🌿✨ Blessed Imbolc ✨🌿 As we weave Brigid’s Cross, we honour this sacred threshold, Imbolc, returning light, renewal and quiet promise. Like a seed we too grow and honour those who came before us.

Under the glow of the Full Moon, we bless the gentle awakening of the land.
The days are slowly lengthening.
The sap begins to hear the call to rise.
Tiny green buds appear where yesterday there were none.
Birdsong returns.

Imbolc reminds us that transformation doesn’t arrive all at once.
It comes through small, faithful steps, through patience, attention, and trust in life’s rhythm.
What has been resting underground is stirring.
What has been waiting is beginning to breathe anew.

May Brigid bless your hearth, your hands and your heart.
May new inspiration warm you gently.
May you notice and honour the subtle signs of growth, within you and around you. 🌕🔥

🌿 Our Introduction Weekend begins in February
🌿 Our year-long Main Training starts in the spring

✨Many women who come to Shamanka tell us “I’ve been drawn to this work for years… but something always held me back.”

Often, hesitation isn’t doubt, it’s a sign that something significant is waiting, awakening, divine timing unfolding on your path. A time of nurturing the seed of your becoming.

Our students are women from many walks of life, who have often spent decades caring for others, building lives, working hard, holding families and communities together. At some point, quieter questions begin to arise:
Who am I?
What do I need?
What is waiting to heal and unfold within me?

The Shamanka training is not about becoming someone new. It is about coming home to yourself.

Through traditional, time-honoured, simple yet powerful practices, you are gently guided to:
• tend and repair old inner wounds
• soften the inner critic and cultivate compassion
• become calmer, more grounded and emotionally resilient
• grow in confidence and clarity
• reconnect with your intuition and inner wisdom

All of this unfolds within a supportive sisterhood — women walking alongside you, not competing, fixing or judging, but witnessing and supporting one another’s growth.

This path was carefully designed by Eliana Harvey, our visionary founder, who dedicated her life to creating a training that honours women’s cycles, depth and lived experience. To step into Shamanka is to become part of a living legacy of strong, grounded, centred women — each walking her own path, yet deeply connected.

If something in you is whispering “maybe now”, we invite you to listen.

FOCUS ON: MODULE FOUR
The Book of Souls
Kawak Karpay – Seer Rites
📅 9–11 October 2026

Weekend four marks a powerful threshold — where self-healing opens into service.

Having cleared many personal shadows, the flow of healing energy now moves freely through your being. You learn to access limitless intelligent energy for your own wellbeing, for others, and for the wider world.

This in circle we learn about soul retrieval techniques, past-life work and advanced healing, allowing the Shamanka woman to become a catalyst for transformation and compassion in a fragmented world.

We deepen the practice of becoming “hollow bones” — clearing ego and shadow so spirit may move through us with clarity and grace. This module deepens knowledge of the empowering Inka teachings from the Andean tradition.

We celebrate transformation with ceremony, joy and community.

✨ FOCUS ON: MODULE THREE
Gifts of the Seer
Ayni Karpay – Harmony Rites
📅 21–23 August 2026

The third weekend opens the doors to the path of the Seer.

Through powerful practices of shape-shifting and embodiment, you learn to see yourself — and others — in entirely new ways. You will meet your Sacred Power Animal, journey to its realms, and receive ongoing guidance and support from this ally.

This weekend develops skills in dreaming, visioning, divination and diagnosis, allowing you to perceive the emotional and spiritual roots of illness before they manifest physically. Practices such as Shamanic Extraction and Cutting of Ties are explored.

This module is linked to the Native American lineage, offering deep wisdom, courage and clarity.

A profound step into insight, intuition and responsibility.

✨ FOCUS ON: MODULE TWO
Dance of the Allies
Bands of Power & Protection Rites
📅 5–7 June 2026

In the second weekend, the work deepens as we awaken the Luminous Body and begin forming conscious relationships with our tools, allies and helping spirits.

This weekend is about discovering your unique way on the shamanic path. Through a wide range of healing techniques, you will explore which allies and tools resonate most strongly for you.

A central theme is the healing of male and female energies within. We honour and balance the impacts of masculine energy in our lives, meet our inner magical male, and arrive at the Sacred Marriage — supporting the healing of the inner child.

This module is linked to the Celtic lineage, rooted in the wisdom of these lands.

A weekend of empowerment, balance and deepening relationship with spirit.

✨ FOCUS ON: MODULE ONE
Keys to Self Knowledge
Humpeq – Healers Rites
📅 10–12 April 2026

The journey of the Shamanka Main Training begins with coming home to yourself.

In the first weekend, we lay the foundations for walking in balance as a Shamanka woman — within ourselves and within the world. This weekend invites deep healing of personal and ancestral wounding around what it means to be a woman, and the roles we carry.

You will learn psychic protection and energising techniques, begin journeying to other realities, and explore the core protocols of shamanic healing. Hands-on healing practices awaken your inner sight, while the Medicine Wheel of Life becomes a living diagnostic map — revealing strengths, challenges and the remedies needed for balance.

This module is linked to the Egyptian lineage, connecting us to some of the oldest healing traditions on Earth.

A powerful and compassionate beginning to a year of transformation.

🌿✨ Native Plant Wisdom — Part 3 of 3 ✨🌿 Water, renewal and the green medicine of belonging

To work with native plants is to offer relationship, rather than feel ownership. These allies invite us into flow, renewal and deep belonging.

What are your favourite native plants to use in your home or practice — and why do they speak to you? 🌿

🌿 Willow
Willow is the tree of water, emotion and grief. The original source of aspirin, it eases pain and inflammation. Spiritually, Willow teaches emotional flexibility, compassion and the wisdom of bending rather than breaking. It invites tears, release and healing.

🌱 Birch
Birch is a tree of new beginnings and purification. Often the first pioneer to grow after disturbance, it supports detoxification and renewal. Spiritually, Birch helps us shed old skins and step into fresh chapters with clarity and lightness.

🍃 Ivy
Ivy is the medicine of connection and persistence. Evergreen and clinging, it supports the respiratory system and symbolises continuity through dark times. Spiritually, Ivy teaches devotion, loyalty and the strength found in interdependence.

✨ This completes our short series celebrating some brief aspects of native UK plant wisdom.

🌿✨ Native Plant Wisdom — Part 2 of 3 ✨🌿 Trees, thresholds and the medicine of protection

Our ancestors didn’t separate spirituality from the natural world; trees and plants were companions, teachers and guardians. Today we visit three more powerful native allies.

What are your favourite native plants to use in your home or practice, and why?

🌳 Oak
The great tree of sovereignty, longevity and endurance, Oak represents strength rooted in wisdom and integrity. Physically, Oak has been used for astringent and strengthening remedies; spiritually, it teaches stability, leadership and deep connection to ancestry. Oak’s mighty presence reminds us to stand dignified, proud and deeply grounded.

🌼 Yarrow
Yarrow is a treasured plant of protection and healing, traditionally used on wounds both physical and energetic. It supports circulation and immunity, while spiritually it helps mend boundaries and release trauma. Yarrow teaches us how to stay open-hearted without absorbing what isn’t ours to carry.

🌙 Mugwort
A plant of dreaming and vision, Mugwort has long been used for journeying, intuition and lunar work. It supports the nervous system, digestion and women’s health, while spiritually it opens doorways to the subconscious. Mugwort whispers: listen inward, the answers are already there.

✨ Part two of our native plant series, briefly exploring some natural allies of these lands.
