Shamanic Courses

With Fiona Marchant-Smith R.C.S.T.

Shamanic Craniosacral Therapy Part 1

Each workshop stands alone and will provide practitioners with additional therapeutic shamanic-cranial skills.

Shamanism is humanity’s oldest spiritual practice, a tradition for healing and problem solving. The main emphasis in these workshops is on the shaman’s journey to the world of the spirits and on applying the advice given by the spirits to our cranial practice. We will use traditional methods of drumming, dancing & singing to shift to shamanic consciousness, explore the spirit world and meet with the spirit helpers who can assist us in our craniosacral therapy practice.

This is a very deep and intense workshop and requires participants to have a level of maturity in practice whereby they feel confident to open into a possibly life changing process.

On this course you will:

• Explore your relationship to the 1st subtle body of the aura
• Learn to make the shamanic journey
• Meet and connect with your own spirit guides
• Share the experiences of the journeys in the circle and learn to understand them
• Apply advice of your spirit guides to your cranial practice
• Learn basic shamanic healing i.e. power animal retrieval
• Orientate to the 1st subtle body as a means of grounding & expanding your own potency field
• Apply the advice of your own power animal whilst supporting the integration of your colleague’s power animal using your shamanic-cranial skills
• Retrieve information for a colleague by means of the shamanic journey
• Look closely at the ethics of working

This course will be run with a small group of 6 participants so an early application is recommended.

Shamanic Craniosacral Therapy Part 2

The course introduces us to the emotional subtle body as an entry point into the craniosacral system.

Through making the shamanic journey we will meet and connect with our spirit guides to get the help and advice that we need to deepen into relationship with our own emotional subtle body. We will learn to palpate this subtle body in others using our shamanic cranial skills. The emotional subtle body resides within the integrated whole and interconnects well with the cranial system given the correct conditions. With space and respect this subtle body can affect change throughout the whole system when met skillfully.

Shamanic Craniosacral Therapy Part 3

The Path of the Shaman

This weekend basic course gives participants a practical introduction to Core Shamanism; the classical methods of the shaman to enter the non-ordinary world of the Spirits for problem solving, healing and balance.

We will learn to make the shaman’s journey using the traditional methods of dancing, drumming, and singing to meet and connect with our spirit helpers and teachers, and explore the world of the Spirits. Basic shamanic healing will also be taught. We will share the experiences of the journeys together in the circle, and learn how to understand them. We will look closely at the ethics of shamanic work and the benefits of being shamanic in our daily lives.

This course is an introduction for anyone who’s interested in shamanism and it’s also a gateway for further shamanic courses.

This course will be run as a small group with maximum 8 participants so an early application is recommended.
