Online Classes: Contemporary Shamanism
he goal of these classes is not to provide the student with training in becoming a shaman. That's not possible. One does not become a shaman by attending classes or weekend workshops.

What the classes ARE intended to do is provide information and a working context within which students can learn to apply contemporary shamanic practices and perspectives to their own everyday life.

Students should be prepared to actively engage and participate in the classes. The purpose of each class is not only to provide information, but is primarily to assist the student in affecting change.

Each class is a 6-week series that includes assigned readings and daily exercises, weekly online 'chat' with the teacher, and online web-based resources for students only.

The weekly online chat is primarily a question and answer session in which the student is assumed to have done the assigned work during the week.

Optional materials include specific books and CDs. They are available in most book and music outlets, and can also be purchased through this site.
