Journey of the Soul Shamanic Studies Program Exploring the
Teachings and Healing Arts of Shamanism
with
Donna M. Callaghan,
BA, CHT
Shamanic Practitioner/Teacher
Founder
Journey of the Soul
is a compilation of
Shamanic classes dedicated to bringing shamanic spiritual
practices and healing modalities into the 21st Century, encompassing teachings from
the basics of journeying to advanced shamanic
healing techniques.
Throughout time, Shamanism
has been a way of life which teaches us to walk in both worlds,
combining earthly traditions and spiritual practices. Shamanic Journeying is a way to access
information and healing for ourselves and others as well
as for the
betterment of the Earth and Her people. It expands our
knowledge and opens a Sacred Space within which invites
Spirit to teach us and help us "remember" the Journey of
Our Soul.
Each class is a combination of lecture and journeys
to work with the information being presented. Students gain an
in-depth knowledge of the class material and they also experience
the healing techniques first hand.
Level I and II are offered as a two year program. Level I
classes encompass the foundation of Shamanism and Level II consists
of in-depth Shamanic techniques and healing modalities. Level III
is for those wanting to delve deeper into Shamanic healing and
further their skills as a Shamanic Practitioner. Certificates of
completion are awarded for Level II, the Internship Program and each
class in Level III.
Individuals begin this journey for many different reasons,
their
own personal healing,
a call to remember,
a desire to be in
community
and/or to become a shamanic practitioner.
Whatever it is that calls you to this
path,
it will change your life and feed your soul.
Plants and animals are invaluable teachers. They live in harmony with
nature, the rhythms and cycles of life and in communion with Mother
Earth. We will be journeying into the knowledge and healing medicine of
plants and animals by working with live plants and animal hides to
gently learn from these unconditional teachers.

6:30 to 9:30 pm
This
class is based on the book, Medicine for the Earth, How to Transform
Personal and Environmental toxins by Sandra Ingerman.
We as a people have been out of balance for many years. Our World is
calling for Peace, Harmony and Balance. Mankind has lived life doing,
using and building in the name of progress much of the time without
regard for the Earth. As a result we have created environmental toxins
which are threatening the Earth. We have also moved away from our
innate connection with the natural cycles and rhythms of life creating
personal toxins (emotional, physical and mental pains and illnesses)
which feeds our illusion of separateness from Spirit.
Together
we will journey deep within the elements, nature,
and her cycles as well as our personal connection with Divinity.
Through strengthening these relationships we will learn to transform our
personal toxins and in turn transform the toxins in the World. Participants will also be taking part in a powerful water
ceremony as it is time to believe in Miracles once again!

these awe inspiring teachers.

Level II Trainings
Shamanism
helps us to view living out of balance, whether it demonstrate itself as
depression, anxiety, addictions, abuse, sorrow and/or illness, from a
spiritual understanding. Whenever we experience a difficulty in
our lives which separates us from our
Divinity, an imbalance (spiritual,
emotional and/or physical) is created. This imbalance, being out
of harmony, impedes our ability to be present in our life and opens us up to dis-ease on all levels of our
being. The following healing modalities are utilized to return
balance and harmony to ourselves and in-turn our world.
Thursday Evenings 7
sessions -
Fall of 2012 6:30 to 9:30 pm
Simply put, a Shamanic Practitioner, is either unclogging and/or
extracting energy or returning soul energy to one’s beings in order to
restore harmony and balance.
Extraction techniques are utilized in this process of removing energetic
blockages, intrusions and attachments we have collected throughout our
life, which hold us back from clear thoughts, being present in our
relationships, manifesting our dreams, and realizing our true selves.
During this 7 session class you will learn a wide variety of extraction
modalities.
Death & Dying
Prerequisite: Extraction & Soul Retrieval
Thursday Evenings 6
sessions - January of 2013 6:30 to 9:30 pm
We live in a society which has become afraid of
dying and live in a time where there are many violent deaths.
During these challenging times, a soul can have difficulty in transitioning
from this world to the next. By learning
about death and how to help souls cross over, we offer one of the
most sacred and holy services to our world.
Spirit of Trauma
Healing Generational Trauma
Prerequisite: Extraction
Thursday Evenings
4
sessions - Spring of 2013 6:30 to 9:30 pm
Generational trauma affect us more than we imagine. The trauma of
our ancestors is passed down in the hopes of being healed but it
attaches to similar trauma we carry in our lifetime. When it
attaches, it locks in place to insure its own healing, which forces us
to heal the pain of our ancestors before we can bring healing to our own
lives. This simple and powerful healing modality heals 7
generations back and 7 generations ahead clearing our genetic lines.
Thursday Evenings
7
sessions - Fall of 2013
6:30 to 9:30 pm
Soul loss is an innate survival technique to protect us from all types of traumatic
experiences throughout our lifetime. When a piece of our soul, a
quality of one's self, leaves and is unable to return on its own,
we can manifest depression, inability to move forward and powerlessness.
This phenomenal healing technique changes lives by helping to return
balance and restore one's ability to create their life.
Walking in
both worlds is the culmination of living each day connected to
Divinity, walking in beauty, being present in our relationship to all
things and incorporating this sacred knowledge into our daily lives. We
will be working with song, silence, community and nature to help
illuminate this aspect of shamanism.
Clearing the Path Training
Prerequisite: Soul Retrieval, Death & Dying
