The shaman perceives the medicine inherent in all of the natural world and uses this to bring about healing and balance to himself, his village, his world. Shamans from Siberia, Mongolia, Australia, North America, South America, India, Africa and other places in our world all source from nature for their medicine. All know how to journey through the three worlds - the upper, middle and lower worlds to access the information required to bring balance to both people and the land they live in. Shamans work with Spirit medicine, ritual and ceremony, chant and trance, plant medicines and many other tools sourced from nature. Every shaman carries their medicine either in a medicine bundle or a medicine pouch.

The Shamanic practices that you will learn are sourced from many different cultures.  Some of these are the Q'ero Inkan Shamanic practices of the Andes, the Lakota and Navaho medicine people, Tuvan shamanism from Siberia and also Celtic and Aboriginal shamanic influences. All are powerful.

Our Shaman Awakening training will take you on a healing journey where you will gradually assemble your own medicine bundle (Mesa). You will do this by undergoing deep processes of healing.  As you bring healing to various aspects of your woundedness, you will empower your Mesa with that medicine. Each item in your Mesa will carry the essence of the healing work you have done on yourself.

Mesa

A Mesa is a medicine bundle used for healing and ceremony.  It is a portable altar. It contains khuyas and other sacred objects that hold power and meaning to the Mesa carrier.  Khuyas are rumi, stones that are sanctified and empowered to bring healing through transformational processes, prayer, intent and blessing.  Khuyas are medicine stones. You will undergo a different healing process with each of your Khuyas. Once your Khuya is used for your own healing, it will carry the energy of healing as medicine and can now be used for the healing of others.  Your Mesa holds the energy of your own healing journey. It holds the energy of your Spiritual awakening. Ultimately, in Oneness, your Mesa is You. 

If you choose to embark upon this training, please register your interest as soon as possible to give yourself as much time as you can to begin the sacred process of bringing to you the stones that will make up your Mesa.  Instructions on how to gather your stones will be given to you as soon as you have registered. 

Join us for this wonderful journey of reconnection, healing and awakening.  (check EVENTS for dates)

What people are saying about SHAMAN AWAKENING

Let their words give you a small taste of their process
and of what is on offer here...

 
 

SARAH

The Shaman Awakening journey has been one of tremendous growth and healing for me. Sa and Claudio have given me tools to connect deeply with our mother “Pachamama” that has assisted me in healing deep wounding that I thought was unfixable.
This journey does not end after the 16 days, I have found it is only the beginning! The shaman awakening has given me tools to continue working with, for healing and developing awareness, tools that have helped me connect to who I am and reconnect to parts of myself I thought I had lost
I have experienced an amazing heart opening, a deep connection to love that I have never felt before for life.
The bong developed and shared in the group continues to amaze me, how quickly strangers become so bonded like family. I have experienced a sense of belonging I have never known. This course has helped me become more brave, to stop hiding, to develop confidence, release trauma and experience radical healing.
I am forever grateful to the beautiful, caring facilitators Sa and Claudio. They really walk their talk, share openly, are amazingly powerful and humble and full of love. Bless you I love you guys so much.

PAUL

The course is truly a transformationl journey through the psyche, spirit and soul.  Healing old patterns of the past and creating new pathways to personal empowerment and well-being.  Sa & Claudio teach the ancient traditions in a spirit of pure humility and generosity, making the course an enjoyable learning experience for all.  They will provide you with ancient tools to manifest your dreams and help to create a better world.  They are truely special people and doing a course with them is a blessed opportunity for which I am eternally grateful.

FRANCESCA

Shamanic Awakening for me is the light that shone the way to rediscovering  the path that I’m meant to be on… walking with love. I have been freed from the darkness of fear and realized that suffering does not come from situations or relationships but from deep within me.  My greatest healing has come from this understanding as I am now free to choose JOY at any given moment over fear.  This is a powerful and a divine gift. My heart feels lighter and open to love, more connected to nature and the realtionships in my life.

LISA

Stepping onto the Shamanic path was the best decision I have ever made. After attending many spiritual workshops over the years, this has been the most profound. The depth I have travelled to within myself and the discoveries I have made are gold. I have learnt to get out of my way and move through life from my core centre. I am thinking less and feeling more within each moment. Thanks to the two shiny souls who lit the way for me to come out of the dark.

