Selection of students for each intake is based on information given on application forms and applicant declaration to commit to the work, including (excepting genuine emergencies) attending all modules and talks. Our groups size is small, with maximum 6 students, so strong commitment from each student is of utmost importance.
There are 5 taught modules. Modules 1,2,3,5 are at the school in Ytre Sogn, Module 4 is a group “field trip” in south eastern Norway (exact location not yet decided).
There are 4 online talks. Each online talk is approximately 2 hours long and take place on Sunday afternoons (Norwegian time zone).

Looking at and experiencing the world from multiple dimensions is not the same as looking at and experiencing the world from the viewpoint of materialism.
We do not have to settle for narrow or superficial viewpoints and can avoid being steered in non-beneficial or destructive ways that disregard Gaia, her beings and Natural Intelligence.
Within a central theme of Animism, we explore, experience and develop strong, controlled, ways of multi-dimensional seeing. Practicing in gentle, respectful ways, Nature can emerge as a visible face of Spirit, with the language of the Soul becoming more available, easier to understand and capable of transformational healing for ourselves and the world around us.
Sending out clear, strong, signals, we can communicate pure intentions to support beneficial energies and to become co-creators of new (remembered) harmonies with Gaia.
Moving towards fuller connections, we work with a model of awakening, empowering and nourishing, in an understanding of symbiotic relationships between ourselves and Nature.
Practicing in multi-dimensional ways, we can take steps respectfully towards Nature. With our personal pledge and commitment, Nature will step gracefully towards us. The future can look brighter and we can become compassionate caretakers of immediate environments, as well as worthy ancestors for the next generations and beyond.
It seems fair to say that every society in human history had both beneficial and non-beneficial ways of being. But, perhaps the wise within societies were, and are, able to recognise the most healthy, wholesome and harmonious features for humans, non-humans and the Earth which we all inhabit.
Wisdom and beneficial ways of being are not era-dependent, nor are they tied to any specific culture or belief system. So, we reach into temporal realms of ancestors – past times – while honouring our current cultures – present times – and working for generations yet to come – future times.
This course covers a range of methods and techniques needed for effective healing practices, promoting harmony and balance as a person navigates across the landscape of life. We engage in strong, powerful activities to encourage transformational inner work and strong, beneficial connections with environments. You will be able to use these tools with clients, family, friends, places, animals, Nature and yourself.
We work with energy, or power. By creating safe “containers”, our work can be done with confidence and stability. For the practitioner, this can become surprisingly easy to achieve and allows us to become “architects” of very effective energy work designed to benefit ourselves, others, and Nature.
Our physical senses are beautifully tuned to navigate around in the physical world, but when we choose to work in partnership with benevolent, compassionate spirit energies, there is a need to “see” in wider, multi-dimensional, ways. There are excellent activities, exercises and practices that can bring out and develop skills of attuning to unseen aspects that are usually unavailable to the physical world senses.
When a person chooses to intentionally interact with spirits, elemental beings, and so on, there emerge important responsibilities. We need to learn, understand and respect how unseen forces of all kinds affect us, other beings, Nature and environments. The practitioner is responsible for safely managing situations that might be seen as “out of the ordinary” and to ensure their work results in only beneficial outcomes.
Being in partnership with “spirit”, a practitioner limits the use of their own personal power by borrowing power from divine, infinite sources. We ensure such power is of compassionate, loving, healing, guiding sources by forming personal relationships with our own spirit guides (or allies). Often, these allies engage in specific jobs, such as protection, soul retrieval, and so on.
A desirable state to achieve is that of balance, where positive (or beneficial) energies are at least as active as negative (or non-beneficial) energies. Negative energy obscures or inhibits access to and expression of the True Self – the archetypical pattern of the essence. It could be said that a person or place would greatly benefit from having more “blessings” than “curses”. We learn how to locate and safely deal with negative energy intrusions and to ensure they are replaced by positive energy, that which serves a person or place.
Shamans understand that highly charged and challenging events, such as traumatic experiences, result in fragmentation of the soul. This can be in relation to humans, non-humans and nature. A part, or parts, of a beings soul splits off…. this is know as “soul loss” to the shamanic practitioner. We learn and practice tried, tested and effective methods so that lost soul parts can be located and returned to the being, allowing it to become more whole again.
In this work, a ritual is viewed as a sacred action, with intention, to create a bridge between mundane (e.g. physical) and divine (e.g. spiritual) realms, thus bringing or amplifying divine power to the intention. Our working model of a ceremony includes honouring, expressing gratitude, celebrating and acknowledging compassionate forces. We learn how to design and implement rituals and ceremonies in partnership with “Spirit” (as animating force working to benefit humans, animals, other-than-human beings and Nature) as we ask for compassion, blessings, healing, etc.
As human beings, we live in the physical realm. Elemental beings generally live in realms within, or at the borders of elements of air, earth, water or fire. One role of some elemental beings is to provide and maintain expressions of the Earth Goddess, Gaia. The forms in Nature we see, or witness, are dependent on the work of elemental beings. As human beings, we can support the work of these beings and, thereby, support Gaia. We learn and practice powerful ways of interacting with elemental beings, finding out how we can best support them, and carrying out work that benefits Nature and future generations.
If we consider the threshold between the seen (physical) and unseen (spiritual) realms, as a kind of “veil”, a useful model, or description, becomes available. In places of high spiritual concentration, it can be said “the veil is thin”. Upon spirit roads and in so called “power places”, there can be effects as spirit energies flicker back and forth across the veil. This can be disruptive for some people if they live or are near to such places, but they can also be places of significant insight, vision or healing for the trained practitioner.
In shamanism, it is understood that the soul is eternal and seperates from the physical body when a person dies. Sometimes, for various reasons, a soul that has departed the body can become stuck, or lost – that is, not able to find its way “home”. Trained practitioners can choose to intentionally meet lost souls and be of service by offering guidance, so they can move to their onward destination.
