Shamanic Training with Susanna Bellini

Shamanism day Shamanix weekend Shamanix Practitioner Shamanic Soul Healing Resources

The term Shaman originally referred to the traditional healers of Northern Asia, literally meaning "he (or she) who knows" and gradually came into wider use for healers working in harmony with nature.   

Traditionally, the shaman fulfilled many functions in the community, such as healing, journeying, soul retrieval, divination, mediating and acting as a bridge between worlds. Our Shamanix™ training leads to competence in all these areas of activity, ultimately producing shamans in harmony with nature, able to channel and communicate information, energy, creativity and healing as positive influences in the world.

Train to become a shaman

Susanna Bellini has spent 15+ years intensively learning from and working with shamans, healers, energy workers and guides in different traditions. She has stripped away unnecessary trappings, myths and dogma in order to present the underlying principles and essence of these teachings in practical forms suitable for 21st century life. Susanna's teachings deliver practical skills respecting the different spiritual beliefs, culture and traditions of participants.

Training is available at several levels:

Practical shamanic energy skills

This spring 2009 we are offering a new 1 day shamanic energy training: this is a fast-track to the essential skills and methods needed for any further shamanic or energy-related training, including our practitioner training programmes.

The 1 day shamanic energy skills training is suitable for beginners who want a good grounding in practical energy management skills, to springboard to further energy training and practices. This 1 day training also suits those who may have done some healing, energy or shamanic training, but are missing some practical energy skills and abilities.

Anyone who wants a gentler introduction to energy work, or to healing in particular, could look at our Reiki 1 day course as an alternative. Anyone who wants a more comprehensive introduction to shamanic work might prefer to do our Shamanix weekend, or our 8 week online practical shamanism course.

Overview:

Enhance your sensory abilities through practical energy sensing, clearing, filtering, balancing and energising practices. Enhance your intuition through effective dowsing and divination practices; sharpen your intent and ability to manifest.

The ability to sense energy fields, detect when and where they are out of balance, and to rebalance and re-energise them, is essential groundwork for any kind of energy training and energy-based therapy. The morning will focus on these skills, specifically:

  • Seeing and sensing energy fields (auras)
  • Clearing your own and others’ energy fields
  • Energising your own and others’ energy fields

(We may include influencing others’ energy fields, depending on progress of group and interest.)

The ability to form clear, focused Intent is essential for good-decision making, effective action and manifestation. These are also essential skills for effective shamanic energy work. During the afternoon session, we will therefore focus on various methods of:

  • Dowsing for clarifying intent and checking the validity of information (including pendulums and body pendulum.)

(We may include stone-casting, depending on progress of group and interest).

“A wonderful insight into energy tools.”

C Hammond

“The learning of energy and replenishing with positive ideas/thoughts/energy was very useful, together with the protection of zipping up your own energy for protection. A very relaxed, interesting day.”

Claire Lee, Holistic Therapist, York


Shamanix™ weekend training: / practical shamanism 2-day intensive:

Our 2-day intensive covers the same material as the 1 day programme, to make sure that participants have the essential energy/shamanic know-how to continue developing these skills effectively and to enter our advanced shamanic, energy, dreaming and spiritual training programmes.

In addition to sensing energy fields and learning to clear, balance and energise them and dowsing effectively with pendulums and rods, the weekend includes divination, shape changing, influencing the weather and communicating with plant, mineral, animal and other forms of consciousness. See full Shamanix™ weekend details.


Shamanix™ / Shamanic practitioner training with Susanna Bellini

Our original Shamanix™ Practitioner training, taught for the first time in 2006, offered practitioner certification in Shamanic Healing on successful completion of the training and case studies. Shamanix™ Practitioner certification was available on completion of further Mindskills and Dreamweaving modules and further case studies. Shamanix™ practitioner pages, testimonials and reviews are available for further information.

From 2009 Susanna is offering a new generation of specific practitioner-level trainings, to better organise and teach the wide range of shamanic skills and abilities into their different areas of shamanic work.

  • All courses cover general shamanic skills and therefore offer certification in Shamanic Healing.
  • In addition, these courses will offer specific certification, where this is taught and recognised by other schools, and Susanna’s own certification, where the teachings are unique.

Shamanic Soul Healing certificate training

Overview:

New in Spring 2009: 7-day intensive training focusing on working with guides, journeying, present and past life healing, soul retrieval and spirit release from people and places.

This training offers dual certification in both shamanic healing and soul retrieval (after successful completion of training and case studies) and is the most up-to-date intensive training available in these areas of shamanic work. Taught with practical, verifiable methods, within a strong ethical and spiritual framework, you will feel safe and confident in practising and utilising these skills.

This training is best suited to self-aware individuals, who have worked on healing and clearing themselves and who already have some training and/or experience in areas such as energy work, healing, counselling, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, TFT, EFT, NLP, meditation, yoga and similar balancing, clearing, focusing and healing methods.

Due to the nature of this training, it is necessary to assess the suitability of participants: if you have not trained with us before, please write to Susanna at info@bronze-dragon.com in the first instance, giving details of any relevant background, training and experience. We will need to discuss via phone, or in person, whether this is the most suitable training for your needs.

Course Programme:

This training covers the theory and practice of shamanic healing and soul retrieval, necessary to qualify as a competent and confident practitioner, if this is your wish.

Training is in small groups, and goes above and beyond the standard course syllabus, to progress individuals, according to their own needs and interests, as far as possible.

(Further certification in Susanna Bellini’s own system, Shamanix™, is possible, on completion of further case studies, plus the Dreamweaving module.)

This course may also include de-possession training, depending on the group’s progress and interest.

This course also includes the opportunity to receive Susanna’s unique ‘Dragon attunement’ (This will be explained during training).

“The course provided me with skills and ideas to tackle may personal and client issues from a new, holistic and intuitive level. I had little knowledge and experience of energy work, but was expertly guided to develop confidence in working with complex ideas which Susanna introduced with impressive simplicity.

This was my first yet powerful training in this area. Personally I felt some clouds have lifted from my mind.”

“A pleasant journey into wonderful world of communion with self and rest of the universe.”

Ross Alexander, BACP Registered Counsellor, NLP Master Practitioner, BSc Hon

“The work on soul release, soul retrieval and animal guides, plus becoming more aware of our other guides – particularly our strong safety guide – has been unbelievably wonderful and enlightening. I feel a more complete person now and will incorporate this work into my own work and life.

I would recommend this to any energy worker as a safe, humorous, wonderful course!”

Claire Lee, Holistic Therapist

“Each time I come on one of Susanna’s courses I become more and more aware of her high level energy skills and how she uses those to teach the participants to do high level energy work in a safe and supportive environment, easily and with confidence. I underwent some deep personal healing during this week and witnessed the same for others. We also did powerful healing for people remotely and for the land and the earth. For those drawn to this kind of work, I can’t recommend highly enough Susanna’s teaching.”

Peter Fulcher, Manchester
