Role Of Ancestry And Lineage In Nepali Dhami-jhankri Shamanism

May 15-17, 2026

In Nepali Dhami-Jhankri Shamanism, the Ancestors and Lineage play a crucial role. They are considered the primary key to the health and spiritual development of the progeny. Understanding and honouring this role is a fundamental aspect of the shamanic path.

Embrace this unique opportunity to learn from Bhola Banstola, a revered bearer of the Nepali Dhami-Jhankri Shamanic Path, with extensive teaching experience across the globe. His teachings offer a rare chance to engage with and immerse yourself in ancient wisdom and skills passed down through generations. This journey is open to beginners, the curious, and experienced practitioners alike, welcoming you into a select circle.

The Transmission encompasses traditional lineage shamanism and the incorporation of spirits. Active shamanic narrative journeying—using drumming and the singing of sacred mantras and songs—is one of the powerful ancestral techniques for accessing wisdom beyond ordinary senses and linear time. In this tradition, no mind-altering plants or substances are used. Shamanic trance, a state of altered consciousness, is induced through sacred songs, mantras transmitted by lineage teachers and spirits, and rhythmic drumming.

Shamanism, the oldest healing practice of humankind, offers profound benefits. It helps us confront the past, enrich the present, and envision a brighter future. Recognised worldwide, shamanic healing supports emotional and psychological well-being, instilling hope, clarity, and renewed motivation. It is not merely a practice—it is a path toward a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

Shamanism in Nepal is not a relic of the past, but a living tradition. For millennia, Dhami-Jhankri shamans have used their sacred gifts to heal emotional trauma, alleviate anxiety and depression, ease physical pain, and help communities live with greater confidence and wholeness. By joining this workshop, you become part of this living heritage.

The levels of Transmission and empowerment offered in this workshop are designed to inspire and strengthen participants. They help students connect to profound sources of healing power and access the soul’s inherent potential. This journey supports the resolution of present-day challenges while cultivating inner confidence, resilience, and joy.

As an earth-rooted path connected to ancestry, lineage, and nature, Shamanism teaches us to connect with local spirits, form respectful relationships, honour seasonal rhythms, and—when necessary—seek their support for protection and harmony. Knowledge of the land, home, and ancestral keepers forms the foundation of the shamanic way.

Over the three days of transmissions, special emphasis will be placed on Ancestors and Lineage. In traditional Nepali Shamanism, the Ancestors hold a primary role in the well-being and spiritual evolution of their descendants. A group ceremony will be conducted with individual focus and guidance.

Consistent practice and deep understanding are essential for progressing to advanced teachings and experiences. Therefore, both aspirants and the simply curious are warmly welcomed, as this workshop opens the door to future learning and transmission.
