Astroshamanism is a holistic system of healing aimed at expanding human perception through the integration of the basic principles of shamanism with experiential astrology, the contemporary revival of archaic mystery traditions and the spirit of the Findhorn Community.

This two-week intensive offers a unique and thorough exposure to shamanic training with a continuity of contact with Franco and his associates. Participants in the training will experience practical tools for opening, discovering and supporting the relationship with their core spiritual identity and essential intent. They will also focus on releasing blocks and retrieving hidden potentials, and will learn to bring shamanic healing work in their life and relationship with others

The training is designed for newcomers as well as for those who wish to consolidate previous experiences with shamanism or related methods. Completion of the training provides a solid basis for more advanced work, and will also allow participants to continue their work autonomously with gained clarity and sense of purpose. The training consists of two workshops, which can also be attended independently.

Advanced week: The Voyage Through The Zodiac

During this second week participants will experience the whole spectrum of astroshamanic and planetary archetypes, retrieving and transforming blocked energies, strengthening the relationship with their multi-dimensional self and life Intent.
