Autumn Class Session Starting 9/11 2010 at ShamansCave!

The 21st session of online classes, held on a private server, in our tradition will be starting soon (check each class for details). Classes will be taught by Niteshad, the author of this site and others who have been trained by him. The classes offer an opportunity to study various aspects of shamanic practice and meet online once a week for approximately 1 ½ hours. Material is presented, along with an exercise and questions are welcome.

We teach these classes actively encouraging people's participation. An edited log is available after each class for review. We also provide an exclusive Class Forum Site in which anyone who has taken a particular class can talk about what they're experiencing, ask questions, discuss topics or read about student's personal experiences. We also have a private Class Chat Room that's open 24/7 where you can meet with the faculty as they're available or other students for discussions.

The Introductory Classes for this session are: Recapitulation – A Journey of Self Healing, Dreaming I – Learning to dream actively, Quicksilver - Handling the energy of perception (offered as an afternoon class eastern time U.S.)

Special Quicksilver Class Offered for European Students!

Due to a number of requests we're pleased to announce a special class for Quicksilver - Handling the energy of perception. Since our classes are generally offered in the evenings Eastern time in the U.S. it has been difficult for those in Europe would would like to take a class, so we are offering this at an alternate time to accommodate those that wish to take a beginning class at Shamanscave.

"A shaman without the gift is nothing, but the gift is nothing without the work"

Shamanism is a popular subject these days, often defined more by disagreement than actual information. Each person brings to their study of shamanism a unique mixture of expectation and desire, but shamanism itself remains a mystery to most.

These web pages are dedicated to those who are driven to seek understanding of their experiences. ShamansCave is devoted to Contemporary Shamanism, functioning in the modern world and understanding in ways that are of practical use to those who must walk this path. The information about shamanism contained on these pages is a reflection of real experience and work.

ShamansCave is a community, one which covers a number of continents, yet functions to provide information and help to those still discovering the nature of their own tasks in the world of shamanism. Walk with us a while through these pages, through this information and if you're so inclined, take one of our classes. Our hope is that it serves you in some way to see more clearly your own experience and the path that lies before you.
