Shamanic Apprenticeship Training
New Class forming September 25, 2010
A Two Year Apprenticeship Program Facilitated by Sally Joyce
In Southwestern Ontario
This training involves eight life-changing meetings, one weekend each season for two years. You will experience the ways of nature and spirit and remember that we are all interconnected. At the end of the two years you will embody a well-rounded understanding of Shamanism and be able to walk your path with ancient tools in your toolbox and know how to use them in our contemporary world. You will also have a better sense of who you are and why you were born at this time.
