The Foundation Weekends and Training Courses
These weekends cover the essentials of shamanic practice, including soul retrieval, working with ancestors, shamanic healing, and much more. The workshops can be done in any order, and people are free to do the workshops they feel drawn to, and leave others out. But taken together the workshops comprise a really thorough and solid training, for any one who really wishes go deeply into shamanic work. Many of these workshops are essential training and experience for those who wish to go on to do the practitioner training.
To attend any of these courses you need to have attended one of the Introductory days, or an equivalent course run by either Paul Francis or another core shamanism practitioner.

Costs
I try to keep the cost of the weekends as affordable as possible. So the for advanced weekends other then the Shamanic Homeopathy weekends the cost per weekend (at the time of writing this) is...
- £125 if booked individually. Or...
- £100 per weekend if you book for 2 or 3 weekends.
- Or only £90 per weekend if you book for 4 or more in one go.
The deposit required is £30 per weekend you are booking on. Except in the case of my cancelling the course, deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable (so please do not ask!). The balance for each weekend becomes due three weeks before the weekend is due to start. You can still leave it till the weekend to pay the balance, but if you cancel within this three week period, or do not turn up for the weekend, then the balance will still be due (unless I have been able to fill the place with someone from the waiting list). Book here.
The Shamanic Homeopathy course is £630 for the six weekends (only £105 per weekend). To book, the deposit for the course is £120, balance of £510 can be spread over the 6 weekends as 6 payments of £85 each.* Further reduction: if you have already experience in shamanism to at least the level of having done an introductory day or weekend with myself or another shamanic teacher, then some of the first day of the first weekend will be revision to you (revision, but still useful I hope!). To compensate for this though, you can have a further £30 of the balance due, making your balancing payment only £480, or £80 per weekend if paid in instalments.
