Training in Contemporary Shamanism

The best place to start is the “Foundation Training for Shamanic Journeying & Healing.” This is the pre-requisite for all advanced Shamanic Practice and Healing courses.
All techniques learned can be easily replicated at home in your own time and can complement an existing spiritual routine from other traditions or become your main focus of spiritual evolution.
There is no limit to what you can do with your shamanic practice once you learn how to connect to your Helping Spirits.
Shamanism training is right for you if you are curious about anything related to Shamanism, if you have an affinity for energy work, and if you want to experience something truly magical.
Shamanism is a sober practice, and practitioners do not ingest any substances, which at the same time respects Chiang Mai Holistic’s code of conduct.


2-Day Foundation Shamanic Journey & Healing Training

This is the 2-days foundation training for developing a personal shamanic practice and is suitable for beginners and as a refresher training. In addition, this is the pre-requisite for all advanced training courses.
Shamanism is an ancient spiritual practice that dates back over a hundred thousand years. Shamans are spiritual healers who see with the heart and travel between the seen and unseen realms for healing, divination and ceremony.
The Shamanic Journey is a common ritual performed by Shamanic Healers all over the world, regardless of their culture. It is not required to belong to an indigenous tribe or to be a Shaman in order to learn how to journey. Anyone who feels an interest, can learn this and apply it to gain access to the well of wisdom that dwells within each of us and retrieve information and guidance from Helping Spirits.
As you learn the technique of journeying to a repetitive drumbeat into your own inner worlds, a new door will open for you that goes beyond the limit of your usual perception.
