Learn Shamanism in Berlin or online

Learn the basics of shamanism, shamanic journeying and the shamanic path in this introductory experiential class. No prior experience necessary.

Shamanism is the oldest form of spirituality in the world.

Shamanism isn't a religion, but a way of life.

This one day experiential class introduces you to a journey of your soul by way of the shamanic journey. A shamanic journey is a drug-free altered state of awareness and consciousness that is a powerful tool used for healing, self-awareness and spiritual guidance in our daily lives.

Throughout this course, you will gain an understanding of the fundamental aspects of shamanism, including what it is, when and where it is practiced, who practices it, and how it can be learned by anyone.

You will have the opportunity journey while I play the drum, enabling you to enter a meditative state and experience a non-ordinary reality that facilitates a re-connection with your power animals and spirit guides, as well as a healing from the higher realms. Accessing the knowledge of these shamanic helpers is as simple as acknowledging their presence.

If you believe that your physical body is just a temporary experience, and your spiritual essence (soul energy) continues to live on long after you leave your “meat space suit” as Ram Dass playfully said, then perhaps the time has come for you to shift your awareness to what these pathways of your spiritual journey really mean.

This course is aimed at those who would like to learn the basic techniques that shamans have used for thousands of years to gain insight and wisdom for their lives (however, this course is not a training to become a shaman).

This class and the shamanic way of life pairs wonderfully with Reiki energy healing. If you are interested in combining both - check out my Reiki courses.

  • "I took the Shamanic Foundation Course and it was just wonderful! She wrote for us a very informative and detailed 40 pages manual that we explored together during the first part of the day. Then we had 2 shamanic journeys together, accompanied by Mariana playing the drums and guided by her voice. She is a talented teacher and practitioner; she brings you with her in a magical journey and she infuses everything with her deep spiritual presence, while at the same time she is very practical and `on the ground‘. I love that with her work she wants to heal Mother Nature and she passes this mission to her students. Extremely recommended!!"

    ~ Susanna Borciani, course participant

  • "The shamanic journey we experienced together in a group led by Marina Luna was an incredible experience that is still echoing in my life as I go about my days, unlocking doors and giving me courage. I highly recommend this course for anyone looking to deepen their connection to the spirit realms."

    ~ Heidi Adams, course participant

 

Hi, I’m Mariana Luna and I’m honored to be your Shamanic guide.

I stumbled into Shamanism and energy healing during the most difficult moments of my healing journey, and it completely changed my life in profound ways. Now I want to share the incredible way of life that is Shamanism with you because that I am certain will also positively transform and benefit your life!

In my own holistic practice, I combine traditional Reiki with Mexican curanderismo shamanic energy healing practices (my background and heritage). In my classes you will learn classic shamanism.

You can learn more about me and my story over on my About page. I hope to meet you soon!
