SHAMANISM, DEATH AND AFTERDEATH

Using shamanic techniques to better understand death, dying and the afterlife.

From a shamanic perspective, physical death is not the end of life, but a great transition, a transformation in the best sense of the word. Coming to terms with one's own death and dying allows shamans to support other people in coping with this fundamental experience. Shamans are intermediaries between the living in everyday reality and the souls of the deceased in the non-ordinary reality. In addition, if the deceased cannot independently find a way forward and needs help, then shamans accompany these souls.

Participants in this seminar delve into shamanic cosmology. They get to know the death process from a shamanic perspective and develop an understanding of what happens to the human essence – the soul – after death. Finally, they learn what the shamanic process of death and mourning looks like in practice, how the accompanying of souls in the non-ordinary reality takes place.

The seminar “SHAMANISM, DEATH AND AFTERDEATH” practically addresses the following aspects of shamanic work:

· Research into the cosmology of shamanism

· Theoretical and practical experience of the dying process before and after death from a shamanic perspective

· Confrontation with one’s own death and dying

· Helping deceased souls who cannot find their way forward on their own
