Experience
how does it work?
Our Shamanic Apprenticeship Program is delivered through two back-to-back courses. The first is our two-year long Shamanic Pathworker Course (modules 1 to 7) which introduces you to the shamanic path and deeply heals your mind, spirit, and self. Our Shamanic Practitioner Course (modules 8 to 11) is one year long and prepares you to help others through your shamanic abilities. You can take breaks between modules if you wish. It is important to go at your own pace.
​
Students start their journey with Module 1, which is six months long and provides a thorough introduction to shamanism, an initiation upon the path, and a spiritual rebirth. This introduction prepares you and aligns your soul for all further work on the shamanic path. After Module 1, all remaining modules are each three months long.
​
After the first six months of your studies, you may take on the title of Shamanic Apprentice. This title reflects the dedication and state of ever-growing understanding that you apply to your studies.
​
At the end of our Shamanic Pathworker Course, you will be granted the title of Shamanic Pathworker, acknowledging the profound soul healing and personal transformation you have achieved. A shamanic pathworker is someone who has become a conduit between the worlds, harnessing ancient wisdom and intuitive insights to navigate the realms for personal healing and spiritual grow.
​
After another year of study, you will have all the tools and knowledge necessary to take on the mantle of Shamanic Practitioner. A shamanic practitioner is someone who works tirelessly to apply their knowledge of the spiritual realms and shamanic techniques towards helping others in their community.
​
You will need to set aside about two hours each week for this program. You will dedicate one hour to reading the theoretical teachings and another hour to practicing the shamanic exercises related to the week’s theme. You will the list of materials needed at the bottom of this page.

What you Receive
Weekly Lessons
​
The initial Shamanic Pathworker Course of our Shamanic Apprenticeship Program is 24 months long and composed of 104 detailed lessons.
​
After that, the Shamanic Practitioner Course is 12 months long, with 52 lessons
​
All our lessons are delivered through email. So you never have to remember any login info or deal with clunky e-learning software ever again!
​
In each and every lesson we cover the following:
​
1. In-Depth Theory and Context
​
2. Shamanic Journeying Explorations
​
3. Spirit Work Techniques (ceremonies and offerings)
​
4. Spiritual Receptivity Building Techniques (meditations and intuitive exercises)
​
5. Applications for Personal and Spiritual Growth
​
Each lesson is approximately 20 pages. By the end of the three years of the apprenticeship you will have received a curriculum the length of Twelve trade paperbacks (of 250 pages each). That is quite the textbook!
​
Each lesson includes an Audiobook Version of the Lesson (about 30 minutes long for the average lesson) and a Weekly Guided Trance Journey spoken by the soft and nurturing voice of Laova. These recordings help ensure that you are able to complete your assignments for each week in a relaxed and straightforward manner.
Monthly One-On-One Sessions
​
You will receive a Monthly One-On-One Mentorship Session with your instructor for each month of the program. In these sessions you and your mentor will discuss how you are finding the material, clarify concepts, tackle any blockages, provide advice, and otherwise offer the support you need.
​
Sessions are 60 minutes long and delivered through Zoom. If you feel you don't have time at the moment, you can “bank” these sessions and use them later when you feel ready to move through the course material. You can store banked sessions for up to four years (from when you started the program).
Weekly On-Demand Email Coaching
Over the length of the program, you have access to your instructor through Weekly On-Demand Email Coaching. Each week you can contact your instructor one time and are guaranteed a reply within 48-hours (except for holidays, time off, and sick days). Laova and Eric provide detailed responses that address your questions and provide helpful advice. It is not mandatory that you write to us each week, but you are welcome to! We are here to support you.
Student Forum Access
​
All current students (and alumni) receive access to our Student Forum. The forum contains a community of dedicated spiritual seekers and practitioners who share the goal of improving their connection with the spiritual realms. You will find it to be a supportive and informative environment. Eric and Laova are both active on the forum answering questions and sharing their insights.
Extended Access Upon Completion
​​
When you have completed your final monthly payment for any module, you will be granted with Three Additional Years of Weekly On-Demand Email Coaching from that date forward! For three extra years we will support you with detailed replies and guidance (related to your studies) whenever you contact us. Note: additional coaching is "non-cumulative"; extended access takes effect from the date of your LATEST completed module and continues for three years after that.
​
These three additional years of coaching give you time to move through the material at your own pace. You end up getting a lot of support! And this matters to us, because we want to see our students thrive. We care about seeing what you are going to do with these teachings! And it is our goal to nurture your growth and help you integrate the program’s lessons deeply into your life.
​
Also, when you finish our Shamanic Pathworker Course, you will receive Lifetime Student Forum Access. This will always be your community and "home base" as you walk your shamanic path.
LifeTime Access to Your Course Content
​
With course content delivered directly to your email, you'll have permanent access. In case you lose any lessons, we will happily resend them to the email associated with your membership.
you are our number one priority
As you start your apprenticeship, you'll find that we focus mainly on learning through experiential practice rather than traditional written tests or memorization. We believe in practical experience over dogma and belief.
​
We prioritize your individual needs as a student and believe in providing the freedom to go at your own pace. While this course is designed to be completed in two years, we understand that everyone's journey is unique. Whether you choose to complete the studies within that timeline or opt for a more leisurely approach, the choice is entirely yours.
​
You may work through the course material at a speed that suits you best. If you prefer to take longer, there's no rush. Your monthly meetings with your mentor can be "banked" and saved for later (for up to four years from when you began your studies). After the last month of the program, billing will cease, ensuring that you won't be charged again.
​
In general, a student will dedicate approximately three to four hours per week to reading, practicing, and engaging with the exercises in each lesson. By setting aside one or two evenings each week, you will have ample time to complete your studies within the timeline.
​
Your growth and development as a student are our utmost priority, and we are committed to supporting you every step of the way as you immerse yourself in these teachings and unlock your spiritual potential.
