I, Derek, have been teaching shamanic practice for over 22 years and I am an experienced and working shamanic healer / practitioner.  I am happy to guide you through the all aspects of shamanism and the Shamans Quest Practitioner training is now in its 14th year

The Journey:
On the quest journey, the hero sets out to reach their goal, to obtain their treasure, 
accomplishing tasks along the way and then return home with it intact. 

The Shaman, on their epic journey, often with great exertion and struggles along the pathway endeavours to reach a full understanding of his or herself and to complete the quest.

On this journey, we will follow the wheel of the year, from death and rebirth, the verdant new growth to the rich harvest of our souls, exploring shamanic teachings and techniques that have been used for millennia to reach our goals. This is an in depth shamanic course where you will explore and learn in a friendly and fully supported environment. Suitable for novices setting out on their pathway as well as those that would like to explore to a greater depth the inner workings of the world of the shaman.

We will weave our story over four, 4 day sessions, starting in April through to the following February, whilst we follow the growth of the year and of ourselves and explore the journey to reach our goals.  Each session will start on the Friday morning, and ending on the Monday. 

The sessions will comprise practical explorations, teachings, discussions, pair and group work and solitary and shared ceremony. This will be a closed group with limited numbers and you will be required to commit to all of the four sessions with case studies to complete your training for shamanic practitioner’s certification. Alternatively you can attend fully but follow the route of personal shamanic embodiment for your own personal growth without case studies etc. You will be given full group and private support throughout by your teacher, Derek Gane, the assistants, as well as your peer group. 

I have been teaching shamanic practice for over 22 years and happy to guide you through all aspects of shamanism. The Shamans Quest is now in its 14th year and is accredited with I.P.H.M.  There are a fair few shamanic teachers around that teach shamanic practice but I'd say its important to know that your teacher has the experience and understanding of working as a shamanic healer  in an authentic way and with  an ongoing practice.  

This training is held at The Healing Tree Centre in North Cornwall, within 18 acres of beautiful private land and woodlands and we shall spend time connecting both indoors and outside throughout all the seasons.
