This is a powerful life-changing training in contemporary shamanism and spiritual practices that opens your consciousness and expands your awareness into connection with the light and beauty of all of life!
Work directly with Leontine Hartzell, a highly experienced shamanic teacher and practitioner (29 years’ experience) in small classes with individual guidance for your spiritual journey.
This unique, comprehensive and powerful life-changing program is being offered by Leontine Hartzell for the 29th year!
The course is taught with a holistic approach to mind, body, spirit, nature, earth and community.
This program trains people to have deep and clear connections with compassionate helping spirits and to be able to do healing work for themselves, others and the planet.
You will experience and explore the vast aspects of the spirit realms, helping spirits and connect with the wisdom of the ancestors and future generations.
You will learn to become a “hollow bone” as ancient shamans say, to bring healing wisdom and light healing energy into ordinary reality. You will learn to walk in two worlds – the spirit realms and ordinary reality- with the help of your spirit allies, to become a healer, seer and medicine person.
This intensive deep immersion experience in shamanic practices and shamanic energy healing methods trains people to learn how to be shamanic spiritual light healers and community shamanic practitioners.
Why is this course titled Shamanic Light Healer Apprenticeship?
All true healing is about working with aligning and empowering the divine light within a person, community or place and the space between. All of creation is actually made up of light- both the material and immaterial aspects of creation. You are made of light. When we learn to work with light, we can bring healing and wisdom to our human lives and the life all around us.
A crucial part of this process is the transformational self- healing journey students travel as they learn to work deeply and consistently with helping spirits, ancestors, nature spirits and other beneficent spirits.
You will receive healings in every class as classmates practice skills and methods under direct supervision. You will be guided as you progress on your personal journey of self-awareness and healing throughout each class and the course. Classes are kept small so you get individual guidance and mentoring.
The intention is that students learn to see with the heart and walk the path of light in partnership with helping spirits and with sacred intent in all aspects of one’s life.
The goal of this Apprenticeship Program is so that you will live with the direct guidance, healing and support of fully compassionate helping spirits, discover your soul’s calling with clarity and direction and become the most empowered person you can be to live your life with joy, ease and grace and service, aligned with your soul’s highest calling. The goal is that you will enter into a sacred relationship with all of life and live in the knowing of your beautiful connections with all of life, nature, and the universe.
What You Will Learn:
Whether you will work on individuals doing healing work, conduct ceremonies and rituals, work privately with the spirits of the earth, or focus on enriching your own spiritual practices, this program will give you a wide basis of knowledge and practice to work with helping spirits of many kinds for healing, balance and harmony for yourself, others and the world.
Some graduates of this program build private healing practices, some bring their insights into the business arena, some focus on doing only specific work of service, some work only with nature. Your spirit guides will give you direct guidance as to how you are to use what you learn as you deepen your relationship with them.
You will be guided through this process with the help of Leontine Hartzell, who has over 33 years experience in shamanic practices, over 50 years experience in meditation practices (she started young!) and brings to her teaching continuous channeled wisdom from her spirit guides and Ascended Masters.
Do you feel called to connect with helping spirits and help others?
In these unprecedented accelerating changing times on planet earth, more and more people are awakening to their true spiritual natures and their soul’s calling to be more connected to spiritual truths and energies. By committing to expanding your spiritual practice and knowledge you can take responsibility for your true place in your earth family and community to reveal and utilize your true soul’s gifts in this lifetime.
Are you ready to answer the call?
Leontine is excited to offer this intensive full program again. She has students and clients all over the world and is passionate about helping people realize their true calling as spiritual healers and visionaries. More and more people are answering the calling to move out of ego, to become pure channels for divine light, wisdom and healing, or as the ancestral shamans describe it: to become a hollow bone for spirit to work with.
What is the modern shamanic path?
This is a deeply spiritual path where we live in right harmonious relationship with respect and gratitude for all of life. Learning to transcend our egoic states and align with the divine both within and all around us, this is a path of transformation and awakening to divine love and harmony in all aspects of our life.
It is a path of working with the seen and unseen dimensions of reality, of working in close relationship with compassionate helping spirits to bring healing, wisdom, guidance, vision and balance for ourselves, others, our communities and our world.
We learn to work with benevolent ancestral spirits, as well as the descendants of the future, Ascended Masters, angelic beings, nature spirits and other helping spirits to guide and instruct us on the path of light.
What is Shamanism?
Shamanism is not a religion but is a spiritual practice thousands of years old and found in virtually every indigenous culture around the world. It is a spiritual practice where all of life is viewed and experienced as having spirit. By learning to open one’s heart, one is able to communicate and learn from the helping spirits, who are part of divine awakened consciousness, in order to awaken to one’s own true divine self and live in harmony with oneself, nature, with others and access healing and wisdom.
What is Shamanic Light Healing?
Leontine teaches a shamanic course that is focused on divine light and living shamanic practices. You will learn to connect with the light that makes up all of creation, which is the light that creates all healing.
Leontine teaches using techniques and methods of core shamanism (cross-cultural practices), energy medicine, meditation and other wisdom teachings Leontine has learned from indigenous shamans and shares with their permission and also teaches what she has channeled from her helping spirits.
Students also learn about healing methods that have been used for centuries and have been adapted to our current times. The modern shamanic light healer is thus able to work with pure divine light, wisdom and healing energies and bring these gifts to their own lives, to others and to apply to help heal our communities and planet earth.
Joining together, we will create strong circles of light for the creation of love, light, and balance to elevate our vibrations in alignment with pure divine light and love consciousness.
Classes are conducted in sacred circle and ceremonial style and will include teachings, shamanic journey to unseen realms of spirit, guided visualizations, class discussion, partner work, ceremony, ritual and regular Q and A time. Practices will be conducted with shamanic drumming, rattling, singing and toning, crystal and Tibetan bowls.
Leontine has over 45 years teaching experience teaching spiritual practices and meditation and has taught this training for the past 33 years to students from all over the world. She is continuously adapting and expanding the content to keep it relevant for our changing times!
New practices taught by her compassionate spirit guides and Ascended Masters are added each year to accelerate the learning and spiritual abilities of the students in the program and to continue to adapt to changing circumstances and energies on planet earth.
These classes use cross-cultural shamanic methods of shamanic spirit journeying to a drumbeat or rattle as the primary methods of accessing the spirit realms and connecting with helping spirits. We do not use drugs in any of our work.
