Astroshamanism is a system of healing aimed at expanding human perception through integrating basic principles of shamanism with experiential astrology, the western mystery traditions and the spirit of the Findhorn community.

This two-week intensive offers a unique and thorough exposure to shamanic training and gives continuity of contact with the workshop focalisers. You can experience practical tools for opening, discovering and supporting the relationship with your core spiritual identity and essential intent, while releasing blocks and retrieving hidden potential.

The training is designed for newcomers as well as for those who wish to consolidate previous experiences with shamanism or related methods, and bring shamanic healing work into life and relationships with others. Completion of the training provides a solid basis for more advanced work. The training consists of two workshops which can also be attended independently.


Basic week: A Journey Into the Inner Universe
21st - 27th February 2009

This workshop focuses on the clarification of life intent and connection with your spirit guide. Participants are trained in working with basic astroshamanic techniques for expanding perception and reawakening authentic purpose.

The programme includes astroshamanic voyages, trance dance, totemic postures, circle positioning, astrodrama, ceremonial sharing, planetary chants, the ritual of the Sacred Cone and various opportunities for integrating shamanic work with ordinary reality.

Advanced week: The Voyage Through the Zodiac
28th February - 6th March 2009

During this week participants experience the whole spectrum of astroshamanic archetypes, retrieving and transforming blocked energies, strengthening the relationship with their multidimensional self and life intent.

This workshop is designed for people who intend to employ shamanism both for themselves and in their practice with others. The Basic week, or another one-week workshop with Franco, is a prerequisite for attendance.
