"Shamanism is not a course, but a life journey" - Alberto Villoldo

Are you being called to investigate the mysteries of Shamanic Healing and 1-2-1 Therapeutic Shamanic Practise?

 

Do you have a love for Nature, a Spiritual curiosity, and a desire to deepen your own knowledge around the mechanics of the Soul and the realms of the Spirits, whilst drawing upon Ancient Shamanic Wisdom and Practices?

Are you ready to embark upon a profoundly transformational healing journey that will give you a big toolbox of Shamanic skills and knowledge to use for yourself, your loved ones, your community and the collective, however far you wish to be of service?

  

If you have answered YES to any of these questions, then this Shamanic Practitioner Online Training is for you!!

"I signed up to a Shamanic process to learn about the cycles of nature. From here began my journey into energy, shamanism, healing and freedom. Never underestimate the power of just one small decision to change your life."

"Little did I know when I stepped onto the path of the Wild Witch 5 years ago, where my journey would lead me. Thank you to Joanna Joy who introduced me to Shamanic practise and helped me find Crow on that day. He has become my constant guide and companion and was with me today as I graduated as a Shamanic Practitioner!"

There Are Many Ways That We Can Apply The Shamanic Healing Techniques Outlined Above

THERAPEUTIC APPROACHES

Depending on time, distance and the convenience of your clients being able to access you, you can work in a myriad of ways to achieve the same outcome... the goal of which is effective healing results for your clients.

This Apprenticeship incorporates the study and investigation of the practises and purposes of the following different Therapeutic Approaches…

  • Face-To-Face Healing

  • Distance Healing

  • Online Healing

  • Ceremonial Healing 

 

Each have their advantages and disadvantages, but ultimately, they all work.  And that is the important part!  No matter your circumstance, or that of your clients, it is amazing to have the flexibility to work in whatever way works for you both. 

You may prefer to focus your practise within your immediate community, in which case, Face-To-Face and Ceremonial Healing are more applicable Therapeutic Approaches.

But if you want a much wider client base, and to be able to work with people all over the world, as I do, then Distance Healing and Online Healing approaches are absolutely essential. 

You will be taught all of these Therapeutic Approaches so that you have the greatest potential to work in the way you are guided to and meant to. 

With the instant global reach of digital and communication technologies nowadays, Shamanic Healing is becoming more and more accessible the world over, and increasingly sought after.

I have had clients in the UK, Austria, Canada, USA, India, Bulgaria, Romania, Guatemala, Scandinavia... 

Working Distantly and Online allows me the freedom to work from anywhere in the world, and it has been an essential part of my financial strategy, that has enabled me to relocate internationally when turbulent times called for a radical change in life-circumstances.

"Shamanism is about shape shifting. Shamanism is about doing phenomenology with a tool kit that works" - Terence McKenna

Spiritual Archaeology - Finding The Root Of The Issue

DIAGNOSTIC APPROACHES

We will be exploring the following Diagnostic Approaches from which we can understand the underlying causes of an issue, as well as how to remedy them... 

  • Client Lead Healing

  • Practitioner Lead Healing 

  • Spirit Lead Healing

 

Many of the issues that I help my clients to deal with in my Healing Practise are made up of layers and layers of energetic causal factors and entanglements.  We will often use a number of different techniques to address the many underlying causes that contribute to one main symptom or problem. 

And very often we will receive different diagnostic information, Spirit Helpers and remedial actions depending on if we work in a Client Lead, Practitioner Lead or Spirit Lead way.  None is better or worse than the other, and in fact they all play their parts in giving a bigger picture perspective to the situation than just one Diagnostic Approach would offer. 

Very often, my one-to-one client sessions are a mixture of these three Diagnostic Approaches, and I will inter-change depending on what comes up, how energetically capable my client is, or if I feel there is something that we are missing in the bigger picture of the issue. 

I love being able to guide my clients to do their own shamanic journeying and healing work, because it offers them such a powerfully authentic experience, to have their own profound realisations and insights around the causes and the remedies for their problems. 

The benefit of the Practitioner Lead approach is that I can draw upon my knowledge of the tools and techniques I have available to me, as well as the main underlying causes of any scenario, and assess which tools are most suitable for whatever symptoms or indicators are coming up for my client.

And Spirit Lead work ALWAYS brings forward the golden nuggets of information and guidance that neither myself nor my client could have known about or considered, bringing insight regarding deeper underlying causal factors, or an eagle-eye bigger picture view to the whole situation.

Again, having the flexibility to move between these Diagnostic Approaches always gives me an effective and efficient way to work, whatever my client or their situation brings. 

"Shamanism is a great mental and emotional adventure, one in which the patient as well as the shaman-healer are involved" - Michael Harner

Who Do You Wish To Serve With These Skills?

