Shamanic Healing for Body Workers with Gerry Starnes

Part One – Saturday, January 28 and Sunday, January 29, 2012
Part Two – Saturday, February 4 and Sunday, February 5, 2012

This hands-on, experiential workshop series is specifically designed to enhance the practice of those currently in the healing profession, including body workers, nurses, medical practitioners, and others trained in physical healing practices.

Shamanism is not a religion, nor is it a specific set of practices. It is a way of being in the world based on tens of thousands of years of human experience. All healing has its roots in shamanic practice.

Program Description
The first weekend addresses shamanic energy healing and its integration with your current practice. You will leave the first workshop with tools and techniques you can apply immediately. If you choose to continue, the second weekend workshop addresses soul loss and soul retrieval.

Part One includes discussion, dialog, and practical application of fundamental techniques
* What is shamanic healing?
* What are Power Animals and how are they helpful?
* Healing in the Four Realms
* Curses and Curse Healing

Part Two includes discussion, dialog, and experience of advanced techniques
* What is Soul Loss and how is it identified?
* Soul Retrieval

You can attend only Part One, the Basics, if you choose. Attendance to Part One is required for registration to Part Two, Advanced work.

Comments from previous participants in the workshop

“The workshop for body workers was an amazing experience. I feel very passionate about this path and Gerry provides a safe learning environment. The material presented has already transformed the way I work. I am very grateful that this class has been offered.”
– Kelly McCann (Rolfing, Cranio-Sacral)

“Gerry has a gentle yet powerful way of conveying all the subtle and not-so-subtle aspects of Shamanic healing practices. He provides clear wisdom plus practical guidance through hands-on experiences, so you leave prepared to begin working with the tools on your own, with access to his continued refinement if desired. For those interested in broadening their knowledge, wisdom and understanding of more energy-based healing practices, this workshop will serve you well. I highly recommend it!”
– Cecilia Zuniga, Ph.D. (Yoga Teacher, Counselor)
