Itzhak Beery

This “mini-apprenticeship” is for those who have had some exposure to shamanism and some experience of journeying into non-ordinary states but who wish to go deeper, either to make shamanism part of their daily practice or to add its age-old healing methods to their repertoire of healing practices. We will explore rituals and practices from several traditions, including those of the Ecuadorian Quechua and of the Brazilian Amazon; shamanic journeying to the upper, middle and lower worlds; the role of power animals and teachers; the use of huachas (sacred items); how to set up and properly use a sacred altar from which to draw power; chants and the role of music in healing; shamanic divination; the development of intuition; healing techniques; and, most importantly, how to protect oneself from negative energies. Weekly homework will be given.

Note: Bring drums and/or rattles if you have them, as well as eye coverings, a blanket, a journal and a pen. Sage will be burned in class.
