MICHAEL HARNER’S The Way of the Shaman® The Basic Workshop in Core Shamanism (Weekend – IN PERSON)
Shamanic Journeying, Power, and Healing
Thirteen hours of Foundation for Shamanic Studies (FSS) Continuing Education credits available.
Are you ready to embark on a transformative journey that connects you to the wisdom of ancient practices? Join us for an immersive workshop that opens the door into the world of Core Shamanism—an opportunity to explore your spiritual potential and tap into the hidden realms of consciousness.
In this workshop, often called “The Basic,” you will develop your practice of shamanic journeying—a powerful and time-honored method of accessing nonordinary reality. Imagine gaining the insights to navigate life’s challenges and enhance your well-being through profound experiences passed down through generations.
You will learn to journey with the drum and rattle, be introduced to divination and healing, and foster a deep connection with nature, the cosmos, and your spirit helpers. This course is not just about learning techniques; it’s about awakening latent spiritual abilities and discovering your unique path in the more extraordinary tapestry of life.
Engage in enriching discussions, share powerful insights with fellow participants, and experience practices emphasizing ethical considerations in shamanism. Whether you’re new to these concepts or looking to deepen your existing practice, this workshop provides a safe, substance-free, and supportive environment for exploration.
If you feel called to expand your spiritual practice and embark on a profoundly personal journey, take this opportunity to learn from guest faculty member Kerri Husman the methods of Michael Harner and the Foundation for Shamanic Studies, which are grounded in the universal, near-universal, and common methods of core shamanism. Your evolution awaits—use the QR code provided for further details and registration. Don’t miss the chance to reconnect with the wisdom of your ancestors!

The services, including instruction, provided by her at Mammoth Hills Coaching and Wellness, LLC, are separate from her psychiatric practice and not available to past or current psychiatric patients.
