"Oftentimes we simply need a safe, sacred & honest space to unpack and rewrite our story, inclusive of our unique medicine"
Charlotte Gush
Shamanism could be described as Animism in practice; both have been present within the hearts, souls, and communities of mankind since the beginning. There was a time when these terms didn’t exist as there was no need to define as different, a way of being that was simply normal life.
What is a shamanic way of life?
In current Western culture our animistic roots were severed and burned millennia ago. We have strayed far from the path of living in right relationship with the planet, losing connection, meaning and the sacred nature of ourselves and our host. Yet ancestral memory of richer times exists in our very cells. Approaching these memories, the shamanic way, enables us to begin to rebuild not only connection, health, and respect for the Earth but also the role of medicine women and men in modern societies.
At Shamanic Way we work to awaken and regenerate the innate intuitive nature, rediscover trust & connection and embody personal medicine, enabling us to live differently, work differently, heal differently, and die differently with Earth stewardship at our core and consciousness as our forever teacher. To immerse yourself in this way of being is what we offer to you as our Shamanic Apprenticeship.
Our Offering
Our Shamanic Apprenticeship goes beyond simple training techniques or adopting a set of pious new ‘spiritual rules to live by,’ but rather, energetic initiations into a powerful medicine lineage which enable you to live as your true self – ever evolving. We provide 1-2+ years of fully supported deep dives into the shamanic worlds – focusing on YOU and YOUR healing as you embark on a life-long journey of becoming yourself, all within an eons-tested shamanic framework!
Shamanic
Framework
Origin
These ancient teachings, held in safe keeping for centuries by the Q’ero of the Peruvian Andes have, for the last few decades, been shared with Westerners. Why? Because these beautiful wisdom keepers believe that it is the younger brothers and sisters (Westerners) that are in most need of this knowledge now. The Inca Prophecy shares that we live in an age that the Q’ero call the ‘Taripay Pacha’ meaning ‘the age in which we meet ourselves again’.
Supported by prophetic guidance and ancestral blessings, we are to re-remember who we really are, re-weave the medicine basket as our own and to live and share accordingly.

I wish I had found out about this apprenticeship sooner. I’m happier than ever. Restlessness, fear, panic... all vanished. It feels like a huge toolbox with everything I need in it. My trust in life and myself is back.
”Learning for life” on a whole new meaning.

You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles.
Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. "
