Learning The Way Of The Shamanic Practitioner

By Karen Miller


When it comes to spirituality, there are a number of different ideologies and religious beliefs. In addition, there are also a number of spiritual paths. One in particular, which is often lesser known though quite popular with followers is that of the Shamanic Practitioner. While there are many who do not believe in Shamanism, there are far many more who practice whether individually or as part of a circle group.

Anyone involved in the practice of shamanism is a practitioner whether teacher or student. For, the path involves the aspect of journeying into unknown realms of the universe through drumming and other spiritual activities such as ecstatic dance, etc.

While the practice is an alternative, it is often considered to be part of the occult. However, nothing could be further from the truth. For, Shamanism is one of the oldest spiritual paths and practices known to man. In fact, it is one of the most ancient spiritual paths and practices known to exist.

One such foundation is that of the The Foundation For Shamanic Studies which is a non-profit and charitable organization tied in with the public school system. The organization is dedicated to the teaching, study and preservation of Shaman spirituality through studies to help aid in the welfare of people and the planet.

The organizational website offers a great deal of information on the practice. In addition, there are several workshops offered which focus on different areas of life. Whether becoming more creative, or better understanding death and beyond, these workshops are often useful in helping overcome a number of obstacles in life.

The foundation offers a variety workshops based in the Shamanic tradition. Some of these are focused on creativity while others are focused on everything from soul extraction healing to death and beyond. As such, there is basically something for everyone when it comes to the plethora of workshops offered by the organization. While there are also individuals offering classes in this tradition, it is often advised that interested parties do a background check before working one-on-one with anyone portraying oneself as a teacher in this tradition.

When it comes to news, articles and research, the foundation has a great deal of information available through a link on the organizational website. Individuals can also join the circle or renew membership on the site. Once having joined the circle, individuals receive a free MP3 download of spiritual gurus Ram Dass and Michael Harner with a dialogue and discussion related to the path. For those who join, there are also group podcasts and website offerings offered a few times of year in which only members can participate.

In the MP3 which accompanies all levels of membership, two teachers, Ram Dass and Michael Harner provide a dialogue and discussion about the practice. In addition, each reveals a great deal of information about past and present experiences as student and teacher. As such, new members can gain a great deal of insight as to what to experience once becoming a Shaman.
