Shamanic Practitioner Training
Steve provides ‘industry-standard-setting’ courses in compassionate shamanic healing. These are an astoundingly rich source of personal growth and well-being that brings understanding and empowerment to students’ lives. Exceedingly timely in the present era, shamanism is the voice of a natural spirituality in an age that is desperate to reconnect with the Earth.
Whether you consider shamanic healing something physical, spiritual or even psychological, Steve always encourages you to come to your own conclusions. Different cultures and practitioners understand the reasons for its effectiveness in many, widely differing ways.
Shamanic Practitioner Training is simply aimed at developing skilled practitioners. You will likely find yourself challenged as you learn and internalize an extraordinary amount of information and experiences that are packed into each training level. Students at each level are provided with clear and comprehensive training manuals, so that you will not be slowed by excessive note-taking during your training, and can instead focus on the material, assured of complete and comprehensive material to refer back to in the future. Practitioner training courses are suited for developing one’s own very well-grounded shamanic spirituality into your life, and are designed to support a professional practice, either as a shamanic practitioner, or when incorporating this modality with others. They are taught in accordance with what are considered ‘best practices’ in shamanic work as these are broadly understood today, and the education builds a step-by-step foundation that will assure you of completing each level well trained.
Each class cohort is intentionally kept small to provide the necessary oversight and mentoring the material requires. Education begins with level 1, the first of four 25 hour healing certifications within a 100 hour training program, steadily advances through intermediate levels 2 and 3, and culminates in the advanced level 4. Certification is awarded at successful completion of each level, and a 100 hour (cumulative) advanced certification is awarded to those who complete level 4 requirements.
Courses require a commitment of time and focus, requiring weekly readings and practice sessions outside of training days. However, the steps build a solid shamanic understanding and fluency. With this base, if we choose, we can turn to healing others.
Workshop rates are $425.00 per level, which includes printed manual and certification.
New training groups are arranged and each series begins whenever a cohort of 7 (minimum) have enrolled in the level 1 foundation course. Contact Balance Health of Ben Lomond at (831) 336-1300 to be placed on the gathering list for the next level 1 class.