Increasing numbers of people are being intuitively lead and spiritually guided to the Alter of Shamanism for both it's therapeutic benefits for holistic health and well-being, as well as it's ability to deeply re-connect people back to their own Soul and Spirituality, the Land and the mysterious realms of the Spirits.

In a time where many are struggling to make sense of the chaotic and uncertain world they find themselves in, the practise of Shamanism is gaining pace as it offers us...

  • stability, inner peace and power

  • untangling us from the sticky webs that bind us

  • removing the knives that wound us

"Shamanism is being reinvented in the West precisely because it is needed" - Michael Harner

My name is Joanna Joy and I will be your Human Teacher, guiding you through the theoretical teachings of this Apprenticeship, setting the practical tasks for each step of the journey, and providing the framework for you to deepen your relationships with your Spiritual Guides, Helping Spirits and Ancestors who will be your greatest Allies, Protectors and Spirit Teachers on this path.

"Shamanism is a path of knowledge, not of faith, and that knowledge cannot come from me or anyone else in this reality. To acquire that knowledge, including the knowledge of the reality of the spirits, it is necessary to step through the shaman's doorway and acquire empirical evidence" - Michael Harner

White Buffalo Calf Woman

White Buffalo Calf Woman has offered herself as our Shamanic Apprentice Guide and Spirit Teacher for this journey

She is a legendary Spirit Teacher, Prophet and Ancestor of the Native American Lakota/Sioux nation of North America

Whenever I run a Course, Program, Training or Membership, I always request a Spirit Teacher to guide and oversee the process, for myself as well as for my students. 

When I called for a Spirit Teacher for this Shamanic Practitioner Online Training, White Buffalo Calf Woman arrived! 

She is renowned for bringing the teachings to the people of how to live in balance and harmony with each other, as well as how to honour and celebrate Mother Earth and Great Spirit. 

There is a prophesy where she tells the people that she will return in the times of great change to bring back the Wisdom Teachings of the Old Ways. 

There are many other indigenous prophesies that foretell times of great tragedy and challenge, where the ancient and safely held indigenous knowledge and practices will be shared with the rest of Earth's people to bring us all back into balance. 

While many different indigenous people have their own names for their own specific prophesies, many of us know of them collectively as the Prophesies of the Rainbow Warriors. 

White Buffalo Calf Woman has come to invite us, encourage us, teach us and show us how to use the Wisdom, Knowledge and Practises of the Old Ways to ease the turbulent and chaotic transition from an old and dying paradigm, to a new, better and brighter paradigm here on Earth. 

She is here to teach us how to catalyse this Paradigm Shift, and how to become the Rainbow Warriors of the ancient prophesies.

Are you a Warrior of the Rainbow?

“The great spiritual Teachers who walked the Earth and taught the basics of the truths of the Whirling Rainbow Prophecy will return and walk amongst us once more, sharing their power and understanding with all. We will learn how to see and hear in a sacred manner. Men and women will be equals in the way Creator intended them to be; all children will be safe anywhere they want to go. Elders will be respected and valued for their contributions to life. Their wisdom will be sought out. The whole Human race will be called The People and there will be no more war, sickness or hunger forever.” - ‘Rainbow Warriors’ by Jenni Giovanetti LakotaTimes.Com

“Shaman is a spiritual shuttle between three realms of existence: Heaven, Mankind and Earth. He pierces through inter-dimensional veils in order to heal the parts and unite the whole” - Lada Ray

Frequently Asked Questions

Even within the Holistic Heath and Complementary Medicine Industries, Shamanic Healing is still pretty left-field and far out of the box!

There are no Regulatory Bodies or set curriculum criteria for Shamanic Practitioner Training.

There are also so many branches, lineages and practises with Shamanism that it would be impossible to standardise this most ancient and diverse healing methodology.

Each teacher will have their own path and practise, based upon their own lineages and training.

I will be issuing Certificates for this Shamanic Practitioner Training & Apprenticeship, upon completion of all required case-history practicals and course-work.

Each Year and Level will be certified separately, and then there will be a final certification for completion of the entire Training.

You can supply these Certificates for insurance purposes for your business and practise once you qualify at each Level.

If you wish to receive Certification for completion of this Shamanic Practitioner Training & Apprenticeship, you will need to complete...

  • Worksheets describing the partnership practises and protocols given to you by each of your Spirit Teachers who will come to help you throughout this Training

Practical and Written Assessments for Client Case-Histories for...

  • 15 Healing Sessions for each of the Basic Techniques (Year 1)
  • 15 Healing Sessions for each of the Intermediate Techniques (Year 2)
  • 5 Healing Sessions for each of the Advanced Techniques (Year 3)

 

There will also be a Book List with recommended core texts to read.

I started my Shamanic training at the Lodge of the Singing Stones, in Derbyshire, UK, which has now changed it’s name to the Centre For Shamanic Arts.

