Michael Harner’s The Way of the Shaman®
The Shamanic Journey
Power and Healing with Beth Beurkens, M.A.
Mount Shasta, California
Saturday, September 28, 2019 – 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Sunday, September 29, 2019 – 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 nonordinary 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 nonordinary 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 faculty members of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies.
Our group room for this workshop has stunning views of both Mt. Shasta and the Eddies. It is located with easy access to restaurants and lodging. The City of Mount Shasta is surrounded by pine-covered mountains with the snowy volcanic peak of Mt. Shasta towering 14,179 feet high.
Mount Shasta
This popular workshop will be held where there are many sacred places of power on the land. 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.

Shamanic Divination Training
An Advanced Weekend Workshop*
with Beth Beurkens, M.A.
Santa Rosa, California
August 25 & 26, 2018
Course Description
One of the classic tasks of the shaman is to journey into nonordinary reality in order to obtain answers to questions, both at the request of others and for oneself. Participants in the workshop have the opportunity to engage in divination journeys for each other as well as for themselves and to gain experience in using various time-tested shamanic divination techniques. In the shamanic search to become persons of knowledge, they learn, as shamans have from time immemorial, how to converse with plant as well as animal species, how to learn about the use of quartz crystals, and how to seek and receive revelatory knowledge from visionary sources.

Santa Rosa
The city of Santa Rosa is located in the heart of the Sonoma County wine country, yet is only 55 miles north of San Francisco.

Power (Core) Soul Retrieval Training - Portland
2018-04-28 - 2018-04-29
Michael Harner’s
Power (Core) Soul Retrieval Training™
An Advanced Weekend Workshop
with Beth Beurkens, M.A.
Portland, Oregon
April 28 & 29, 2018

Course Description
Learning shamanism is not just a matter of acquiring methods, but also of increasing spiritual power and knowing how to use it. From the shamanic point of view, people who are not spiritually “power-filled” are prone to illness, accidents, and misfortune. Anyone who has had a traumatic experience may lose a portion of their soul, of their spiritual essence. There are also other reasons this may occur.
In this workshop, participants will learn about soul loss and soul retrieval from a shamanic perspective. There will be a particular emphasis on the importance of shamanic power to do successful soul retrieval. Participants will also learn how to re-empower a client’s soul after it has been returned so that the client is once again spiritually power-filled, leading to greater health and well-being.
This soul retrieval training is based on worldwide core principles and methods. It does not require Western psychological perspectives and practices.
FSS Prerequisites for Power (Core) Soul Retrieval Training™
Because effective soul retrieval practice is based in shamanic power, which comes from strong connections with helping spirits and advanced practice in shamanism, participation in this program requires these prerequisites:
1. The Way of the Shaman (the Basic workshop)
AND 2. These two advanced weekend workshops:
Shamanic Extraction Healing Training
and Shamanism, Dying, and Beyond
OR 3. Completion of the Two Week Shamanic Healing Intensive.
All of the Foundation’s programs are based on Michael Harner’s pioneering work in core shamanism – more than 50 years of research, experimentation, development, and teaching. The resulting workshops and training programs embody the authentic, ethical, and effective practice of shamanism and shamanic healing and are widely considered as unparalleled in the world.

IGNITE YOUR PURPOSE AND POWERTM
AN ONLINE COURSE FOR WOMEN

January 11 – March 6, 2017
Wednesday evenings, 6pm – 7:15pm, Pacific Time (US)
If you’re not interested in discovering your life purpose,
building your vitality,
and getting 3 tips to start your process now,
you may as well hit the back button
because being powerful and purpose-filled
is what this page is all about.

