Find out What our students say about the Therapeutic Shamanism courses
The course material is utterly absorbing, fascinating and eye-opening. The most amazing thing though is that it is also presented alongside practical exercises that not only bring the theory alive, but which bring almost immediate positive results. I have done a lot of psychotherapy in my life, and followed a lot of different spiritual practices too, but I have never come across something that is so effective so quickly, and with the added (but, not to be sneezed at!) bonus of being immensely enjoyable too.
This course taught me how to step away from what it means to be human and to really embrace the healing offered by other People. It definitely widened my senses and opened a whole new level of experience available in the lower world. If you want to learn shapeshifting and working with different types of consciousness in journeys, this is the course for you. [Animal, Plant, Standing and Stone People]
Just as a good wine keeps resonating on the palate, the courses provide insights that continue to resonate in mind and soul, long after the course is done! A unique blend of wisdom and support drawn from a wide range of valid psychotherapeutic and shamanic sources, “Finding Your True Soul” has been a transformative course for me. It has not only clarified the distinction between Soul and Spirit, but also, thanks to the practical part of the course, enabled me to embody and inhabit my soul self in the nurturing context of my Lower-World soul tribe. That’s been pivotal in helping me to draw on the fundamental truth and authenticity the soul provides to nourish and keep me more on track in everyday middle-world life.
Really looking forward to continuing learning and journeying with your lovely team!! Thanks so much to you all for the important work you do. A BIG thank you for the life-enhancing courses and the wisdom and support for us on our journeys. It’s making a difference in my life already.
Paul is a wise, modest, kind-hearted, genuine, intelligent, compassionate, considerate, knowledgeable and experienced teacher. And a good human being.
I recommend the college – I have found them to be friendly and extremely knowledgeable, and encouraging. I now have a community with other like-minded people.
Also, I have found the online access to be invaluable. It’s unlikely that I would have been able to join the groups otherwise. As a psychotherapist who practices online, I’m not put off by the online aspect at all, although I did sniff at the idea when I practised only face to face. I now know that it can be extremely effective and being online allows people from all over the globe to come together, which I think is a fantastic thing. It also saves time and unnecessary travel and is accessible for people who cannot travel easily.
The Three Ravens College of Therapeutic Shamanism and Animism founded by Paul Francis, provides a more rich and efficient form of Shamanism than others I’ve given my time to over many years. My practice, therefore, has been utterly transformed, first through reading Paul’s books, then through taking the courses. I’m preparing to take my 5th course in November. This approach takes you far deeper shamanically whilst providing invaluable psychological and emotional support. Rooting into an animist path feels like finally finding home after a long search. Paul is a wise, compassionate, sensitive man who teaches with sparkling clarity, humour, and enthusiasm. I’ve found the Signal community groups and the Three Ravens team to be welcoming and supportive. I’m loving this work. My understanding has grown exponentially and I’ve found a more joyful way of walking through life following these soulful, grounding practices.
Paul is an inspiring, grounded, passionate, sane teacher. He’s honest, emotionally vulnerable, straightforward, kind, funny and does not suffer fools. This is refreshing given the bullshit that is being published and taught out there by head-tripping ungrounded New Age spiritual ‘teachers’. Cat is quietly in the background organising things and is also an amazing therapeutic shamanic practitioner (I’ve had a Soul Retrieval with her one to one) and both make you feel very welcome as an individual. They are also very reasonably priced
A great introduction to therapeutic shamanism. The structure of the course gives both good insights into the theory and the practical side of it, and I loved how inclusive it is both for complete beginners and also for those who have some background in shamanic practices. I am now very motivated to keep on journeying and creating a strong relationship with my guides. I look forward to continuing learning with you.
I can’t believe how lucky I’ve been in finding Three Ravens. It definitely feels like finding the needle in the haystack of ungrounded, unethical and egotistical spiritual practices and teachers. Paul is an incredible, no-nonsense and no-drama teacher and the wisdom he imparts speaks from a lifetime of experience and extensive personal practice. The provision of a space where I can also be surrounded by others who understand my grief about the state of the modern world and the yearning to revive the wisdom and practices we have lost is invaluable. I cannot recommend this college highly enough. My unending gratitude to Paul and the supporting staff.
