Core Shamanism
What is Core Shamanism?
We are inheritors of a profound spiritual tradition – shamanism. Rooted in principles that can be found all over the world, it is thousands of years old and at the same time cutting-edge. Shamanic work has persisted for one simple reason: it works.
Training
Basic Workshops
Proven formats of introductory workshops in which participants gain access to shamanic journeys and other divinatory and healing techniques. The goal is to establish contact with one's own spiritual helpers and thus have authentic spiritual experiences. These workshops lay the foundation for the core shamanic training.
to Basic Workshops
Advanced Workshops
The advanced workshops are each dedicated to a selected focus topic, into which the participants are initiated step by step. Each of these workshops is part of the shamanic training and serves to intensify the relationship with one's own spiritual allies.

The formats range from experimental and research design to classical divinatory or healing sessions for clients.

Counseling
Harner Shamanic Counseling™
Harner Shamanic Counseling (HSC)™ is a counseling approach based on the principles of classical shamanism. The aim is to enable clients to facilitate the technique of the shamanic journey for themselves in a safe and effective manner. By doing this, clients establish first-hand contact to their spiritual allies and are consequently able to find answers to important questions on their own. This represents a major step in spiritual development, leading to real empowerment.