My Apprentice Guide and Teacher for 3 years of my Shamanic Apprenticeship there was Carole Youngson, who ran the Lodge of the Singing Stones for 20 years. 

I had other teachers while there too, Pete Edwards and Elaine Casey.

The content of the teachings and traditional ceremonies were drawn from several North American nations, notably Lakota, Hopi and Navajo.

Through my apprenticeship with Carole Youngson, I learned how to practise and hold many traditional Healing ceremonies such as Womb Clearing, Cord-Cutting, Prayer Pipe, and Sweatlodge ceremonies.

I also learned many Personal ceremonies during my Apprenticeship, such as the Flowering Tree and Forgiveness ceremonies.

I participated in Vision Quest and Eagle Dance Ceremonies with my Teaching Lodge during this time too.

 

After completing 3 years of Shamanic Apprenticeship at the Lodge of the Singing Stones, I trained with the Sacred Trust in One-To-One therapeutic methods in Shamanic Healing - Shamanic Practitioner Training.

My teacher at the Sacred Trust was Simon Buxton, the founder of the Trust.

I learned many techniques in Classical Shamanism, which are drawn from several different traditions, as Simon teaches them.

The main techniques taught within the Core-Shamanism framework come from the life-work of Michael Harner (now deceased) and his Foundation For Shamanic Studies, who Simon trained with.

These include the practises of drum-based Shamanic Journeying, Power Retrieval, Soul Retrieval, Shamanic Extraction and Psychopomp work.

Betsy Bergstrom was Simon’s teacher for the De-Possession and Curse-Unravelling teachings.

And she drew her lineage from Scandinavian Seidr and Tibetan Bon Shamanism.

 

I have done a lot of work with Family and Systemic Constellations with various different teachers and facilitators, through the western system established by Bert Hellinger, which he  originally learned in South Africa from the Zulu traditions of Ancestor Worship and Ancestral Healing.

 

I also learned another method and system of Ancestral Healing with Christina Pratt, who founded the Last Mask Centre in New York, USA.  Her shamanic work is a synthesis of studies with Ecuadorian, Tibetan, Tamang, and African shamans, the Foundation for Shamanic Studies, the Centre for Intuitive Energy Processing, and personal shamanic experience.

 

I have worked with her methods extensively and I adapted and built upon this methodolgy for use in Past-Life and Karmic Healing, with the guidance and direction from my own Spirit Teachers.

 

Since arriving in Guatemala, nearly 4 years ago, I have been immersing myself into the indigenous Mayan Cosmovision, spiritual practises and ceremonies, as passed down through the indigenous Mayan shamanic lineages.

 

My first Mayan teacher has been a man named Pedro Pop Gonzalez, a wise plant and dream shaman, who comes from a long patriarchal ancestral lineage of un-officiated shamen.

Pedro’s father was a renowned healer in the region who specialised in removing spirits from people.  Pedro’s grandfather was a sorcerer, and the stories Pedro has told me about his grandfather’s abilities are straight out of a Carlos Castaneda novel!

The officially trained and ordained shamen in the Mayan tradition are known as Tatas (male) and Nanas (female), and they preside over the main Healing and Fire Ceremonies of the Maya.

More recently I have been invited to attend a regular Mayan Fire Ceremony by my neighbour Tata Viento, who run’s our town’s regular Mayan Fire Ceremonies, with all the town’s Tatas and Nanas - ordained and in training - every 13 days.  These regular ceremonies are opportunities to learn the ways of the Mayan Cosmovision by participating in the group ceremonies, for personal and collective healing.  You cannot just decide to become a Tata or Nana if you are a foreigner here.  You must wait to be invited, and regular attendance is a positive step down that road.  And so I feel like my invitation to attend these ceremonies by Tata Viento is a tentative beginning of an apprenticeship into the official Mayan Shamanic tradition.  And the learning continues !

 

There are many other spiritual and healing traditions that were stepping stones, paving the way for me into the realms of Shamanism, and they are still a foundation for my Shamanic practice and understanding - I have been a Reiki Master for nearly 25 years, initiating hundreds of students into Reiki over the years. I completed a two year diploma in Crystal Healing.  I consider myself to be a lay Herbalist and Plant Spirit Medicine practitioner - self-taught and with 4 years of experience working in a Herbal Apothecary.  I have extensive experience in working with animals, spiritually and practically.  The Animal Kingdom has provided me with a huge amount of companionship and learning experiences throughout my life, with a great variety of animals blessing me with their medicine, as I have done what I could to assist them in both Life and Death.

I consider myself to be a self-taught Hedge Witch, as within the European context, that label always fitted me more comfortably than Shaman.  Although really, I consider them to be one and the same.  These are the additional pathways that have shaped my spiritual experiences, outlook and practise, and that flavour my offerings in a unique way.

I can't wait to take this life-changing Soul Journey with you, if the time is right and the prevailing winds are favourable!

 

Much Love
