Sandra Ingerman’s 2025-2026 Professional Shamanic Teacher Training (Course is Closed)
Back in the late 1990’s Isis asked me to start seeding local communities with really well trained teachers. She said a time would come when people would not be able to travel, and we needed good teachers and practitioners who could serve their local communities.
I have been seeding our communities with well trained teachers to save people the expense of having to travel to distant workshops. We need to create a way to get information out to a broader audience so we can help change the current level of consciousness in the world.
In this training I will cover issues and questions that come up when teaching groups, help participants design workshops, and I will share new adaptations to the work that will speak to our world community and work with present- day issues and problems.
We will also use shamanic journeying and ceremonies to work through the egoic traps that many teachers fall into when they take on the role of teacher and help work through blocks that prevent us from being as creative as is our birthright.
In this course participants are trained to teach:
Shamanic Journeying
Extraction
Five Day Soul Retrieval Training
Psychopomp work as well as a working with people who are facing death.
Medicine for the Earth
Healing with Spiritual Light
How to teach and lead ceremonies in workshops
This is my last Teacher Training. I am only looking for people who want to teach direct revelation and who want to be listed on www.shamanicteachers.com. If this is not your wish and if your background is not primarily practicing direct revelation please this is not the training for you. I teach old time shamanism and only teach the work of direct revelation and working in the Lower World, Middle World, and Upper World. Experience working in all three worlds is required.
This is a professional training not just a workshop. I have kept the tuition much lower than others would charge for this opportunity. Room and board prices at retreat centers are high these days, which I have no control over. Please calculate your costs and see if this is realistic for you. I have been teaching for 44 years. And I expect this will be a life path for you too.
This training will give you a way of being in service and being able to teach and see clients for the rest of your life. So this is a training that will benefit you for life not just for a short period. And obviously this is going to need a commitment on every level.
There are very strict prerequisites for this course as great teachers teach from his or her experience. Therefore, I will only be accepting applications from people who have already completed workshops and are practicing all the work shared in this course.
Please only apply to the course if you have completed all the prerequisites.
You need to have taken the following courses as well as have the practice using the material:
Shamanic Journeying
Shamanic Extraction
Five Day Soul Retrieval Training with someone listed on www.shamanicteachers.com authorized to teach it.
Psychopomp work
Medicine for the Earth and Healing with Spiritual Light
Also you need to be seeing clients.
In the application you will be asked to list the courses you completed, as well as who you studied with, and you will be asked to describe your practice with clients and how many clients you see a week. For you can’t teach shamanism without a healthy healing practice. You need to be seeing clients for at least 6 months.
Those who took all prerequisites with someone listed on shamanicteachers.com will have preference on enrolling into the course.
You will need to send 3 case studies on your work with soul retrieval for a client, two case studies of your extraction work, and one case study of your psychompomp work. The format for what I ask for with case studies is specified in the application.
If I have questions about your application an interview will be set up. I am not just looking for participants trained in shamanism I am looking for emotionally mature participants who have done a lot of personal work on themselves and lead a deep spiritual life and can deal with all types of challenges that can come up in a workshop.
We we will meet twice a year for two years at the Chi Center in Galisteo, New Mexico outside of Santa Fe. The dates are:
April 20-25 2025
September 14-19 2025
April 19-24 2026
September 13-18 2026.
All the sessions are five days and begin Sunday night with dinner and end Friday at noon and lunch is served after.
Participation is required for all four meetings in order to complete the teacher training.
You might be asked to teach a workshop on your own before completing the training. And once accepted to the website you can only be listed if you submit workshops to our webmaster Sylvia Edwards that you have scheduled.
Participants who have completed all four sessions will be eligible to be listed on www.shamanicteachers.com. You will be able to list workshops that I’ve trained you to teach as well as you can list unique and creative workshops you have designed that have to do with shamanism.
Cost: Tuition is $750 for each five day session. Room and board charges will be based on the type of room you stay in and the final number of people in the class. For planning purposes, use $1400. Due to contractual obligations, all fees for the four sessions are non-refundable.

