A weekend of shamanic journeying and power retrieval for Reiki practitioners

An advanced two day workshop in shamanic healing using the Reiki source
£240 including comprehensive training materials

The Reiki Power Retrieval weekend is more than a practitioner level course; it is a unique and transformative healing experience. Drawing on our existing connection with the Reiki source, we will work with some of the foundational principles of contemporary shamanism to expand your seership and spiritual healing capabilities.

This weekend is a doorway into shamanic practice. You will learn the ancient practice of journeying with drums and rattles to bring back information for the highest healing good of your clients (and yourself!), and how to communicate spiritual information skilfully, without causing fear or confusion to the people you serve.

Together we will explore the concept of Power in contemporary shamanism, and I will share the results of my 20 years of continuous study in both Reiki and shamanic practice, combining them for powerful, transformative energy medicine. You will learn to journey through magical landscapes to hunt for lost power and communicate with spiritual allies. By the end of this weekend you will know how to restore Power and vitality to yourself and your clients, and elevate your therapeutic sessions into sacred healing ceremonies.

Prerequisites

No previous experience in any form of shamanic practice is required for this course, however you must be qualified to practitioner level (Reiki 2) at a minimum, as we will be drawing on your meditation and energy healing experience. If you haven’t trained with me before, you will need to send me your Reiki 2 or Reiki Master certificate.

For full information on the course requirements please see the FAQs at the bottom of this page.

FAQs

How much experience do I need to attend this course?
You must be qualified to at least Reiki 2 (practitioner level) and if you did not train with me you will need to send me a copy of your Reiki 2 or Reiki Master certificate. You do not need to be working professionally as a Reiki healer or teacher, but you would benefit from having practiced your healing craft on others before attending, even it’s just friends/families or a private healing circle or share. You do not need to have experience in shamanic practice or journeying to join this course.

What do I need to bring with me?
Please wear comfortable clothes and bring something (a scarf or eye mask) to cover your eyes. Bring a notebook and pen to record your personal journeys (comprehensive notes on the method will be provided to take away with you but it is good practice to record the details of your own work). Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated!
If you have one, you can bring a rattle to assist you in the journeying practice, however it is not necessary and spares will be provided. You won’t need a drum, as you won’t be leading any journeys. We will be working on the ground rather than on treatment tables for the most part, and yoga mats and blankets are provided for this purpose. You can bring your own if you prefer, and there are chairs available if you are uncomfortable sitting on the ground.

What are the lunch arrangements?
On both days there is a 1 hour lunch break in the middle of the day – please bring your own lunch with you. There is a kitchen with a kettle, fridge and oven/hob, with a park opposite if you’d like to get some air. Water and herbal teas are available throughout the day.

Is this venue easily accessible?
There is easy, free parking outside, however please note that the bathroom is upstairs. Please contact me before booking if you have accessibility issues.

Are there contraindications for this kind of shamanic work?
Unlike Reiki, which doesn’t have any proven contraindications, shamanic journeying and visionary work of this nature does cause a slightly altered state of brainwave activity. I have worked with many people who are living with mental health issues such as depression, and in fact Power Retrieval is excellent medicine for such situations. However this sort of visionary work can be problematic for those living with conditions such as schizophrenia or who have a history of psychosis and therefore I cannot accept students with these conditions onto this course. If you have any questions around these kind of issues, please do contact me directly to ask.

Am I able to cancel my booking?
These courses only run twice a year as a rule, and deposits are non-refundable. Wherever possible, your booking will be transferred to the next available date.

Are these courses run in places other than Glastonbury?
At the moment, the Reiki Power Retrieval weekend is only being run in my magical hometown of Glastonbury. However, if you have a group of Reiki people and a venue to invite me to – I love to travel! Please contact me directly to arrange to host me at your own healing centre or festival.

Please note: My in-person trainings are offered throughout the year in a private venue in Glastonbury, Somerset. Courses are kept to a maximum of 4 students to ensure in-depth personal experiences and a high standard of training. On some occasions where the scheduled classes are full or don’t work for you, particularly for pairs or small groups, I can arrange private classes during the week at no extra cost. For all classes a commitment to attendance and to completing the pre-course study is required, please note my terms and conditions before booking.
