6-week intro course on shamanic journeying
friday afternoons 4:30pm-6pmpt, $385
learn in a small cohort
hi friends! this short and sweet community course on shamanic journeying strengthens the basic skills of working directly with spirit guides through repeated, enjoyable practice and community circling.
you’ll learn basics that help you expand into deeper revelatory practice, give and receive healings in a kind way, and get more conscious about your purpose and path planetside. we’re relaxed and at home together, and each cohort is a small community in itself.
this is a sweet, lovely circle, designed to be easy on your calendar while planting strong alchemical seeds.
even in a ‘building blocks’ course that meets prerequisites for more advanced work, we’ll be focusing strongly on how you can integrate shamanic healing into your personal life and professional work, in alignment with your purpose earthside. in the dreaming otter’s dream, what you learn here ripples out in a beautiful way, for the benefit of all beings.
journey skills & community
if shamanic journeying is new to you, you can learn how in our free self-paced course shamanic journeying for healers. it takes about a half hour, covers beginning ideas, and provides a framework for you to start having your own adventures in the wondrous unseen worlds with your spirit helpers.
everything begins with your first shamanic journey. with that basic skill in place, you can connect with your helping spirits directly, ask questions, and learn how to perform any kind of healing from your guides. what you learn in circle applies for yourself, and others with their permission.
community is precious and vital – we learn more with each other than we do alone. my funny superpower after teaching this work for 20+ years is putting folks at ease (yep, even online), building community, and helping you have fun and feel at home enough…to do deep, strong work.
prereqs & topics
you’ll need the ability to journey directly to your helping spirits to join us, either through previous study or our free course shamanic journeying for healers.
in circle, we learn through journeying, sharing together, journaling, time in nature, reading books, performing ceremonies, and offering and receiving healings. our weekly topics are:
week 1: foundations & lower worlds
- build trust and friendship with your main spirit helper through short daily journeys (prompts provided, 10m a day)
- adventure in the lower worlds, start mapping them, and find your own healing sanctuary
- homework: intentional time in nature
week 2: welcoming light & upper worlds
- quest for a healing specialist in the upper worlds and meet your ‘higher’ self
- perform a divination journey for someone, and learn how to deliver it with grace
- homework: retrieve a unique way to boost your ‘spiritual immune’
week 3: clearing (the basics)
- meet a clearing specialist helper, and learn what energies you’ve been carrying around
- visit a healing temple with your clearing specialist, and unburden yourself of what doesn’t belong
- homework: clear your physical and energetic space
week 4: filling in (the basics)
- work with your main helper & healing specialist, and receive a direct healing transmission to ‘fill up’
- perform a healing for someone in circle, fill them with light, and deliver a beautiful healing story
- homework: find a new (to you) healing modality…go receive it
week 5: your planetary purpose
- convene a ‘healing counsel’ with the 4 helping spirits you’ve met so far in a special setting
- explore your life path and purpose, and how aligned you are (or aren’t) with it
- homework: perform healings on your ‘life story’ itself, in the context of purpose
week 6: ceremony & weaving it all together
- learn what ceremony is, and how to ‘put yourself out’ and change the shape of creation
- work with your spirits and create a unique ceremony to align with and embody your purpose
- homework: perform your ceremony, and allow it to change you. celebrate YOU.
healer’s note
I believe we’re all healers. we each shine light, and came here planetside to embody a purpose we chose before incarnating. you getting more (consciously) clear about what you’re here to do, working in union with spirit, and ‘waking up’ and ‘being a good whatever you are’ matters.
by the end of our 6 weeks together, you’ll be part of a small and lovely community cohort. you’ll know how to journey to several helping spirits, ask divination questions, perform basic healings and share them with kindness, understand your life purpose better, and call down power to align with it.
may this work serve and delight you, and help you come home to yourself.

‘I have long admired anna’s capacity to be able to gather just the right people together for her circles and shamanic gatherings. with her disarming and unique style of teaching and leading, she immediately guides you to feel that something really special is about to happen.
and then. something really special happens.
she holds sacred circle in a way that is mind blowing: just with her natural charisma and refined intellect guiding us all along with her. people are excited and happy to be in her presence.
she is a very special lady: kind, loving and very giving. if you want to know what a true healer and teacher looks like, look no further than anna dorian.’
