SUMMARY:Travelling Home: Soul Retrieval Practitioner Training Course (Live in Glastonbury)
DESCRIPTION:This course is now fully booked\nTravelling Home: Soul Retrieval Practitioner 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: £ 255.00 (until 30th June 2026) \nEarly Bird Exchange: £ 295.00 (until 15th October 2026)   \nRegular course fees:  £ 335.00 \nThe course fees include the course manual and an accredited certificate. \nA non-refundable deposit of £ 80.00 is included in the fees\, unless the course is cancelled.
