SUMMARY:Travelling Home: Soul Retrieval Practitioner Training Course (Live in Glastonbury)
DESCRIPTION:THIS COURSE IS NOW FULLY BOOKED \nTravelling Home: Soul Retrieval Training Course\n \n  \nThis two-day certificated and accredited experiential training course will teach you the ancient tool of Soul Retrieval\, adjusted to contemporary practice\, including shamanic & psycho-therapeutic integration approaches. \n  \n  \nWhat is Soul Retrieval? \nAccording to shamanic teachings\, every one of us had to split-off parts of our psyche\, mainly through traumatic and adverse circumstances in our childhood. This diminished our physical\, mental\, emotional and spiritual potential\, fragmented us and severed the connection to our deepest and authentic selves. As these split-off parts are no longer available to us\, our vital authentic powers and potentials are curtailed . \nIn ancient psycho-spiritual teachings the retrieval and re-integration of such split-off parts of ourselves is seen as the most vital step towards becoming whole. Like modern psycho-therapeutic dissociation approaches\, the practice of Soul Retrieval therefore aims to retrieve and re-integrate those parts as without them people are unable to heal and lead creative authentic lives\, which are meaningful and purposeful\, and reach their potential. \nSome split-off parts can be retrieved by ourselves\, but shamanic practitioners have always assumed that certain parts are difficult to access by the individual as they have fled to the ‘other worlds’  They therefore journey into the unconscious and parallel realms\, using deep trance states\, to retrieve lost soul parts\, utilising their vast knowledge about those realms and the teachers and helpers available. \nWhat you will learn\n\nHow retrieve parts for yourself and others\nHow to work in a healing way with these parts during the Soul Retrieval journey\nHow you can apply shamanic and contemporary psycho-therapeutic integration methods to assist the integration of the retrieved parts physically\, mentally and emotionally. \nHow can integrate Soul Retrieval within your therapeutic or healing practice\, your shamanic work or just utilise it for yourself\n\nCourse content\n\nThe shamanic concept of Soul Loss\nThe contemporary concept of dissociation \nShamanic Worlds: lower- upper and middle worlds\nShamanic helpers for Soul Retrieval: power animals & spirit guides\nJourneying to retrieve split-off parts \nRetrieving split-off parts for your clients or others \nHow to work with split-off parts during the journey\nGrounding and Integrating of the retrieved soul parts: shamanic and modern therapeutic concepts\n\n\n  \nEligibility and accreditation: \nThis is an advanced training course.You need to have some experience in shamanic journeying. It is certificated and accredited \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\nFees & Venue  \nVery Early Bird Exchange: £ 225.00  \nEarly Bird Exchange: £ 275.00 (until 12th September 2025)  \nRegular course fees:  £ 325.00 \nThe course fees include the course manual and an accredited certificate.  A non-refundable deposit of £ 80.00 is included in the fees\, unless the course is cancelled \nParticipants will receive an email with joining instructions and further information before the course commences. \n  \n\nSchedule & Venue \nThe course is non-residential. It will be held at the Glastonbury Goddess Temple\, High Street\, Glastonbury\, Avalon Room \nSaturday 11th October 2025\,  10am – 6pm \nSunday 12th October 2025\, 10am – 4pm \nAlthough the course is held at the Glastonbury Goddess temple\, women and men are welcome to participate.

