The S.H.I.P. Program is a carefully designed series of three 8-day transformative workshops over a 9-month period orchestrated to carry individuals through powerful initiatory processes. During each workshop, a portal of initiation will open and invite the participant to enter into the sacred Shamanic process of removing the obstacles that block the soul’s purpose. As these blocks to higher love and wisdom are released and soulful integration occurs, individuals are set free to stand in the truth of their authentic being and walk a path with heart.
Each of the three workshops will feature the Shamanic Breathwork™ Process, which leads the seeker to "Awaken the Shaman Within" while covering 5 major archetypal themes.

 Segment 1:June 25 - July 2, 2008
 The first initiation teaches the importance of learning how to "stay awake" and consciously move through the five cycles of change, a model developed by Star Wolf to assist with personal transformation.

Segment 2:
Sept. 19 -26,2008
 The second gathering delves deeply into becoming present by working with the past (family of origin work) and then understanding how our dark side (the shadow) is born out of our family relationships.  In this initiation we will become familiar with our whole self and prepare for the embodiment of love.

Segment 3:
January 16 - 23, 2009
 The third process teaches the principle of soul return and sacred marriage ~ reconciling the opposites that war within us.  We are then ready to open our soul to its true expression so that we can manifest our gift in the world.


This initiatory group will consist of a limited number of participants who feel called to commit themselves to the Shamanic healing initiation process with a group of like-minded kindred spirits over the course of 9 months.
Past participants have included physicians, social workers, nurses, massage therapists, reiki practitioners, and others who are interested in stepping fully into their life purpose.
At the conclusion of the three 8-day initiations, participants are eligible to receive certification as Shamanic Breathwork (tm) Initiates. Qualified individuals may also be eligible for ordination as Shamanic Ministers. Most importantly, participants are empowered to step back into their lives in their full authenticity, sharing their gifts of higher love and wisdom with those they love and the world.

If you have heard the call of the Wolf, the Teacher, the Visionary, the Inner Shaman, and wish to join us on this Powerful Journey to Embody Shamanic Consciousness in Everyday Life and Your Sacred Purpose . We welcome you to Venus Rising and onto the Path of Higher Love and Wisdom.
