Mar. 6-7 - Shamanic Extraction Healing
Shamanic Extraction Healing Training is a powerful healing practice to address localized spiritual intrusions.  You will learn how to work powerfully with your helping spirits to identify, remove, and dispose of these intrusions.

Apr. 10-11 - Dying and Beyond
SHAMANISM, DYING AND BEYOND (prerequisite: Way of the Shaman)Participants learn how to deal with the issue of dying and the destiny of souls from a shamanic perspective. The workshop is both for those who wish to learn for themselves, and for those who wish to help others who are in terminal situations or who have already passed on. Learn what happens to human souls after they leave the body, and journey to become familiar with the after-death realms. Practice the classic psychopomp ("conductor of souls") method, including how to find souls of deceased humans who want assistance, and how to guide them out of the Middle World to the Upper or Lower Worlds where they will be supported on their journey.