SUMMARY:Healing the Divided Self and Traveling Home: Soul Retrieval Training
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT IS NOW FULL\nSoul Retrieval Training Course\nThis three-day non-residential experiential training course will teach you the ancient tool of Soul Retrieval\, adjusted to contemporary practice. According to shamanic teachings\, every one of us had to split-off parts of our psyche\, mainly during our childhood. This diminished our physical\, mental\, emotional and spiritual potential\, fragmented us and severed the connection to our deepest and authentic selves. As these split-off parts are no longer available to us\, our vital authentic energetic powers and potentials are curtailed . \nIn ancient psycho-spiritual teaching the retrieval and re-integration of such split-off parts of our selves is seen as the most vital step towards becoming whole. Like modern psycho-therapeutic dissociation approaches\, the practice of Soul Retrieval therefore aims to retrieve and re-integrate those parts as without them people are unable to heal and lead creative authentic lives\, which are meaningful and purposeful\, and reach their potential. \nSome split-off parts can be retrieved by ourselves\, but shamanic practitioners have always assumed that certain parts are difficult to access by the individual as they have fled to the ‘other worlds’  They therefore journey into the unconscious and parallel realms\, using deep trance states\, to retrieve lost soul parts\, utilising their vast knowledge about those realms and the teachers and helpers available. \nDuring this course you will learn how retrieve parts for yourself and others. You can integrate this within your therapeutic or healing practice\, your shamanic work or just utilise it for yourself. \n  \nCourse content\n\nThe shamanic concept of Soul Loss\nThe contemporary concept of dissociation\nShamanic Worlds: lower- upper and middle worlds\nShamanic helpers for Soul Retrieval: power animals & spirit guides\nJourneying to retrieve split-off parts \nRetrieving split-off parts for your clients \nGrounding and Integrating of the retrieved soul parts: shamanic and modern concepts\n\n\n  \nEligible:\nPsychologists\, therapeutic practitioners\, counsellors\, healers\, body therapists\, Reiki- and other energy practitioners and lay-people with some previous experience in shamanism and/or journeying. \n  \nFees & Venue\n\nEarly bird fees: £ 225.00 ( before 15th September 2021) \nFull Fees: £275.00 \nThe course fees include a non-refundable deposit of £ 50.00 unless the course is cancelled \nParticipants will receive an email with joining instructions and further information early October 2021. \nVenue: Horn Village Hall in Chalfont St Peter is a delightful venue in easy reach from London by car and by train. See map details. \n  \nFacilitation\nThis course will be taught by myself with the assistance of Roy Sunley\, a renowned spiritual teacher and highly skilled international Medium\, Quantum Touch instructor and Reiki Master teacher. \nFor more information about Roy Sunley’s amazing work\, please click into his website http://www.roysunley.co.uk

SUMMARY:Soul Retrieval - Training Course for Therapeutic Professionals
DESCRIPTION:If you are a therapeutic professional this course it not to be missed! \nThis three-day non-residential experiential training course\, designed for therapeutic professionals\, will teach you the ancient tool of soul retrieval\, adjusted to contemporary practice\, and will link the shamanic retrieval practice with integrative Psychosynthesis work that places soul at the heart of its techniques and practice. \nCourse content: \n\nThe shamanic concept of Soul Loss\nThe contemporary concept of dissociation\nShamanic Worlds: lower- upper and middle worlds\nShamanic helpers for Soul Retrieval: power animals & spirit guides\nShamanic journeying as a therapeutic tool\nShamanic journeying for Soul Retrieval\nGrounding and Integrating of the retrieved soul parts: shamanic and psychosynthesis concepts\n\nThe ancient shamanic concept of ‘Soul Loss’\, like the contemporary psychological concept of ‘dissociation\, recognises the human ability to split off parts of the psyche\, mainly in response to adverse circumstances and/or trauma. Soul Loss is seen as a common experience that fragments us and diminishes our physical\, mental\, emotional and spiritual potential\, severing the connection to our deepest and authentic self in the process. \nAlthough everyone experiences Soul Loss\, it can manifest in different ways\, but it always results in split-off parts of the psyche\, unavailable to the individual\, and therefore in a curtailment of vital energetic life powers. \nIn the psychotherapeutic field we aim to help the individual retrieve and integrate those parts so that the individual can heal and lead a more creative authentic life\, which is both meaningful and purposeful. \nIn traditional cultures\, it is also believed that the retrieval and integration of lost soul parts is essential. Unlike contemporary approaches\, shamans have always assumed that certain parts are difficult to access by the individual. They have therefore ‘journeyed’ into the unconscious and parallel realms\, using deep trance states\, to retrieve lost soul parts\, acquiring a vast knowledge about those realms and the teachers and helpers available. \n  \nThe course fees include a non-refundable deposit of £ 50.00 and an administration fee of £ 5.00. Refunds are only made up to 6 weeks before the course commences and are non-refundable once the course has started. \nParticipants will receive an email with joining instructions and further information in June 2019. \n  \n  \n\nFacilitators / Trainers:\nChrista Mackinnon is a psychologist\, therapist\, trainer\, group facilitator\, shamanic teacher and author. She combines the ancient shamanic with the contemporary therapeutic. Christa is the author of: ‘Shamanism and Spirituality in Therapeutic Pracitice’ (Jessica Kingsley 2012) & Shamanism: Awaken and Develop the Shamanic Force Within (Hay House 2016). http://www.christamackinnon.com \n\nSue Fox is a supervisor\, group facilitator\, Psychosynthesis psychotherapist and training therapist with over 25 years experience. She was also a Senior Faculty staff member at the Institute of Psychosynthesis for 20 years where she was a supervisor and trainer and is now on the Board of Psychosynthesis. http://www.sue-fox.com
