Phoenix is pleased to offer the Diploma of Shamanic Healing in 2012. This is a comprehensive training program accredited by the International Institute for Complementary Therapists(IICT) for people wishing to further develop shamanic and psycho-spiritual modalities based on traditional techniques that have been adapted to modern contexts and healing methods. It is a course for people who want to apply shamanic methods and techniques for healing. You are not required to join any organisation or specific group nor does this program orientate around a particular individual. It is primarily designed to introduce students to shamanism for personal and spiritual development using shamanic technologies.