SIMONE

The Shaman Awakening and Deepening journey is perfectly named.
For me l now live my life in a more awakened state. l have connected more deeply to myself, others and the magic that exists in every moment, every breath.
All has significance and meaning, everything is alive and communicating with me. Likewise l am aware that l am energetically communicating with all of existence ALL of the time.
Sa and Claudio created a safe space for me to dive into all or any aspects of my life. Bringing healing, clarity, forgiveness and loving acceptance to both the light and shadow aspects of my being.

I have rediscovered and birthed myself anew . l now have the tools to keep my energetic body renewed and clean. This in turn has meant my capacity to hold and express love for myself and others has escalated and expanded.
The gratitude in my heart is beyond words.

RAYLEEN

As my heart flows I come into connectiveness with all things, taking in all the beauty all around me.
My heart began to flow and I began to sing, for this is the truth of awakening. My voice, my heart, my song. Through Shaman Awakening this is who I am. Thank you Sa, Thank you Claudio for my awakening. I am beginning to live, and having heaps of fun. Aroha Nui

CIAN

After the Foundation Cycle
Many, Many Blessings to you Claudio and Sa. My Shaman awakening has been a most powerful soul healing, which has shook the core of my being. I experienced massive clearing of deep trauma. I have never before experienced a transformative and compassionate healing quite like it. Thank you for your assistance in creating a space where I could explore at great depth, who I really am.

After the Deepening Cycle
The evidence speaks for itself and I can not thank you both enough for having the courage to share your gifts and tools with all.  I embarked on this journey a year ago and what I have been able to acheive in a year, I have been unable to do for the last 20 years.  I am now able to follow my heart's passion (my artwork) and not only that, I also have the ability to utilise my creativity for the healing of others and the world.  Every moment of every day I am walking with peace and integrity. 
THANK YOU DEARLY.

DHARMA

After the Foundation Cycle
The Shaman awakening is a process that pulls out all the 'stops' to stepping into all that you are. The journey begins the very moment you make the decision to go ahead. Be prepared for 'REAL' Growth and Change.

After the Deepening Cycle
The deepening cycle of'Shaman awakening has been the most
profound, enlightening and obove all practically useful
experiencial training that I have undergone in over twenty years of
active seeking. All of the processes invite the participants
to go deeper into uncovering their true essence. This cycle facilitates
a movement through fear and your own blind spots. It is
presented with much patience. grace and understanding by two of the
most genuine and beautiful people I know.
Thank you both for presenting these powerful processes

KRIS

After the Foundation Cycle
Shaman Awakening was and continues to be a wonderfully powerful, challenging, and beautiful experience. What I have gained from it is priceless and mere words cannot describe what I continue to receive. Thank you Claudio & Sa with all of my heart.

After the Deepening Cycle
I feel the deepening is essential to anyone who has completed the foundation cycle. Learning safe and effective ways of using my Mesa as a healing tool for myself and others is an amazing skill to be gifted with, and something I feel blessed to have received. The processes I learnt and experienced were all unique and beautiful in there own ways and the insights and messages I received during the vision quest were especially memorable.
I feel I have emerged from the last 6 months with a deeper level of self knowledge, openness, and inner strength.
Heartfelt gratitude to Claudio, Sa, and my "Mesa" brothers and sisters who walk this path and share themselves so completely with me. I love you all.

LORRAINE

After the Foundation Cycle
The awakening journey was challenging, uplifting, connecting, empowering. Working with our stone brothers and sisters. the elements and nature is awesome and the individual and collective process is beyond words. A wonderful experience.

After the Deepening Cycle
My mind wanted order and schedules, what I received was what I needed in all its gloriousness.  A wonderful experience that is challenging, with highs and lows, laughter and tears, with an unfolding that is unique to each participant. Supported by each other as we grow in our sense of self, with the space held with love and understanding  by Sa and Claudio.

PAM

After the Foundation Cycle
Life changing!

After the Deepening Cycle
My world seems bigger now, more connected with everything. As I clear myself I see more of everything else; there are new tools in my life and a new understanding of my own presence here on earth.
