Do the lush, green lands of Ireland call to you with their healing energies of the ancestors… ancient Gods and Goddesses… and the Bards, Druids, and fairies of Celtic history and lore?

These energies, the stories of these lands, and the practices inspired by Celtic shamanism offer us a medicine to bring us back home… to our true Self.

They help us reach beyond the mundane and overwhelm of our stressful modern lives and be more attentive, present, and receptive to the beauty and wisdom of the land…

Shamanic teacher and healer Jane Burns will help you discover myth and ritual to evoke the ancient medicine of Celtic shamanism —and open you to the wonder, wisdom, and wildness of both the natural world and your own inner landscape — during this spiritual growth training, The Gifts of Celtic Shamanism: Living from Gratitude, Courage, Generosity & Wonder.

What You'll Learn During “The Gifts of Celtic Shamanism” Training

The myths, archetypes, and practices unique to this ancient tradition remind us of the courage needed to explore all that’s before us… the Earth with all its beauty and rough places… the Otherworld and its inhabitants, the Fae… and our own deep, and often dark, inner landscapes.

When we learn to approach our lives with less fear and more curiosity and gratitude, we can slow down enough to open to the wisdom all around us, including the true desires of our souls.

We can shed the “false selves” we’ve acquired over the years and reclaim our sovereignty — what Celtic wisdom describes as being in right standing with the Earth, the heavens, and your own soul. It means knowing your place in the world and standing firmly in it.

Jane, who is Irish-Scottish, has more than 20 years of experience in psychic and medical intuition, energy medicine, and past-life regression therapy — including studying with Tom Cowan, a world-renowned and highly respected authority on Celtic shamanism.

She has also studied core shamanism and soul retrieval… and received shamanic teacher training with acclaimed shamanism teacher Sandra Ingerman.

Frequently Asked Questions About Celtic Shamanism Training

Because there are many forms of Shamanism, it is common to have questions specifically about Celtic Shamanism. Here's some answers to some of those questions.

What Is Celtic Shamanism?

Celtic Shamanism embodies a spiritual tapestry woven from the ancient wisdom and practices of the Celts, deeply rooted in their reverence for nature, the unseen realms, and the interconnectedness of all existence. It is a spiritual path that harmonizes the earthly and spiritual planes, inviting seekers to rediscover their sovereignty, rekindle their bond with the land, and embrace the sacred essence within. At its core, Celtic Shamanism is a holistic system of beliefs and practices that bridge the material and spiritual worlds, offering guidance for those on a quest for deeper connection and meaning.

Central to Celtic Shamanism is the belief in the interconnectedness of all life forms. It honors the cycles of nature, acknowledging the inherent wisdom in the ebb and flow of seasons, the dance of birth, death, and rebirth evident in the natural world. Shamans within the Celtic tradition act as intermediaries between the visible and invisible realms, fostering relationships with Celtic Gods and Goddesses, ancestors, Bards, Druids, and Faeries. They channel healing energies, seek guidance, and navigate the unseen realms to restore balance and harmony within the self and the community.

Rituals, myths, storytelling, and a deep reverence for the land constitute the fabric of Celtic Shamanism. The Celtic Medicine Wheel, a sacred tool, serves as a guiding compass, delineating virtues, challenges, and opportunities for living an honorable and meaningful life. These teachings often emphasize the importance of self-discovery, sovereignty, and aligning with one's soul's purpose. Celtic Shamanism celebrates music as a conduit to the divine, recognizing its power to cultivate peace, harmony, and connection with the Otherworld. Ultimately, it's a transformative journey of self-realization, inviting seekers to reclaim their true essence, align with the rhythms of nature, and live authentically in harmony with the unseen forces that shape existence.

How Is Celtic Shamanism Different From Other Shamanic Paths?

Celtic Shamanism, amidst the vibrant tapestry of shamanic traditions worldwide, sings a melody unique to the verdant hills and ancient lore of the Celtic lands. Its distinctive essence lies in the sacred dance it shares with nature, an intimate embrace with the rhythms of the Earth. Unlike other traditions, Celtic Shamanism weaves its spiritual fabric intricately with the stories of Celtic Gods, the whispers of the Faeries, and the haunting ballads of Bards, instilling a profound connection to the land and its unseen realms.

