Discover a deeply transformative path of healing and self-discovery in this foundational workshop with shamanic practitioner and somatic pioneer Isa Gucciardi, Ph.D. In this immersive course, you will learn the ancient practice of the shamanic journey—a powerful method of entering meditative states to access inner wisdom, gain insight, and restore balance. Rooted in the traditions of indigenous healers and adapted for the modern seeker, this practice offers a direct and personal way to connect with your own inner wisdom and the unseen forces of the Earth.
Isa’s unique approach blends shamanic journeying with focused inquiry, creating a rich framework for spiritual insight, emotional healing, and personal empowerment. Whether you’re looking to deepen your self-understanding, access intuitive guidance, or develop new tools for working with others, this course provides a grounded and accessible way to explore expanded states of consciousness safely and effectively. It also offers practical guidance on how to frame questions, interpret symbolic experiences, and differentiate between intuitive wisdom and magical thinking.
Ideal for anyone on a healing path or seeking greater authenticity, this course is also an essential foundation for professionals interested in integrating shamanic tools into their work. It is a prerequisite for both the Applied Shamanism and Depth Hypnosis certificate programs. Prepare to reconnect with your deepest self, awaken your creative potential, and walk more fully in your truth.

Our On Demand workshops offer everything the regular courses offer, except the Live Q&A portion. Instead, you will have access to a past Q&A session from a previously recorded class, in addition to the class content. The course and course materials will be accessible for you to view for six weeks. As with most of our classes, once you have taken one of our core On Demand classes, you will be eligible to retake the class at the returning student rate for up to five years.
Please note: If you are taking one of these classes as part of a certification or as a prerequisite to another course, you will need to turn in a 1-2 page synopsis and reflection of the class by the end of the six week access period.
