Shamanism

The Way of Medicine

Nurture your unique medicine gifts on your path to becoming a healer.

“Shamanism is a state of awareness, the ability to use energy fields that are not employed in perceiving the everyday-life world that we know.” – Carlos Castaneda

Personal Shamanic Training with Nangaku

These private training sessions are a unique opportunity to learn various shamanic practices. It is recommended for you to plan for ongoing weekly or monthly personalized training sessions. The first session would engaged to discern where your particular inclination lies in the realm of shamanic practices: Dreamwork; Divination; Rituals; Healing; Intuition; The Medicine Wheel; Myths; Spirit Work etc..

Once on your path of self-exploration, individualized training and practices will be offered to you in which you will be guided to acknowledge, affirm and nurture your unique gifts on your path to becoming a healer.

My 17 year old daughter and I recently attended a BEZA shamanic retreat. We had no idea what to expect. Ultimately we were absolutely blown away by the experience which has had the most phenomenal effect on our relationship. In my wildest dreams I wouldn’t have expected such a positive and far reaching outcome.
My daughter had chronic stomach pains due to stress. We spent a fortune on diagnoses during the last 18 months and since we’ve returned 3 weeks ago, she hasn’t had any pain whatsoever.
I went to the retreat with an often angry and chronically stressed teen. I returned with a calm, happy, positive and loving daughter. Through the teachings, she was able to access her inner wisdom and felt seen and heard while she was there. I highly recommend you attend one of the BEZA’s shamanic healing retreats!
