions with an experienced Second Sight practitioner to ask questions and explore on a deeper level their shamanic path from a personal perspective.
All teaching will be undertaken by Jez Hughes and will be assisted by an experienced practitioner.
