The Shaman Initiate Program (Advancing from Practitioner to Shaman) 6-Wk Course

Thursdays at 6pm EST/3pm PST, Beginning September 3rd

There comes a point in every practitioner's journey when learning techniques is no longer enough. The healing methods, spirit journeys, ceremonies, energy work, and rituals have become familiar. You know how to help others—but now you are being called to become something greater.

This advanced training is designed for experienced practitioners who are ready to move beyond simply practicing shamanic techniques and begin embodying the role of a spiritual leader, guide, wisdom keeper, and bridge between worlds.
Throughout this immersive program, you will deepen your relationship with the spirit world, strengthen your partnerships with helping spirits and ancestors, develop advanced healing methods, learn to hold sacred space during profound transformation, and cultivate the wisdom required to guide others through life's most difficult passages.

Topics include:
Advanced Spirit Journeying
Healing Commitment
Psychopomp & Crossing Work
Sacred Ceremony Design
Spirit Negotiation & Diplomacy
Working with Ancestors and Lineage Healing
Nature Mysticism and Land Spirits
Developing Your Own Shamanic Tradition

This is not a beginner's course. Students are expected to already possess a strong foundation in shamanic practice (by taking Spirit Walking at BBA or other work outside of BBA), energy healing, meditation, or similar spiritual traditions. This program focuses less on "how to perform a technique" and more on developing the discernment, confidence, and spiritual maturity that define an authentic shaman.

You must come in with your own cultural connection or commitment and we will facilitate the rest, even if you would like to do a blended practice!
