Raven's Drum 2-Year Apprenticeship in Shamanic Studies
Growing in spirit to bring help and healing to the world
Welcome to Ravens Drum's new Apprentices!
This program is for those who wish to take their shamanic knowledge, skills, and experience to a deeper level within a safe and trusted community of spiritual seekers. For some, it will be a preparation to work with integrity, compassion, and confidence as healers and leaders of their own shamanic communities. For others, it will be a process of inner exploration, transformation and growth.
How often do we meet? Over a 2-year period, participants will meet 4 -5 times each year. Two of those annual sessions will be weekends beginning on Friday evening and continuing through Sunday afternoon at the beautiful Kirkridge Retreat Center near Bangor, PA. The other sessions will be one-day, non-residential gatherings at a north Jersey location . Here are the dates through 2020:
Support & ongoing community
This work can be intense at times, and students will be offered the personal mentorship of graduates of past 2-year programs who have volunteered to provide support. Upon completion of this program, graduates will be invited to become part of the Circle of Light, a community of shamans who have been through the previous two-year trainings and have made the choice to continue meeting and working together for the benefit of our planet and one another. Participation is offered by invitation only. If you are interested in being considered for the 2014-2016 program, please contact Julie at [email protected] or 908-399-9762 for an application form.
