Celtic Shamanism and Healing Techniques

Celtic Shamanism and Healing Techniques

A seven-week Zoom class, Tuesdays, July 9th through August 20th

Classes are from 7-8:30 PM, Central Time - 90 minutes (trying to avoid Zoom fatigue!). All classes are recorded so you don’t need to attend the classes live (although I hope you do!).


Whether you're new to shamanism, or new to the Celtic approach, or have been at shamanism a long time, this class will offer you a wide array of ideas and practices. This is summer-time program, so we will focus on the energies of the light half of the year: Calling in power and vision, working with the divine masculine (in truth, we will also work with the feminine), and building connection with Celtic spirits, raising confidence and dissipating doubt.


Many Celtic shamanic practices, including shamanic healing practices, are found buried in the old faery tales and myths. We will work with a handful of amazing Celtic stories and the deities and spirits they describe.


You’ll also get a great introduction to a deep and wondrous ancient text that I call “the three cauldrons of the soul.” This text teaches us a Celtic persepctive on regulating the flow of sacred energy through our body. The imagery found in this text is fundamental to healing practices. 


You’ll also learn uniquely Celtic prayers and healing chants, blessings, and some strangely lovely Celtic shamanic practices.


We will use the “shamanic journey” as one method of building personal relationship with Celtic helping spirits and deities. We will use other methods as well, but I mention journeying in case you are unfamiliar with it. My Guide to the Shamanic Journey is offered for free on the class private web page.


This class is intended to bring you beauty, mystery, awe, and fun. This material can be extremely potent for personal spiritual development, and if you are interested in shamanic healing, this class will deliver ideas and practices that you can put into your work as a healer.


Students will have access to a private web page with writings, web resources, books, instructional videos, and audios (meditations, prayers, healing and blessing chants, and journey ideas).

The Celtic shamanic tradition has a great blessing-curse: The tradition is fragmented (some would say “shattered”) and blended with the many different invading peoples over millennia. The traditions were passed down orally, meaning a vast amount of original wisdom vanished. The writings that do exist were heavily doctored by Roman and Christian biases. We can see all of this as tragic, but it is the reality. The blessing is that shamanic practice doesn’t come entirely from old writings and practices. It is always renewed by Spirit and by our own sincere, disciplined, ethical commitment to be birthers of useful and beautiful wisdom into the world.


I am helped in this by my 30+ years of study of various shamanic traditions, including these recent nine years working with indigenous teachers in Peruvian Amazon jungle – something, that, surprisingly helped me boost my understanding of the Celtic world.
