The next Shamanic Studies Program
starts April of 2025!
In 2000, when I began designing and teaching this program, I don't know that I could have imagined the impact it would have on my life, the extraordinary people I would meet, and the blessing it would be to witness students, heal and grow and bring beautiful changes to their lives and the world. Join me in April as we begin the next adventure into the world of Shamanism.
​
This program is now being offered as Hybrid learning.
You can now study with Donna from ANYWHERE!
Join us In-Person at Donna's office in Chicago Heights, IL, or via Zoom.
There is a 10-student maximum for In-Person.
Once we begin the Shamanic Healing Modalities portion of the program, students wishing to fly in and join us In-Person, there will be accommodations made for the over-capacity at the office.
2025/2026 Schedule
The program's first eight months, Laying the Foundation covers the basic components of Shamanism, including Plant and Animal Medicine, Spirits of Nature, Medicine for the Earth, and the Power of Ceremony. They also cover the basics of energetic self-care for oneself and when working with others. A solid understanding of these teachings is required to progress to the second part of the program, which is learning Shamanic healing modalities.

Full participation in each course is required to receive your certificate of completion. Together, we will build a community that supports each other in growth, learning, healing, and experiencing the transformative power of walking the Shamanic Path. This certificate affirms that you have completed all the required courses and coursework and possess a working knowledge of the healing modalities taught. For those who feel drawn, you may choose to become a Shamanic Practitioner.
​
It’s important to understand that no one can become a "certified Shaman." Walking the Shamanic Path is not about achieving a title; it is a continual process of evolving, aligning, learning, and growing. This path is one of remembering and unfolding, not of becoming. We are all students and teachers, walking humbly together. I ask graduates of this program to identify themselves as Shamanic Practitioners.

*** One-day classes and two-day courses have a $100 cancelation fee. Three-day courses have a $200 cancelation fee.
