TeleClass: Question & Answer Sessions. Ongoing classes.

Staff members will answer questions about problems students came across while doing their 'dirt time', with clarification of the workshop material as requested. The initial topic will be on effective diagnosis. There may be a lecture from time to time, if we sense from the questions that there is a topic that needs a more thorough address. In such a case, we will publish the lecture's topic ahead of time on the WHH list, for people who would like to listen to it.

Samsara Salier in Australia is holding a question and answer (Q&A) session on Monday November 24 for all Basic and Certified graduates at 5PM Sydney. You can call email her at . Cost is $20AUD and will be billed by PayPal. The Skype address is +9900827046314016.

Shamanism and Peak States: Awareness - the Journey of the Healer
Taught by Wes Gietz

‘Awareness is the doorway to the world of spirit’ Stalking Wolf

This course is designed primarily for graduates of ISPS training to teach them the shamanic power and techniques of native healers. As Wes points out in his chapter in Peak States of Consciousness Volume 2, giving people tools to rapidly transform themselves without the years of self mastery and practice required of more traditional methods is potentially a problem. It is also a limiting factor for those wanting to go onto advanced ISPS training as the ability to navigate alternate dimensions and ways of seeing might not have been developed.

A variety of Native American techniques will be used in the training to support the development of the healer. In particular an expanded sense of physical awareness will be used to transition from physical to spiritual awareness. In so doing, participants will create their own ‘good medicine’ place.

Wes has studied and practised natural skills and beliefs for over forty years, with pauses as required by the necessities of love and life. He has been taught by Tom Brown Jr. and Native teachers the skills of survival and living, awareness, and philosophy, the ceremonies of daily life, and the ceremonies and responsibilities of the sweat lodge. He honors them by using these ways and keeping them for the generations yet to be born, and has taught them in workshops and at gatherings since 1993. He also worked extensively in the early days with Grant developing ISPS techniques.
