2024 COURSES/RETREATS, DATES AND PLACES
These programmes are shared by Bhola Banstola, a long lineage Nepali Shaman with many years of experience in providing knowledge and skills to beginners and experienced practitioners. Our weekends, and our short and long retreats, will introduce you to the traditional ways of the Nepali Shamanic Path. Incorporating Shamanic active journeying (narratives) by playing the drum and singing the sacred songs is part of our earliest ancestors’ enormously powerful techniques to access wisdom beyond the range of ordinary senses.
As humankind’s oldest spiritual healing practice, Shamanism helps us address past events, enrich the present moment, and envision the future. Universally recognized, spiritual healing supports our emotional and psychological health.
For millennia, Shamans have been using their gifts and sacred tools to heal emotional trauma, relieve anxiety and depression, reduce physical pain and helping their communities to live entire lives with more security and confidence. The different levels of transmission and empowerment help aspirants (students who aspire to develop these skills) connect to profound power sources and tap the soul’s infinite potential. Thus it opens ways to solve today’s challenges and help us feel more fulfilled, confident and joyful. Participants will also learn how to use time-tested methods to effectively receive guidance, visions, insights and healing tools for self-empowerment and helping others through rituals, dances, sacred songs, active journeying, mantras chanting, and of course, drumming.
All our transmission and empowerment events are independent of each other. Of course, the necessary understanding and practice are essential to proceed to deeper levels of training and experience, so we recommend that everyone attends the Introductory Transmission.
We are ready to travel to any destination wherever there are people interested in discovering and immersing themselves in experiential aspects of Shamanism, a living tradition of the people of Nepal to this day.
Our transmissions are not limited to indoor practices; we also offer outdoor ceremonies and rituals in remote natural surroundings. We can arrange to guide and accompany aspirants interested in deepening their practices in Nepal with Shamans of different cultural backgrounds, holders of ancient lineages, both men and women.
(shamanic practices do not substitute any other types of healing or treatments)
Thank you and Namaste
