Dates and Cost

The total course cost, including all 5 modules, accommodation and food, is 42000 Norwegian kroner. It is assumed students will attend all 5 modules.

Location, Accommodation, Food

The 5 modules are fully residential at our site on the west side of Norway, overlooking the magnificent Sognefjord.

Accommodation is in our comfortable farmhouse set in a large expanse of garden and forest land and overlooking the fjord. All meals are cooked and served to you. If fish is served, it is fresh, wild fish from the fjord here, otherwise meals are primarily vegetarian.

Our dedicated group training room is heated and spacious as well as being close to the house and facilities. The room is kept physically and energetically clean.

Group Size

We are interested in those who are determined, motivated and engaged, rather than large numbers of people. The course will be taught in a small group (maximum 6 people).

We are a small school and have no intentions to grow bigger. For this reason, we are delighted to be able to offer you personal attention as and when you need it. Your trainer can be contacted directly, even between modules, and will answer you personally, often fairly quickly. We have a network of practitioners who can offer extra mentoring if you feel it would benefit you. We are also keen to support shamanic practitioners who have successfully completed the course, with a reasonable level of advice freely available.

Requirements

Places are offered only to applicants who sincerely declare themselves committed, determined people who can work well in a diverse group, who respect each other and who will honour the work. We are looking for people who are serious about the process, who are motivated and highly likely to complete the whole of the course. Applicants must be willing to fully complete all modules of the course and also to engage in homework. Please apply only if you feel sure you will be suitable according to the qualities we seek.

It is not important for you to have experience with shamanic techniques before starting the course as long as you have a genuine interest and are committed to engaging in the work and doing your best.

Each module starts on a Wednesday evening and is completed on the following Sunday afternoon. Our work days generally begin at 09:00 and often include evening sessions. Breaks are, of course, given.

Homework will be given based around methods and techniques that you learn during our work together.

Getting Here

If you accepted on the course, we will send you details of how to get here and we will be very happy to guide you with travel plans from wherever you set off from. The school is easy to get to by car or bus. Buses stop directly outside the school.

Considerations that should be made before applying

We do not operate a “pay and turn up” policy. We take care to form groups that are likely to benefit from each others dedication to the work. Selection of students for each intake is based on information given on application forms and their declaration to commit to the work and give it as much priority as they reasonably can.

This training is designed to give comprehensive education into known and accepted methods of shamanic practice. Successful completion of the course will arm the aspirant with a full range of classical techniques that can be deployed for the well-being of clients experiencing a range of maladies.

Applicants must consider the commitment required to engage successfully in this intense training. For completion, each candidate must attend all 5 modules in person at Ytre Sogn, Norway. As well as this, students will be given tasks, homework and practice work outside of the components and some of these will need to be reported in writing for assessment.

A solid coherent group of students is essential and each candidate should accept commitment to the group before applying.

We do not accommodate pets, please make arrangements for their care during the work.
