Finding Your Medicine: The Healer's Path:

Begins April 10th, 2011
Advanced training for those people
who wish to develop their skills as Healers.

Topics include: soul retrieval, extraction, healing with spiritual light,
assisting those in the process of dying, helping souls to
cross over (psychopomp), Celtic healing methods, divination for
others, wilderness quest for vision & power and our healer
mentorship support system.

Pre-requisite: you are journeying successfully & have a working relationship
with your helping spirit(s). This class is for people who have moved past the
majority of their personal issues and are ready to reach out to help others.
The focus of this class is not for personal healing, though personal healing
does happen in this class as it does throughout life.

This is the 16th year I have taught this course.

Alida Birch, MSW, CSC, and Marta Boyett are pleased to announce advanced-level instruction in shamanic practice, presented as a year-long training. Frontiers in Shamanism both expands on and transcends existing courses in core shamanism. This will be the third year it is presented. Feedback from first and second-year participants has been enthusiastic. One student chose to take the course twice!

Going into our third year, we look forward to reaping the benefits of experience by deepening the previous curriculum, and expanding certain areas of focus.

Course content will be directed by three factors:
" Instructor choice, arising from our 46 years combined experience and exposure to many teachings.
" The guidance of our helping Spirits.
" The unfolding needs of the Circle.

The current course outline includes but is not limited to: ethnic traditions, especially central Asian and north European; Plant Spirit healing; advanced ways of merging for miraculous outcomes; different styles of working with power objects for healing; and Middle World specialties including Faery healing. Participants learn the beauty and balance of enacting exquisite community ceremony in one tradition, contrasted with the stripped-down, silently effective methods of another. Particular emphasis is placed on powerful traditional methods that can be most unobtrusively integrated into the modern Euro-American setting.

Frontiers in Shamanism broadens the scope of understanding, deepens relationship with Spirit to an inexpressible degree, and promotes practitioner versatility and adaptability to any situation. We invite you to join us in taking this step.

Pre-requisite is completion Healer's Path or the equivalent. Begins March 13, 2011.
