Advanced Holistic Shamanic Practitioner Apprenticeship Program

This program is open only for those who have completed at least level one of the Holistic Shamanic Practitioner Course. This course is suitable for those who have completed level one or level 2 (including Year of Sacred Ceremony).


This one year  (12-month) program begins January 10, 2026; and will run on the second Saturday of the month, from 10-5 through December, 2026. The course will be offered in a HYBRID format both on Zoom and in person, with recordings provided of each class, along with handouts and other materials as needed. While recordings will always be available, it is strongly recommended to attend as many classes as possible either in person or live on Zoom to get the most out of the program.


There will also be video teachings (not just the class recordings), practice sessions and an additional monthly Zoom call to go over questions and answers about teachings and practice work between classes.


This course is for those who want to deepen their practice, review important teachings, learn important new practices, and work with like-minded community for real-world application of these sacred tools and teachings.


Each month we will work with a theme and practice personal and group Shamanic and Andean healing techniques, ceremonies and rituals that support creating positive transformation and healing, and give you greater spiritual support and empowerment, build your skills and confidence working with Shamanic tools and techniques, while being of service to others and the earth.


We will continue incorporating teachings from the Q'ero Tribe, the Andean traditions, Core Shamanism, and Western Metaphysical teachings to strengthen and support your own personal empowerment, healing, life force and vitality, and forge a deeper connection to our Guides and Helping Spirits, and give you greater confidence and more tools for working with your own clients and groups.


It is a wonderful opportunity to expand your gifts as a Shamanic Practitioner to empower and heal yourself, your ancestral lineages, families and serve your community.
