Shamanu: Earth Wisdom™ - Teacher Training

The Art of Living Completely Connected

For most of human existence, we lived in an intimate relationship with the living Earth, our wild hearts immersed in the wonders of creation. Tuned to the rhythms and cycles of nature we learned and were nourished by the non-human powers of the land. Through ‘age-old’ reciprocity with the animate Earth, we experienced the sacred unity of all living things and the joy of living completely connected within the web of life.

Now, amidst the pressure and pace of an industrial growth agenda, we have lost our instinctual knowing and a deep sense of interconnection – and with this, our sense of ‘place’ and purpose. The illusion of separation has isolated us from the source of our greatest wisdom – our ecological Self.

Shamanu: Earth Wisdom Teachings is an invitation to re-story your life back into unity with the living Earth. To reclaim instinctual wisdom, the truth of interconnection and be absorbed into something far larger than the isolated self-culture has conditioned us to believe. To know the powers of Earth as fundamental forces of who you are, and turn them into first-hand experiences that are applicable to your life and path of service. To turn to the authority of ecstatic experience and become warriors of the spiritual wilderness.

Our approach is to ground education in the source of Life – the Earth. For 28 years Shamanu has distilled core teachings that weave a diversity of regenerative practices and philosophies – Deep Ecology, New paradigm thinking from science and spiritual traditions, personal transformation strategies, Primordial Journeys, Earth rituals and meditations, and deep nature immersion to aid individuals in creating empowered choices, lives and cultures of peace

Shamanu supports the spiritual and physical transformations needed for this coming era. We discover our true nature is far more ancient and encompassing than the separate self-defined by society. The processes develop intuitive wisdom, reconnect us the Earth’s intelligence, rouse our love for life and the power to protect it.

“We are creating with our imaginations a period of rebuilding, where the intercommunion of all species will guide our life activities. We must come to understand that these dreams of ours do not originate in our brains alone. We are the space where the Earth dreams.” – Brian Swimme

The Practices:

We stand at a critical moment in Earth’s history, a time when humanity must choose its future. To move forward we must recognize… that we are one human family and one Earth community with a common destiny. – The Earth Charter

A Career in Shamanu: Earth Wisdom Teachings™

While it provides many needed services, what is taught is primarily focused on human well-being, missing the essential ingredient of our interconnection within the web of Life. People are feeling more stressed, unhealthy, disconnected and time-deficient than ever before. There is a great need for those who embody a spirituality that exemplifies the truth of our oneness. Who can guide others into this soul connection and the joy of fulfilling their part within the greater Earth Community.
