Next Steps in Therapeutic Shamanism:
The Online Courses
After completing the college’s First-Step course, these courses are the next step for those who wish to explore therapeutic shamanism and animism further. The courses focus on exploring the shamanic Lower-World practices in detail, developing a deep connection with Lower-World Guides (including Human, Animal Plant and Stone ones) and finding our own true and authentic Lower-World Soul - the person we are truly meant to be. In doing so, as well as being potentially profoundly healing and life-changing, the courses also help people develop a shamanic practice that is both deeply rooted and grounded.
Like the First-Step course, the Next-Steps courses are usually arranged into one or two online sessions a week, with exercises to practice at home. Courses vary in length, depending on the topic being covered. They run at various times of the year, and are repeated on a regular basis. They can be taken in any order.
The courses are:
Next-Steps 1: Exploring the Lower-World: Hollowing-Out, Human Guides, and the Transformation Practices.
Next-Steps 2: More Explorations in the Lower-World: Extractions, De-possessions, Disentangling, Expansions and Just Being.
Next-Steps 3: The Animal, Plant, Standing and Stone People: How to Be Human and Work With the Other-Than-Human.
Next-Steps 4: Finding Your True Soul: Coming Back to Life.

Entry Requirements. To be accepted on the Next-Step courses you must have done the college’s First-Step course first. We regularly get enquiries from people who have trained in shamanism elsewhere and who want to skip the First-Steps course. From experience however, we have found that this is not a good idea, no matter how much prior experience people have. There are three main reasons for this:
