Learn Shamanism:
Shamanic Healing Training OnLine
Share this page with a friend! When we are called to learn shamanism, how do we learn shamanic healing? What does it take to become a shaman? As I describe in How to Learn Shamanism, mastering shamanic healing practices demands hard work, a certain kind of posture towards the world with a compassion and pure intention, a lack of self-interest, and a deep desire to serve as a healer. A student of shamanism must be particularly grounded and stable, with a flexible, expansive and keen awareness. It is on top of this that the practices, ritual, and shamanic healing techniques must finally rest. Then, it is the spirits who decide to work with us or not, and it is they who have the power that allows any practitioner to effectively enable healing or divination, and it is the people - the clients and friends and family of clients - who decide one can be called a shaman. “It has been an awesome experience. I so appreciate the work you have done to bring it to the general public. I agree with you that it needs to be available, and not at exorbitant costs.”

can come to face-to-face learning. I couldn't have taken this
training if it wasn't offered online. This fit my needs and
surpassed my expectations."

Learn Shamanism:
an Overview of Shamanic Healing Training
If the call to study shamanism is reaching you, how then do you start? I recomend: Healing Through Shamanism: the Practitioner's Journey to the True Self, the first of a beginning through advanced series of comprehensive shamanic training courses. You can now learn shamanic practices directly because technology has allowed for the blending of traditional individualized mentoring with the contemporary need for excellence, accessibility, and affordability that is now found online... with a low carbon footprint!
This is a benchmark shamanic healing class with comprehensive and clear training materials in shamanic healing techniques. If you want strong training in your shamanic journeying and are ready to learn basic divination, receive your power animals, find your spirit teachers and learn how to do power animal retrieval for another, there is no need to wait. You can begin shamanic studies and learn shamanic healing practices now.
Setting out to learn shamanism is getting easier. In fact, shamanic classes are increasingly easy to locate around the world as many of us are hungry to remember the ancient, Earth-centered wisdom as we find ourselves, our society, and our Earth suffering without it. Shamanism belongs to all of us: it is our shared, Earth-centered spirituality, an ancient path that brings a much-needed healing for our planet and ourselves today.
But then again, we find ourselves having to choose between them. Which one? Which path should we follow? These decisions need to be made carefully. Of course, we recognize more than just a weekend of shamanic training is probably sufficient, and it would be great if we could have the instructor's attention focused on us alone. Because considerable amount of material can be delivered quickly over the internet and due to the ease with which student progress can be followed online, the need for plane tickets, travel, hotels, and the headaches of organizing all of this plus the cost of the class, is no longer the only way to take a shamanic course.
Or actually, the preferred!
We are starting to recognize that to learn shamanism online has plusses that are outweighing the 'minuses' of the weekend approach. Throughout the many thousands of years of passing this wisdom from teacher to student, when one sought to study shamanism it was always with a carefully monitored education, and one that necessarily persisted over time, usually with one student, and one teacher. This relationship allowed for the crucial oversight and close observation of the student's growth. Over the past several decades this has been lost.
You are provided with comprehensive materials placed right in your hands. Not just one face among a sea of students, you now have one-on-one mentoring. Each level of training provides this so that your questions will be answered individually and your learning mentored over time.
There is no question in my mind that the mentored relationship significantly helps the student develop his or her skills and just as significantly, encourage a well-grounded shamanic spirituality. Moreover, I have set both the material and the program at a level that is sufficient to meet not just the requirements of a university shamanism class, but train you with the standards of world-class practice.
Excellent course! My most difficult challenge was trusting myself.
The content was clear and informative and provided the necessary
grounding and foundation. The feedback from Steve was supportive and
constructive... Steve is very present and available. He honors your
experiences and gently provides the guidance to allow you to recognize
and release what you may be holding fast but no longer need."

Online training in shamanic studies is by far the most cost-effective way to learn this. The level 1 foundation course, as well as the intermediate and advanced shamanism levels that follow, are simply $190.00 each, with 12 units (classes) in each level, each class working out to between 15 and 16 dollars a class. You will not discover to your frustration, an increase in tuition as you step up to more advanced levels. All levels have the same tuition.
Each level lasts 3 months at the very, very least. Usually, students average from four to six months per level. During this time, you will be receiving feedback and direction as you move forward. Also at each level you complete, you will receive a stamped and signed certificate of successful completion from me, stating that you have satisfied all the requirements of training for that level, including some of the important specifics of that level (for example, Level 2 includes extraction and level 3 includes soul retrieval).
Independent internet students make the larger portion of the students who enroll. However, some registered college students are taking this though their institution. Both independent and college registered students will be provided with a username and password to access the course level for which you enrolled. If your college or university is not carrying this course series, you might recommend it to them. That way you can earn college units as well.
As an independent student, you can begin study at any time. Contact me today, and you will probably be working on your first lesson tomorrow.
The journey into shamanic spirituality and its healing begins with Level 1. I assure you that despite what anyone who hasn't tried it might say, that face-to-face classroom teaching is absolutely not necessary for shamanic training.
However, online training does not mean 'relaxed' training. Shamanic study will require dedicated work and successful completion of course materials each unit. Because classes are organized in successive stages that provide certification in increasingly advanced areas, you can choose to expand and deepen your practice to whatever degree you choose.
There is no necessity to train beyond any level, as each is arranged so that it is completely a 'stand alone' in the material that it covers. The first level, for instance, leaves you with the full foundation of a shamanic spiritual practice that you can then maintain throughout your entire life. Here, you will learn important shamanic rituals and practices, and the art of journeying itself as you begin to gather your own spirit helpers.
Each level covers different training materials and introduces practices of increasing complexity. Each unit focuses on a different subject, which will include shamanic ritual, practices and step-by-step instruction to learn shamanic techniques. These are presented throughout the curricula in an order that mirrors their increasingly advanced degrees of difficulty. The levels of training transition the student from being technically adept, to integrating a way of walking in the world that is the shaman’s heritage.

genuine knowledge, come through in every feedback!

In part, because these are certificate courses, they will require time, commitment and involve readings and outside practice that must be written up and returned to me. This way I can carefully observe and follow your progress. My role is to provide you with the material and oversight that shamanic training requires, and your role is to learn and practice. With both of these, you will complete each level well trained!
Shamanic training is a life enhancing experience, whether you intend to use shamanic study to serve professionally, or apply it to your own growth and development. It is necessary for a student to be fairly solidly grounded and reasonably self-assured prior to undergoing shamanic training, which was never intended as a replacement psychotherapy. Those who are psychologically vulnerable should definitely consult with their appropriately liscenced professional before attempting a psycho-spiritual practice that can be as challenging as shamanism. However, for those who are sufficiently well grounded, the simple fact is that this work cannot help but be personally illuminating, empowering, and healing no matter where we are in our journey to recover our true self.
If you have any questions about enrolment, visit the Enrolment Steps page, or about the the course content, visit the Study Topics page, or the Basic Level 1 course page. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you. You can write me at drserr@shamanism-101.com and I will be happy answer them all.
