The Way of the Shaman Workshop in Scotland
This is a rare opportunity to be introduced to The Way of the Shaman by Simon Buxton of The Sacred Trust. Simon delivers the workshop on behalf of The Foundation for Shamanic Studies, the foremost core-shamanic training organisation in the world, directed by Dr Michael Harner.
The workshop introduces participants to core-shamanism – the universal and near-universal basic methods of the shaman to enter non-ordinary reality for 
problem solving, well being and healing. During this experiential weekend workshop, particular emphasis will be placed on the classic shamanic journey, one of the most remarkable visionary methods used by mankind to explore the hidden universe; otherwise known mainly through myth and dream.
Participants will be initiated into shamanic journeying, aided by drumming and movement techniques for experiencing the shamanic state of consciousness and for awakening dormant spiritual abilities and connections with Nature.
Participants are provided with methods for journeying to discover their own individual spiritual helpers and teachers in non-ordinary reality and to study with them, a classic step in shamanic practice. They will also learn how the journey can be utilised to restore spiritual power and health, and how shamanism can be applied to contemporary daily life to help oneself, others and the Earth. Practices include comparisons by participants of their discoveries and experiences, as well as introductory training in shamanic healing and divination.
"Simon Buxton is a brilliant teacher, bringing a great deal of heart and integrity to this work.
I am delighted that Simon is teaching in Britain for The FSS”
