CONTEMPORARY SHAMANISM

back

Contemporary shamanism is a term used to describe a collection of healing practises used by tribal cultures from across the globe which have been adapted for use in a modern western setting. 'Healing' is used here in its broadest terms and should also be understood to mean healing of the self or self development as well as healing others.

This course is taught as a series of seven, one day workshops.
Each workshop costs £60 per student.
Workshop 1 (introduction to Shamanism)
Workshop 2 (Shamanic Self Development)
Workshop 3 (Retrieving Power)
Workshop 4 (Soul Retrieval & Spirit Extraction)
Workshop 5 (Shamanic Counselling)
Workshop 6 (Finding your Direction)
Workshop 7 (Dreaming and Working with the Dead)

While Martin offers this series of workshops through his usual channels (see tutor for hire); uniquely, he also offers this training using a 'buddy' system.

What is the Buddy System?
Under the buddy system, students are put into small groups of 2, 3 or 4. each group then undertakes the modules in order and at a speed that suits the groups members. No workshop will ever have more than 6 people (i.e. 1 or 2 groups) and will often be delivered to just the one group. In this way, individual tuition is maximised and as the buddy group gels, students can feel more comfortable and confident in tackling the more challenging subjects.
At the end of each workshop, students will be given a task to complete before embarking on the next one. It is intended that each group tackles the task together, offering each other support and feedback, making the work more enjoyable and rewarding.

How do I get allocated a buddy group?
Either students can enrol together as a group (remember this can be as few as 2 people); or if you enrol alone, I can arrange an introduction to other potential students as they become available to form a new group.
