WholeSpirit and Mara Bishop provide the following links to shamanic resources to assist you in your personal evolution.
The Foundation for Shamanic Studies presents the world's foremost training programs in core shamanism and shamanic healing. These programs are based on the pioneering work of anthropologist Michael Harner, who noticed consistencies in shamanic practices around the world, which he designated as "core shamanism". The Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation, study, and teaching of shamanic knowledge for the welfare of the planet and its inhabitants. Visit the website for information about core shamanism, workshops, drumming circles and shamanic supplies and for articles about shamanism.
The Foundation’s programs in core shamanism help practitioners reacquire access to their rightful spiritual heritage through quality workshops and training courses. Training in core shamanism includes teaching students to alter their consciousness through classic non-medicinal shamanic techniques such as repetitive drumming so that they can discover their own hidden spiritual resources, transform their lives, and learn how to help others. Mara Bishop is a graduate of the FSS Three-Year Program in Advanced Initiations in Shamanism and Shamanic Healing™ and a Harner Certified Shamanic Counselor® (C.S.C.).
