A. Only you can make that decision. Consider contacting Kristi to schedule a frank phone or Zoom discussion to see if Singing Earth is the right fit for you. Shamanic journeywork using drum and rattle is one of the main methodologies underpinning the coursework. Shamanism is a spiritual practice that is available to everyone, whether they identify with a particular religious or faith group or not.

A. It’s wonderful that you have a powerful asana practice! Nature vibrates with life. You can bring that into the teaching component of the course and keep us moving. You might gravitate toward the Elements teachings and show us all how to FIRE UP our cores. You may also find that inviting Earth-based wisdom into your awareness inspires and broadens what you offer your students by sparking your creativity.

A. Not necessarily. There are many ways to receive Nature’s wisdom, and the shamanic journey with drum or rattle is just one of them. It is important to remember that this kind of shamanic journeywork is a literally a practice. You may find that your skill using this method improves and you get more clarity as you continue to do it. Your practice may benefit immensely from being part of a circle of others who are joining in common and compassionate intention. You may also find that your way of experiencing Nature is supported and deepened by joining the circle. There’s no need or expectation that you perceive things a certain way. Consider contacting Kristi to have a chat about this.

A. Even if you have a yard or a park nearby, you can experience the power of Nature.

A. If you’re a Whispered Wisdom alum, you’ll be familiar with most of the material in Singing Earth. You may choose to see Singing Earth as a homecoming and a deepening. As a person who practises shamanic journeywork, you also know that when we re-journey on the same intention, we may come away with different learnings depending on where we’re at and what we need at the time. Every circle is a fresh circle, and the discoveries and wisdom will come from the people who make up that group. You may also discover things that you missed the first time around or bring new perspectives to them.

A. $700 CDN. A non-refundable deposit of $175 CDN is required to process your registration.

A. The best and easiest approach is to wait to register for the course until you are sure you can commit to attending. Have a look at the Course Hours above to get a sense of the schedule.

A non-refundable deposit of $175 CDN is required to process your registration. That means if you change your mind, Silver Bough will not refund the deposit. However, you have the option to transfer those dollars to another Silver Bough course, class, workshop, service, or recurring event offering.

If you cancel your registration 15 days or more before the start of the training, the balance of your paid training cost is refundable, less the non-refundable $175 deposit. If you cancel less than 15 days before the training start date, all tuition paid up to the date of cancellation is non-refundable, but it is possible to transfer those dollars to another course, class, workshop, service, or recurring event offering.

If cancellation is due to urgent medical or compassionate circumstances (i.e. death of immediate family member, natural disaster or life threatening illness), consideration for a credit next time the course is offered will be given or you may consider transferring your tuition to another course, class, workshop, service, or recurring event option.

A. You may transfer your tuition to another option ONE TIME ONLY. It is worth giving careful consideration to how you would like to re-distribute it, as once it has been switched, it is fixed, and it remains non-refundable.

A. You are expected to attend all course sessions to receive your completion certificate. If you must miss a session of the course for a compelling reason, homework will be assigned to allow you to complete the missed material. A homework fee will apply, as the preparation of homework takes considerable time and effort. Once you have submitted all outstanding homework assignment(s) and paid your homework preparation fee(s), you will receive your Singing Earth completion certificate.

A. The homework fee per missed session is $50. If you miss three sessions in a day, for example, your total homework fee for that day’s material would be $150.
