This advanced series is intended for practitioners who desire not only to expand their knowledge but to embody the teachings through direct experience, self-discovery, and sacred practice. Throughout this journey, we will explore advanced spirit communication, the symbolic language of Spirit, dreamwork, soul retrieval, energetic extraction, the wounded healer archetype, sacred plant medicines and plant allies, death and dying, ceremony, shadow work, and the art of holding sacred space. Each class combines experiential teachings, guided shamanic journeys, discussion, partner exercises, and practical techniques designed to help students integrate these ancient teachings into both their personal lives and professional healing practice. Whether you are seeking to deepen your own spiritual path or further develop your skills as a healing practitioner, this apprenticeship offers a supportive and transformative environment to continue walking the sacred path of the healer with greater confidence, wisdom, and integrity.