THIS COURSE IS NOW CLOSED.
I am teaching a new 7-week online course for the Shift Network on A Shaman’s Approach to Death as a Rite of Passage beginning January 7. This course is modified from the course I have trained teachers to teach on death as a rite of passage. I won’t teach psychopomp work as it is not appropriate for a large online course with students who have no background in shamanism. People do need to have a connection with a helping spirit.
But this will be such a beautiful course for shamanic journeyers, hospice workers, death doulas, and anyone who fears death or wants to understand what happens when we die.
This course is for individuals to understand death, how to resolve unfinished business with loved ones, those of you who want to learn how to use spiritual practices to care for a loved one or a client dying, how to perform honorable closure and memorial ceremonies, and how to work with grief.
We will also be visiting Earth, Air, Water, Fire, the Sun, lightning, and other nature beings to learn about their perception of death.
And of course, every change we go through in life is seen as a death. And we are facing big changes NOW!
This course also teaches how to work with humans, pets, plants, and other nature beings.
I have been teaching this course since the early 1990s. I am just leaving out psychopomp work. So many people would tell me I have no idea why I signed up for the course, but months and years later tell me how valuable it was.
We are sung into this world, and we are sung out of this world. We travel through the darkness and into the light. The process of dying is so beautiful as we follow the River of Life. By trying to stay here past our natural cycle is stepping out of the flow of the River of Life.
I am so passionate about this course. One of the reasons my guardian spirit told me he taught me Soul Retrieval was because of how much time I spent helping people cross over to the other side. It has been a destiny call for me. My guardian spirit told me I needed more help in creating balance and bringing people back from there to here again. I love the work of Death a Shamanic Rite of Passage.

I know we are facing times most of us have not seen. But my helping spirits keep telling me we are going to get through this. And we are going to get through this together. The cycle of life and death continues throughout time.
Join me. I think you might love this work!!
Advanced Shamanic Healing Practitioner Training 2024

I am delighted to announce that I have booked the Chi Center in Galisteo, New Mexico for an Advanced Shamanic Healing Practitioner Training. This training will be for two separate weeks during a year’s time. I never unpacked my workshop supplies from my last training before the pandemic, so I am ready. You can see photos and learn more about the Chi Center by visiting their website https://chicenter.com
I am so excited to be able to teach in person again. And the healing methods of shamanism are what we need at this time of so much personal challenge and planetary change. In this training, you will be gifted with my 40 years of experience teaching and working with clients. I have collected over 10,000 case studies of the amazing results of shamanic healing work.
Shamanic Journeying for Healing: Traverse Worlds to Connect with Helping Spirits & Nature Beings for Hope, Healing & Guidance
Online with Sandra Ingerman – Starting January 2, 2024 for 4 weeks
What does it feel, look, and sound like to have an intimate connection with helping spirits and nature beings of the unseen realms?
Shamanic journeying to worlds beyond our world has been a proven path to connect with multidimensional guides and their insights since ancient times…
… and to navigate the chaos, uncertainty, social divides, and power-over dynamics of modern times.
Journeying can be a visceral experience that empowers the evolution of our souls and engages the senses in a unique way, according to acclaimed shamanic teacher Sandra Ingerman…
… who is one of the first in the West to guide others — for more than 40 years — on ceremonial shamanic journeying and its potent insights, lively spirits, and powerful medicine.
Making a tangible connection with helping spirits who can support us as we move through the stresses and demands of modern living can help us live more connected, conscientious, meaningful, and abundant lives.
Sandra is particularly gifted at holding sacred space for everyone as they seek healing and transformation — which allows us to better connect with and palpably experience the helping spirits who possess the guidance we need right now.
She’ll teach you how during this foundational course on shamanic journeying where you’ll experience firsthand what it looks, feels, and sounds like to explore other worlds and be in true physical presence with the divine beings who dwell there.
Building day-to-day relationships with helping spirits in unseen worlds is life-changing…
… and as Sandra’s former students say, it can arm you with solutions to your greatest personal and collective challenges that you can then share with your family, friends, colleagues, and community.

