Join Brian Cunning in an introductory course to discover the world of the shaman and your power animal.

What is Shamanism?

Shamanism is an ancient tradition of living in harmony with creation that strives to strike a balance between mind, body and spirit for the overall good of the community and the world around them. Shamans practice techniques that involve trance like states into non-ordinary or altered states of being, or what we call Shamanic State Consciousness (SSC). While in these states of SSC the Shaman experiences deep insightful meaning and instruction from spirits, animal helpers and guides. Upon return to ordinary reality the Shaman then empowers, heals and restores the balance required for well being to them and the members of their community.

Advanced Shamanism

Brian offers an 8 week course for more advanced practitioners already familiar with core Shamanic journey work. The main focus of the class will be strengthening your discipline and practice with 5 key live drum journeys, building Shamanic communities and the learning of two new rituals for use in your Shamanic work.
