SHAMANISM

Change Your Story - Change Your Life

The more I talk to people, the more I’m reminded of how many want to make changes in their lives.

  • I know from personal experience, change isn’t a one-time event, it’s a series of small actions taken over time.

  • But how do you know what those actions need to be?

  • Picture in your mind how you would like your life to be, and I’ll show you how to get there.

  • That is what these workshops are about…sharing the power of knowledge.

What is The Shamans Mirror?

It’s an online teaching platform serving people interested in Core Shamanism.

“Improve your thoughts, improve your life.”

What is Core Shamanism?

It’s the collective wisdom from earliest humankind who were inspired by the natural world.

The Shamans Mirror leads workshops on the rapidly growing interest in Core Shamanism, a Western interpretation of ancient shamanism, researched and written by the renowned anthropologist Dr. Michael Harner Ph. D.

It’s a way of re-examining the thoughts that drive our lives, through a guided, and structured series of online interactive workshops.

What are prople saying about these workshops? 

  • Check out the testimonials throughout the site from past students.

WHY IT MATTERS

We become the stories we tell ourselves…what if they’re all made up?

  • Thoughts are memories, that become images, that become words, that become feelings, that grow into emotions.

  • Change your thinking, change your outcome. Allow your curiosity to draw you in a whole new direction.

  • This could be the beginning to a more inspiring, and authentic you.

  • That’s what is at the heart of this series of live online workshops: The Shamanic Journey: Pathway to Knowledge & Power.

THE BIG PICTURE

Times are changing, and we sometimes find ourself looking for answers to questions, we can’t put into words.

  • We’re all looking for something more, something better, it’s what makes us human.

  • Looking creates hope, and hope keeps us inspired, and this inspiration we hope, will lead us to something better.

  • Life is a journey of self-discovery, if you don’t do it with intension it passes you by, without you ever knowing your full potential.

THE BOTTOM LINE

The thought of change can leave us feeling exposed, and insecure.

  • That’s when we’re tempted to fall back on what we’ve always done…because it’s familiar.

  • The first step is always the hardest, but once taken, they get easier.

  • Be open…trust…make a friend of the unfamiliar. Soon enough, it will become familiar.

What a fabulous eye-opening experience…each class built beautifully on the previous one…

SHAMANISM:
YOUR PATH TO A BETTER FUTURE

Core Shamanism is the wisdom that defines our inner knowing. A set of values that helps bring order to the modern World, and our connection to others.

  • Like yoga and meditation, it derives from ancient wisdom that offers guidance, and comfort from the challenges of everyday life.

  •  Core shamanism is a Western interpretation of the ancient shamanic teachings, by renowned anthropologist, Dr. Michael Harner Ph.D.

  • He subsequently went on to create the Foundation for Shamanic Studies, a non-profit public Charitable and Educational Organization, in California, dedicated to the study, teaching, and preservation of shamanic knowledge throughout the World.
