As a healer, the shaman must often come into contact with death. On this course we will face death from a shamanic perspective. The workshop is for those who wish to learn classic shamanic techniques to help others who are close to death, and to develop a deeper understanding of death. To do so we will confront our own mortality, and learn to use death as an advisor for living fully. We will experience ways to complete unfinished business, explore the territories one travels to after death, and learn to help others cross over to the other side with traditional soul-guide work.

The shaman's work with death and dying is closely connected to both soul retrieval and shamanic healing and is one of the core practices of this work. To be able to be in the presence of death enriches all shamanic practice, as well as teaching us to be more fully alive right now.

Participants must be able to journey easily and have a good connection with their spirit helpers and teachers.

Participants must have completed introductory course The Shaman's Journey or agreed equivalent.