At its heart, Celtic Shamanism embodies a quest for sovereignty—a quest less about dominion and more about alignment. This path reveres personal empowerment, weaving threads of divinity and purpose into every step. While rooted in universal shamanic principles, its vibrant hues paint a canvas adorned with the beauty, wisdom, and sovereignty uniquely interwoven within the landscapes and folklore of the Celtic realms.

What is the Role of Music and Storytelling in Celtic Shamanism?

Music and storytelling emerge as celestial threads stitching together the fabric of the spiritual journey. Music, believed to be a gift from the gods, breathes life into the unseen, resonating with the vibrations of the Otherworld. These harmonies, whether joyful or sorrowful, act as ancient keys unlocking doors to higher planes, harmonizing the discordant notes within our souls. The melodies, much like the Celtic winds, carry us closer to the divine, uplifting our spirits, and guiding our dance through the mysteries of existence.

Storytelling, a cherished art passed down through generations, paints vivid portraits of the Gods and Goddesses, the whispers of the Faeries, and the heroic feats of Druids and Bards. These tales, more than mere narratives, are vessels transporting us across the thresholds of understanding. They illuminate the pathways to deeper wisdom, embedding ancient truths within the fabric of our consciousness. Through music and storytelling, Celtic Shamanic practices become hymns of remembrance, beckoning us to rediscover our essence and reclaim our place within the grand tapestry of creation.

How Does Celtic Shamanism Address Healing Physically and Spiritually?

Celtic Shamanism, with its gentle embrace of the Earth's rhythms and ancient wisdom, offers a tapestry of healing that resonates across both physical and spiritual realms. At its core, this sacred tradition recognizes the interconnectedness of all existence, fostering a holistic approach to well-being. Its healing modalities, deeply rooted in the land's energies, echo the whispers of the ancient Bards and the wisdom of Druids, offering remedies that extend far beyond the physical body.

Within the embrace of Celtic Shamanism, healing becomes a symphony of harmonies woven between the seen and unseen worlds. It dances along the edges of the tangible and intangible, recognizing that ailments, whether physical or spiritual, often echo the disharmony within our souls. The rituals, the blessings, and the sacred rites are not mere gestures but pathways to restoration, inviting us to commune with the energies of the Earth, the healing hands of the Gods and Goddesses, and the unseen forces that guide us toward wholeness. In this sacred dance of healing, Celtic Shamanism reminds us that true wellness springs forth when body, mind, and spirit find alignment in the song of the universe.

How Does Celtic Shamanism View the Interconnectedness of All Beings?

At its heart, this sacred tradition hums a melodious truth: the threads of existence are interwoven in a divine symphony, each note resonating in harmony with the other. It recognizes that within every dew-kissed leaf, every sacred stone, and every beating heart, lies a spark of the eternal—the interconnected essence that unites us in a cosmic dance.

In the realms of Celtic Shamanism, the interconnectedness of all beings is not merely a philosophical concept but a living, breathing reality—a truth etched into the very fabric of existence. It's an understanding that our destinies are intertwined, our spirits entwined in a sacred communion with the land, the creatures that roam upon it, and the forces that guide our journey. This tradition gently beckons us to honor the sacredness within ourselves and others, inviting us to partake in the reverent dance of unity, where the whispers of the wind echo the harmonies of our collective soul.

Engaging in group practices within this realm invites a communion of spirits, a weaving of intentions, where each soul becomes a thread in the grand tapestry of interconnectedness.

These sacred circles, where Bards spin their tales and Druids chant their incantations, hold space for healing, celebration, and collective wisdom to flourish. Whether through ritualistic ceremonies or communal storytelling, the essence of community practices in Celtic Shamanism lies in the shared resonance of spirits—the harmonious song that emerges when hearts beat in unison. It is within these sacred circles that the spirits align, weaving a luminous web of interconnected souls, nurturing a collective awakening to the whispers of the land and the wisdom of the unseen realms.
