- The Foundation for Shamanic Studies offers a transformative course called Shamanism and the Spirits of Nature™ that invites participants to embark on a journey into the heart of the natural world. This course is designed for those who wish to deepen their connection with the Earth’s spirits, explore nature’s wisdom, and learn to live in harmony with their environment.
- Under the guidance of our esteemed Guest Faculty, Kerri Husman, participants will delve into the sacred relationships between humans and the natural world. Kerri’s expertise will lead you through journeying and direct revelation techniques, opening the door to the rich tapestry of the spiritual realm. This unique opportunity to learn from Kerri is one of the many compelling aspects of this course. Its holistic approach, informative lectures, and specific journey instructions, combined with direct engagement with nature through exploration walks, rituals, and communal sharing, create an immersive experience that fosters a profound sense of interconnectedness and reverence for the Earth, enhancing personal and spiritual growth.
- The course is about individual growth and community building, with the people, the benevolent land spirits, and the environment around you. It is also about building power and learning to work and heal in new and unique ways in the middle world. With a focus on empowerment and self-discovery, the course equips individuals with practical tools to navigate their spiritual paths while contributing positively and respectfully to the environment. Students leave the course with valuable insights and practices. Even more importantly, they become part of a strong support network of like-minded individuals who share a passion for ecology, spirituality, and healing. This sense of community fosters a feeling of being welcomed and included, enhancing the overall experience of the course. Join this enchanting journey and embrace the wisdom of the natural world, allowing the Spirits of Nature to guide you toward a more fulfilling and harmonious existence. Whether you are relatively new to shamanic practices or have experience in the field, this course promises an unforgettable adventure that will inspire and transform your life.