Dear Friend,
Do you ever go to bed at night feeling that life is passing you by, that there’s no hope to live a life that is true to yourself and your purpose in being here?
Are you tired of being exhausted and feeling rudderless?
Have you tried counseling, new age trainings and even best-selling psychology books that haven’t worked?
Would you like to break through limiting thoughts that keep you from pursuing your dream purpose?
Or perhaps you’ve hit a plateau and your existing personal growth practices are stale and no longer working?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, this may be the most important letter you’ll ever read.
Like you, I used to feel anguish and despair at night. I felt I would never be able to discover my authentic gifts and offer them to the world. I felt like giving up. I followed a well-beaten path given to me in graduate studies but all it got me was migraine headaches and an ulcer. I thought I wasn’t smart enough or good enough to create my ideal career. I felt sad and hopeless.
And today because of a few simple actions that take less than 7 minutes a day to apply, things are 180 degrees better. I am living an amazing life beyond my wildest dreams. I am an award-winning author, a highly successful Life Coach, and I lead transformational webinars that help women create the life of their dreams.
You can make a start right now by trying out these 3 Quick Tips for making a move towards igniting your power and purpose for your own Life Transformation.

I had so much inertia and anxiety in my life before I stumbled onto the process that opened my power up to me and supercharged my purpose. When I was just getting started and struggling with feeling lost about living my purpose, I sure wish I had had this information I am about to share with you! It would have helped me overcome my despair so much faster. But it took me years to piece together.
While these three tips will get you started, if you want to go more deeply and really gain the longest, lasting benefits, we can work hand in hand using the same system that helped me and countless of my clients, get these amazing results:
I am awake now to manifesting the life I’ve dreamed of.
A powerful shift has taken place inside me and I actually take time for my inner spiritual work.
Something clear and strong has awakened in me and I am now going for what I really want to live in my life.
I get it! What is within me is greater than anything in my surroundings or life circumstances.
I finally know what actually makes me happy and I am incorporating this into my new career. I have Direction!

Ignite Your Purpose and Power is a proven step-by-step blueprint that delivers benefits and results fast. In fact, here is a sample of what you can expect when you join today.
In this course you will discover how to:

But you don’t have to take my word for it. Listen to what some of my successful clients have to say about my online course, Ignite Your Purpose and Power.
I was wandering through life feeling lost and searching for my purpose.
In Beth’s course I was guided to new ways of thinking about my life, and I was empowered to create the life I dream of rather than settling for the life I grew up with. I am blessed with newfound direction, and I now have the power to manifest the life I want!
Katie Q., Washington
Beth’s knowledge of universal shamanic and mindfulness practices is extensive. She simply oozes enthusiasm, inspiration and motivational support! All of us in our group had ongoing access to Beth via email between our sessions.
We were also given a generous free bonus Coaching Session that helped me tie all the practices and teachings together at the end of the course.
Linda B., Oregon
This course helped me identify my life’s purpose and has also given me clarity and confidence to pursue my goals. My zest for life and happiness has increased! Beth really knows her stuff!
Pam S., Califormia
Beth is a wonderfully caring mentor who is committed to witnessing the voices of each participant. Beth listened and advised me on very personal and spiritual levels. Thank you!
Sonya V., Califormia
Women from all over the U.S. and Europe came together in an online format. We could see each other! I gained the sense that I am not alone in my quest to find my life’s purpose.
I appreciate my life so much more now and I am moving forward with my dreams.
Cynthia H., Califormia
You’re not alone anymore – we can do this together!
We will meet together for six weeks, online, beginning January 11 through March 6, 2017. Wednesdays, 6:00 – 7:15 pm, Pacific time.
Other courses in the marketplace with this amount of content can cost upwards of $597. I’d love to give you access to this course for only $197 in exchange for your feedback on what you liked and how I can improve the course.

The Way of the Shaman - Davis, California
2016-04-02 - 2016-04-03
Michael Harner’s The Way of the Shaman®
The Shamanic Journey
Power and Healing with Beth Beurkens, M.A.
Davis, California (near Sacramento)
Saturday, April 2, 2016
Sunday, April 3, 2016
Course Description
During this experiential workshop, participants are introduced to core shamanism, the universal and near-universal basic methods of the shaman to enter nonordinary 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 nonordinary 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 Michael Harner, Beth Beurkens, and the other faculty members of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies.