June 2023

In the April 2023 Transmutation News I announced that I will be teaching an online course where we take a deeper dive into the Medicine for the Earth work.
You are invited to join us for:
Taking Medicine for the Earth Work to higher Frequencies for the Benefit of our Health and the Planet.
Registration closes June 11, 2023
In the April, 2023 Transmutation News I announced that I will be teaching an online course where we take a deeper dive into the Medicine for the Earth work.
You are invited to join us for:
Taking Medicine for the Earth Work to higher Frequencies for the Benefit of our Health and the Planet.
We have done great so far using the tools and practices Isis and other mystics shared that I wrote about in Medicine for the Earth: How to Transform Personal and Environmental Toxins.
But is there a way for us to move forward with the work to experience more of the miracles that Isis and the helping spirits I work with say are possible? We can work from a higher place of light.
In the April newsletter I listed some questions to reflect on. And I think these questions are a perfect summary of what practices we need to review and how we can deepen the work so the work becomes truly who we are.
Some of this workshop will be going over practices to experience how you can take them deeper into your inner world. And there will be new practices I never taught before.
We need the discipline to bring intention, love, unity, concentration, focus, harmony, and imagination fully into our practice as this is the formula for creating miracles taught in the Medicine for the Earth work.
- Do you feel completely at one with Source? Or do you need to perform the creation story journey again to see how much love went into your creation. Has Source guided you to how you can create miracles like Source does?
- What is the vibration emanating from your mouth through your words, thoughts, and daydreams? Do you use words to bless yourself or curse yourself and others? Some old mystics say illness comes from what you put in your mouth and what comes out of your mouth.
- How deep is your transfiguration work? And if it is not deep why not?
- Have you connected to your ancestors and descendants? Have you broken unhealthy contracts with them? Have you learned great wisdom from them?
- Do you remember all the practices and ceremonies that allow you to create your greatest dreams?
- How alive are your invisible senses? If not engaged and completely enlivened, what world are you living in?
- If you engaged in the journey for the equinox of traveling to the mistress or master of daydreams did you really focus on where your work is lacking and what changes did you make in your life after you performed this journey?
- How connected are you to the spirit of the land where you live, the elements, and nature beings?
- Are you following the roadmap of the omens you are being presented with daily?
- What energies are feeding with your daily practices? Use your imagination to draw out the map you are living based on your what energies you are feeding. The energies you are feeding are creating the life you are living.
- What energies are you absorbing from life? That is a good one to look at. For you know the consequences of absorbing poisonous energies.
- How much do you love yourself?
This will be a six-week course taught via zoom on Tuesdays at noon MST starting on June 13. We will skip the week of July 4 as that is a national US holiday. The course will end on July 25. I tried to find a time that would work for all time zones.
The prerequisite is taking Medicine for the Earth and Healing with Spiritual Light in person with me, or another teacher listed on www.shamanicteachers.com or if you took an online class with me that will count too.
The online courses that would serve as a prerequisite are:
Healing with Spiritual Light is a film of a full Medicine for the Earth workshop I taught in Estes Park, Colorado
Cultivate Spiritual Immunity with Shamanic Medicine of the Earth is the course taught on line through the Shift Network.
Shamanic Practices for Spiritual Immunity is also taught by the Shift Network.
The tuition is $250 and is completely non-refundable. So please be sure you are willing to commit to the course before signing up. The course will be recorded and the recordings will be available to download up until two weeks past the end of the course.
In these 90 – 120 minute sessions we will have time for practice, sharing, asking questions, and some interesting work in breakout rooms. And there will be a tremendous amount of love and laughter shared. I hope you feel called to join me.
