Would you like to embark on a new journey and explore shamanism? Or are you ready to take a deeper look at your existing path as a shamanic practitioner? In ‘Getting Started with Shamanism’, you will learn the fundamental principles through which a shaman views reality. Through traditional ceremonies, you’ll activate your innate spiritual perception (seeing) and awareness (feeling). This opens up the art of dreaming and awakens the world of spirit helpers and personal medicines. You’ll become a conscious bridge between different realities and a channel for healing, creation and wisdom.

You perceive everyday life with clarity and communicate directly with the consciousness of whatever you connect with. Just like a shaman, you illuminate your life’s path step by step. You heal the primal wounds of the past and transform them, through purity, into the potential of the new world. During this programme, you will acquire the basic skills to dream up and perform your own rituals as a shamanic practitioner.

Michael Star Stone has been working alongside shamans from other traditions for many years and has created this introductory programme for anyone who feels called to reawaken the ancient knowledge of the shamanic ancestral traditions in Western Europe during these times of great transformation. Beyond the traditions of the past lies the personal medicine that every person comes to bring here on Earth. When you discover and live by these medicines, vitality, balance and peace arise.

Medicines of perception & awareness, Medicine Wheel and Personal Medicines
You activate your spiritual perception and awareness. The art of dreaming unfolds.
You learn more about healing and how to apply it for yourself and others.
You discover your relationship with the cardinal directions.
You experience trance journeys and out-of-body experiences.
You realise what shamanic death means.
You become a channel for sacred sound through sound, drums and other instruments.
You develop the ability to establish direct communication and thus receive messages as a channel.
You learn to dream your own shamanic rituals.
Now that your dream world is active, you will dream your personal medicines from the cardinal directions. You will learn to work more deeply with the cardinal directions, medicine colours, totems and ancestors. You will now communicate directly with the source of light behind the medicine. Awakening your personal medicine brings strength, balance, insight and a sense of purpose. Working with your personal medicines helps you to attain mastery over the dream reality.
