Shamanic Skills for End-of-Life Practitioners

This workshop is for all end-of-life practitioners, such as palliative care workers, nurses, soul midwives, 'butterflies', hospice volunteers, doulas, interfaith ministers, etc.

You will learn how to work with basic shamanic tools and processes to gain insights and shift energy. These tools are of practical value and you can keep using them after the workshop in your everyday life.

Important: The workshop develops basic-level skills for your personal use - giving you an additional source of guidance and satisfaction for your work. They are not intended to be used directly on clients or patients (besides the work we do after clients have died).

Goals of the Workshop

• Increase your confidence and strength when working with dying people, their social network and with institutions
• Learn how to protect yourself and your working space in a way that does not drain your energy
  
• Get to know new ways to help souls cross over the sacred threshold in a peaceful way
  
• Create a peer-group of like-minded practitioners who can support each other through shamanic journey work.
