What are the best types of shamanic healing courses for you?

Each type of shamanic course serves a unique purpose depending on your level of experience, your soul’s calling, and the kind of healing work you feel drawn to offer.

In this post, we’ll explore the different types of shamanic healing courses available and help you identify which path may be best for you.

1. Introductory – Shamanic Course: Learning the Language of Shamanism

If you’re just beginning your journey into shamanism, start with an introductory course that introduces core principles. These courses often cover sacred space, protection practices, journeying to meet power animals or spirit guides, and understanding energy flow.

They may also include elements like understanding the six directions and the medicine wheel. These introductory trainings help you open intuitive awareness and begin building trust in your connection to Spirit.

Best for: Spiritual seekers, empaths, and those wanting to heal themselves or explore energy work for the first time.

2. Basic – Foundations of Shamanic Healing: Mesa Training & Practice

If you feel called to serve others or become a ceremonial healer, look for a Mesa training or shamanic practitioner training. Rooted in Andean and Peruvian shamanic traditions, a Mesa is a sacred altar of stones and medicine objects used to track, move, and heal energy.

These trainings are more immersive—often held over months or multiple years in a retreat format—and include fire ceremonies, rites of initiation, ancestral healing, and energy tracking skills. You’ll learn how to become a vessel for healing, rather than just doing techniques.

Best for: Aspiring shamainc practitioners, those drawn to deep ceremonial work, or anyone committed to becoming a lineage-based healer.

3. Intermediate – Mesa or Shamanic Practitioner Trainings: Walking the Healer’s Path

Many Mesa Carriers and shamanic healers complete powerful trainings but struggle with the next step: how to actually serve clients in a professional, sustainable way.  Our intermediate training, The Healer’s Path, is designed to give shamanic practitioners the tools, systems, and confidence to transform their training into a thriving shamanic practice.

This course blends traditional wisdom with practical business foundations. Shamanic practitioners learn how to structure sessions, set pricing, attract clients, and establish a clear business model while staying aligned with their spiritual path.

By the end of the program, shamanic practitioners walk away with proven treatment protocols, hands-on experience, and a framework for building a successful practice.

Best for: Shamainc practitioners or full Mesa carriers, who want to start a shamanic practice but don’t know how to start and build a professional business.

4. Trauma-Informed & Integrative Trainings: Bridging Ancient and Modern Healing

Some of the most powerful trainings today combine shamanic wisdom with modern therapeutic tools such as somatic work, NLP, parts work, or breathwork.

We offer a hybrid training, Healing The Three Realms, which is ideal for therapists and healing practitioners who want to hold space for deep healing in a safe, ethical, and trauma-informed way.

Healing isn’t one-dimensional. Yet many models still separate the mind from the body, and the body from the spirit.

In this shamanic healing course, we weave trauma-informed care with shamanic-centered frameworks and maps that respect the full complexity of your client.

This course teaches healing practitioners… how to map the healing process across the mind, body, and soul.

5. Advanced & Initiation-Based Trainings: From Student to Wisdom Carrier

Once you’ve completed foundational work and carried your Mesa for some time… you may want to consider advanced shamanic skills training if you are ready to go beyond the basics and deepen your healing skills. The course includes building your Shamanic Tool Box, Deep Healing Strategies, Extraction, death rites, land healing, and ceremonial leadership.

Advanced training isn’t just about learning more techniques—it’s about becoming a Master Level Mesa Carrier. You’ll be asked to step fully into your role as a healer, space holder, and keeper of the lineage. This training often includes real-time ceremonial facilitation, initiations, and personal transformation.

Best for: Full Mesa carriers who are ready to elevate their knowledge, skillset, and their shamanic practice.

Online vs In-Person Shamanic Training: What’s Better?

Online courses are great for:

• Learning theory, tools, and frameworks

• Connecting with teachings from far-away elders

• Integrating knowledge at your own pace

In-person trainings, however, allow for:

• Direct energetic transmission from teacher to student

• Real-time ceremonial practice, feedback, and mentorship

• Immersion in sacred space, ritual, and nature

• Healing and transformation within a live community field

 Online shamanic courses offer incredible accessibility, but when it comes to learning shamanic healing, something essential is lost in translation.

I’ve been immersed in shamanism for many years, guided by teachers from several different lineages. From what I’ve experienced, true shamanic training is not simply about acquiring knowledge. It’s a journey of personal transformation, embodiment, energetic transmission, and sacred relationship with the lineage… dimensions of learning that cannot be fully replicated while sitting in front of a screen.

If you’re serious about walking the healer’s path, seek at least one in-person training. There are teachings that can only be transmitted in person and in ceremony.

Choosing the Right Course for You

The best shamanic healing course isn’t always the most advanced—it’s the one that meets your soul’s readiness.

Ask yourself:

• Do I want to heal myself or serve others?

• Am I looking for personal growth, or to become a professional healer?

• Do I prefer short experiences, or am I ready for deep, long-term transformation?

• Am I seeking community, lineage, and mentorship?

Trust your intuition. The right course will stir something ancient in you, spark curiosity, and challenge you to grow.

Final Thoughts

Shamanic training isn’t just about acquiring skills—it’s about becoming a different version of yourself. Whether you’re just beginning or are ready to step into your sacred role as a competent and confident healer, there’s a course that can guide you.
