Shamanic Shift, Dream, and Quest the Adventure of Your Life! (~ Shamantic! The Wise)

Curriculum For Aloha Salem Quest (ASQ) School of Shamanic Ways There are many interpretations of shamanic ways - also called shamanics by us - being practiced and popularized these days. Companions Circle, Shamanic Shift Center, and ASQ University practice and teach contemporary shamanic ways or shamanic innovations or new shamanics. Aside from cultural or religious elements that are added on or blended in within a tradition or lineage, shamanry itself is individualistic to an extreme because shamanic ecstasy unfolds from individual, companionship, and circle direct experience(s) of Life Spirit and the Spirits of Life in the crossroads of here and now moments and everyday situations. Many people can learn to enter Shamanic States of Consciousness (SSP) safely and effectively to receive knowledge and healing from Spirit and the Spirits, whether or not they syncretize shamanic practices and a particular tradition or tradition-blend or religion, and whether or not they receive a spiritual calling to practice shamanry full-time. Course of Education - your individual synthesis and synergy of non-ordinary and ordinary shamanic adventuring; your five senses life experiences in everyday situations; programs of relevant education offered anywhere; your reason, intuition, and instinct in harmony; carefully selected instruction and experimentation as you develop and describe in your own thoughts, words, and deeds your expression of our contemporary, original, and ecstatic shamanic practice way. Sequential steps for completion of ASQ University's apprenticeship: See this page. Basic and Advanced Shamanic and Related Elective Topics for Study: Shamanic Questing - develop your ability to enter Shamanic State(s) of Consciousness with intention, and interact with non-ordinary being and beings to bring back revealing, freeing, and healing knowledge and power for self, others, your world, and the universe. Your Calling - and your Life Purpose, and your decision to fulfill your Destiny starting here and now Context and community - Shamans practice within the context of a community. In this day and age communities are shifting and new kinds of communities are emerging. How do you put your shamanics practice into context? Intention, Attention, and Energy-Flow - learning many shamanic ways of shifting consciousness, self, world, universe, and cosmos towards better and best Shamanic Cosmology - Study ordinary and non-ordinary cosmology and synthesize your understanding. Advanced Shamanic Experiential Studies - Nature Spirits; Divination; Death, Dying, and Beyond; Extraction Healing; Soul Retrieval and Reconnection Healing of Beings, Situations, Communities, and Places; Geomancy; Shamanic Dreaming; Shapeshifting; Prophetic Entertainment; Urban Vision Questing; Healing Recreation; Dramatic Blessing and Storying Around; Creative Wishing and Hoping; Community Shamanism; more topics will be added Ecospiritual Awareness - Develop your understanding how your shamanics practice shifts Earth life towards better and best. Wilderness - Go out of your ordinary way as far as you must to connect your shamanics practice with nature and untamed life. Spiritual Activism - Live so that your ordinary reality life resonates harmoniously with your shamanic experiences. Ministerial and Ceremonial Skills and Knowledge - Opening sacred spacetime; facilitating ritual and ceremony; ministerial and officiant services Physical Health - Develop and live your own best healthy life practices that sustain and enhance natural balanced rhythms of body, emotion, and thought night and day (sleep, diet, breathing, and conscious movement, purposeful action, and more). General Literacy - Stay informed in many areas and fields of ordinary reality - sciences, technologies, arts, philosophies, histories, and cultures - so that your shamanic experiences are grounded and centered and helpful to beings and situations in this world. Naturally, this is not a complete list! This is a general outline of topics for ongoing study. The practice of shamanic ways from innovative to traditional requires lifelong dreaming, journeying, and self-education, with Life Spirit and the Spirits of Life as the Teachers throughout the non-ordinary and ordinary realms of reality. Candidates may also take our courses Shamanic Ways I, II, and III to cover most of the credit hour, essay, and project requirements.

Any links on our link library pages can lead you to online lessons for credit, too, as your education and imagination are stirred and guided by Spirit and the Spirits, such as these: Self-Educational References Page Wise Fool's and Trickster's Mysteries A Fool's Clever Bag In our Circle, we quest and question on the shamanic ecstasy of wonder and wondering, encouraged and inspired by Spirit and the Spirits blowing and spiraling open-ended explorations everywhere on the Tree of Knowing Life - from the Source, through all realms, orders, dimensions, levels, and realms of Souls and back to here and now, and eternal Re-Unity, and Mystery. We do not possess nor expect to receive any circumscribed explanations for all of this, and All That Is, and we certainly don't want to argue about it, but we love to "Ask the Question(s)!" Also, in our unfolding tradition, we enter Shamanic States of Consciousness through fun and laughter, and adventure inward, beyond, and onward, experiencing radiant LIFE itself as shamanic voyaging.
