SOUL HEALING:
SHAMANIC SOUL RETRIEVAL TRAINING
Part 1: Understanding the Nature of the Soul
The soul is multifaceted and intricate in its design, with many parts working together to create a whole. Its experiences shape our sense of who we are, our connections with others and the ways we move through life. Learning to understand the soul offers a deeper perspective on the experiences and relationships that have shaped us, and the healing that can help us become more fully ourselves.
The soul’s relationship with other souls is equally complex. A connection may feel familiar from the moment we meet, or carry a depth of love or difficulty that seems greater than our present circumstances can explain. We will explore soul families, twin flames and the many roles we take in one another’s lives, including the shared purpose, karmic patterns and unresolved experiences that may bring us together across lifetimes.
These connections also reach into the unseen worlds, where members of our soul family may support us as spirit guides. The relationship between the soul and the Higher Self, the possibility of simultaneous incarnations and parallel realities, and our connection within one consciousness open a broader discussion of who we are and how much of our experience may exist beyond our everyday awareness.
Within shamanic traditions, soul loss is understood as the separation of a soul aspect, often in response to a painful or overwhelming experience. A part may leave as a means of protection and remain separated long after the circumstances have passed. Soul aspects may also become entangled with others, adding complexity to relationships and to the healing needed for each soul to return to wholeness.
Healing these separations can restore access to qualities and strengths held within those parts of ourselves. Greater wholeness may bring more vitality to our bodies, more freedom in our choices and a greater capacity for love, connection and participation in life. Understanding the soul can also bring compassion to the places where we have struggled, helping us appreciate why healing sometimes needs to reach more deeply than our conscious efforts alone.
Whether you are a healer, regularly work with Spirit or are seeking to understand your own experiences more deeply, this day offers space for teaching, questions and discussion. Together, we will explore the mysteries of the soul from a shamanic perspective and how this understanding can support our personal healing, spiritual development and relationships with others.

Part 2: Shamanic Soul Retrieval Training - Essential Skills & Practice
Part Two moves from understanding the soul into the hands-on practice of shamanic soul healing and retrieval, the process of locating separated soul aspects, facilitating their healing and guiding them back into unity.
The practitioner enters a shamanic state of consciousness and works in close relationship with power animals and helping spirits to understand where soul loss has occurred and how the healing should proceed. Each soul part carries its own experiences and needs, making discernment, strong spirit relationships and the ability to follow guidance essential to this work.
You will learn how to track a client’s soul throughout its lifetimes to discover where a separation occurred and why. We will explore how to approach a soul part, understand the circumstances surrounding its departure and work with your helping spirits to facilitate the healing needed for its return.
We will also work with sacred mantra and other techniques for healing the soul, learning how these practices may support the recovery and restoration of separated soul aspects. Attention will be given to working gently and respectfully, honoring the needs of the soul part and allowing the healing to unfold with the guidance of Spirit.
Just as important as retrieving a soul part is understanding what happens afterward. You will learn how to support your client in welcoming the returning aspect, communicate what is helpful from the journey and offer practical ways to encourage integration. We will explore how changes in daily life may support the healing and help the client develop a conscious relationship with the aspects of themselves that have returned.
Throughout the day, we will place strong emphasis on practitioner preparation, grounding and self-care, as well as consent, clear communication and respect for the client’s experience. We will discuss the importance of recognizing the limits of your experience and when additional support or referral may be appropriate.
This is an experiential training designed for those who are ready to deepen their relationship with helping spirits and develop the skills needed to facilitate soul healing and retrieval for others.
Offered only once each year. Check the Class Schedule for current offerings.
Completion of Part One is required. Students should also have an established foundation in shamanic journeying and experience working with helping spirits or power animals.
