Applied Shamanism

Applied Shamanism™

Applied-Shamanism-IconThe Applied Shamanism workshops at Sacred Stream offer in-depth, hands on training in shamanic principles and techniques that you can apply right now. With these methods you can address challenges in your life and the world around you, make positive changes, and serve yourself and others more effectively. You will learn a broad range of healing techniques, including power retrieval, soul retrieval, and drum healing, to name just a few.

As you expand your knowledge of Applied Shamanic techniques, you will come to see yourself, the world, and your place in the world in new ways. Our Applied Shamanism courses are designed to support you in this personal transformation. If your path is that of an energy healer or shamanic healer, the courses are designed to help you refine your perceptions, so that all that you continue to learn as you are serving others is easier to integrate.

You will learn:

• How to fully hold your power without overpowering others.
• How to embrace the unknown with your feet on the ground.
• How to deepen trust in your intuition and your connection to spiritual guidance.
• How to be of service to others even as you yourself are evolving and healing.
• How to serve others without being overtaken or manipulated.
• How to make sense of anomalous encounters you may have had and work with such experiences on a deeper level.

Student and Practitioner Groups:

When you train in Applied Shamanism at Sacred Stream, you also can become part of an engaged and active group of shamanic students and practitioners who practice together regularly throughout the year in Journey Groups, Healing Clinics, Healing Circles, Drum Circles, and by participating in FSS’ Space Clearing Society and the Circles for the Earth, which serves the entire local community.

What People Are Saying:

“I have been a student of shamanism for many years and have had many remarkable teachers. I am humbled and profoundly moved by my experience in Isa’s Applied Shamanism workshops. What she teaches here is not being taught by anyone anywhere that I have yet found. Her integrity and dedication to both the sacredness of the material and her students is refreshing and I can’t say enough how appreciative I am.” – Janet S.

“Isa is an exceptional teacher. Her understanding of shamanic practices, and her ability to translate them into a modern healing context is extraordinary. My studies with Isa in the Applied Shamanism program have taught me so much about compassion, integrity, and humility. I am looking forward to continuing my studies with her in the other programs she offers.” – Richard K.
