Working with the Weather Spirits and the Elements

The primary goal of shamanic practice is to bring human affairs into harmony with the natural world. When human activity disrupts this balance, intentional work is needed to restore it. In this Advanced Applied Shamanism course, you will learn practices for aligning yourself more deeply with the forces of nature and gain tools to help heal areas of the environment affected by human activity. Special focus will be on working non-locally with guidance, engaging with the five elements—water, air, fire, earth, and space—understanding the influence of weather spirits, and utilizing ritual and ceremony as powerful strategies for creating meaningful change. You will develop the ability to apply advanced shamanic practices to positively address pressing challenges such as climate change, water and soil pollution, deforestation, and chemical contamination.

This workshop is ideal for anyone who wishes to support the natural world, actively respond to the ongoing harm humans have caused, and work deeply with the unseen forces of nature to bring healing and restore balance.
