Michael Harner’s The Way of the Shaman®

The Shamanic Journey
Power and Healing with Beth Beurkens, M.A.

Mount Shasta, California

Saturday, May 16, 2020 – 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Sunday, May 17, 2020 – 8:45AM to 4:15 PM

Course Description

During this experiential workshop, participants are introduced to core shamanism, the universal and near-universal basic methods of the shaman to enter non-ordinary reality for problem solving and healing. Particular emphasis is placed on the classic shamanic journey, one of the most remarkable visionary methods used by humankind to explore the hidden universe otherwise known mainly through myth and dream. Participants are initiated into shamanic journeying, aided by drumming and other techniques for experiencing the shamanic state of consciousness and for awakening dormant spiritual abilities, including connections with Nature.

Practice includes comparisons by participants of their discoveries in shamanic journeys as well as being introduced to shamanic divination and healing. Students are also provided with methods to discover, and study with, their own individual power animals and spiritual teachers in non-ordinary reality, a classic step in shamanic practice. Participants learn how the journey is utilized for divination and to restore spiritual power and health, and how shamanism can be applied in contemporary daily life to help heal oneself, others, and the planet.

This workshop constitutes the prerequisite for more advanced workshops and training courses with Beth Beurkens and the other authorized faculty members of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies.

Mount Shasta

The City of Mount Shasta is surrounded by pine-covered mountains with the snowy volcanic peak of Mt. Shasta towering 14,179 feet high.  Our group room has extraordinary views of Mt. Shasta’s natural beauty and power and also is within walking distance to many small cafes, restaurants and crystal shops.

Scattered throughout the county’s varied landscape are hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails. Spectacular mountain vistas and crystal-clear alpine lakes make Mt. Shasta one of the most idyllic destinations in the state of California.

Tea will be provided on our morning and afternoon breaks.
