I ask that each student makes a commitment to be there for each class. The energy within the circle will be sacred and we will go deep with our work.

All students will have a personal connection to Rose. If they are interested in apprenticing, they will need to write a letter of intention along with tobacco .

First Class: October 19th, 20th: The Sacred Medicine Wheel and The Red Road

This weekend is the foundation of the training. We will learn how to journey with the drum, how to set up and alter, and the teachings of the Guardians of the Eleven directions taught by the elders of the First Nation.

This first month we will learn the Medicine Wheel and the Addiction Wheel which is the human struggles of walking the sacred path. The amazing awareness is that within each Lodge is the opportunity for healing any trauma by simply being open to change, transformation and forgiveness.

Using the power of nature, openness and wisdom teachings, we will begin to understand how to do spiritual healing by making it a lifestyle.

Third Class, 2026 Jan.11th, 12th: Clearing and Healing the Body: As a healer we need to be able to see energy blocks in the body and etheric fields and have the tools to clear them. This weekend we will learn various tools for keeping the body healthy, happy and holy. We will learn how to use prayer as a protection from the evil eye and certain mantras for healing and protection.

Teachings on the bardo, psycho pomp and supporting souls who are struggling in the middle world will be shared. Powa will be taught and shared as a support for the dying and for ourselves to prepare for our own death. Many of the teachings this weekend are from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. We will end the weekend with making a Prayer Bundle called a Despacho for the collective grief of the world that will be released in the waters.

Seventh Class : July 19th, 20th: Deposession : We will spend the weekend learning how to work with a client who has various levels of possession, which is a deep layer of energy blockage that has overtaken their system. This is very powerful work and we will learn how to release lost souls that become attached to someone, using psychopomp and prayers.

Eight Class:Aug.30th, 31st:  Soul Retrieval: When one experienced trauma a part of the soul can fragment. This is called soul loss. This weekend we will learn how to bring back lost soul parts so the person can be whole. This topic is extended into the next weekend also.

Items you will need for the class. Yo do not need to get all before the class but these are tools we will be using: A  frame drum ( one that connects to your heart energy), a rattle, a mala ( prayer beads). Random items will be a notebook, tobacco, eye covering and blanket.

Ninth Class: The Munay Ki Sacred Rites: October 11th, 12th and GRADUATION CEREMONY!!! I love to teach this at the end of the training. It is like the icing on the cake! The teachings come from the Quechua People of Peru. They are nine and a thirteenth transmission of light that supports empowerment and incredible healing for the heart and soul. It will be my way of bringing some of the “medicine” of Peru to you. And, these rites are to be SHARED with others.

Testimonial

I’ve always been drawn to Native teachings and feel more peaceful when in nature. While contemplating whether to take the Shamanic Apprenticeship Training taught by Rose, a good friend who had already taken the course said to me, “it will change your life.” As my friend is retired Army and gives good sound advice, I thought, why not? I’m sure I’ll learn something new and interesting. What an understatement! It’s hard to put into words everything I learned and gained from the training. However, I can say, it did change my life!! My relationships with: people, animals, nature, Spirit, and especially myself are fuller, more enhanced, peaceful, and enjoyable. I will forever be grateful for Rose’s wisdom, teachings, friendship and love which helped to instill a renewed appreciation for each day I walk my journey.
