WHAT DOES 'VITALIST' MEAN?
Vital is the Life Force that is within EVERYTHING, Soul, Energy, Prana, Chi, hence this course is called the Vitalist Shamanic Course as it honours the psychic connection of all that is within a modern (neo-shamanic, non attached to any specific culture) and is therefore 'Neo' and multi cultural. This course uses wisdom from many Ancient and Wise Traditions including:
NATIVE AMERICAN SHAMANISM Where Cara was given her Shamanic Name 'Shining Hawk' by her Shamanka 'Lynne' from the Flowering Tree Shamanic School, 1991, who passed on her traditional 'Native American' Shamanic knowledge and wisdom to Cara in oral and Ceremonial tradition.
EASTERN EUROPEAN SHAMANISM which Cara studied for many years to connect with her Germanic Shamanic Roots, known as 'Folkes, Of the People', of which Eastern European Shamanism is said to have its deeper roots in 'Mongolian Shamanic Practice', from where the actual word 'Shaman' originated
EASTERN SHAMANISM Cara's Training in Eastern Shamanism is a smelting pot of cultural knowledge from Chinese and Indian Practices all stemming from 'Shamanic Internal Arts practices' which include: Folk Shamanism of the East: Sound Healing with Tingsha, Bowls and Gongs (all originally Shamanic), Qigong and Yoga (the Rishi's were Shamanic and nomadic) and where the cross over of knowledge happened from Eastern Europe, to Tibet to the East, as Cara will teach Shamanic practice is GLOBAL and CONNECTED.
PERUVIAN SHAMANISM Cara has trained in different aspects of Peruvian Shamanism including 'Closing the Bones' Trauma Releasing Ceremonies
As a Shamanic Practitioner of 'many threads (cultures and practices) all weaving the same colourful carpet' I am aware that everything is infinitely pulsing with life and connected on the web of life, everything has its very own 'vitalism', or Anima (Soul) and it is within this understanding that the Vitalist Shamanic Practitioner works beautifully, by understanding the basic elements of life, and the basic 'Truths of Nature' and Shamanism that the foundations of this training course are built, we are not bound be one type of Shamanism, but celebrate everything coming together in oneness - Cara Bianca, Shining Hawk (The White Path)
You will learn to REWILD yourself, connect with NATURE like never before, understand your SHADOW AND LIGHT and be able to HEAL with these new found tools
Learning about the PLANT KINGDOM
Connecting the UPPER HEAVENLY REALM and the LOWER WORLD of the Mineral, plant, flower, animal kingdoms together in UNISON
The VITALIST SHAMANIC WISDOM TRAINING will give you a grounded multi dimensional training in the Art of Modern Shamanism
