Living into a Greater Reality:
A Course in Shamanic Spiritual Resources for Christians
Presented by the Rev. Daniel L. Prechtel, D.Min.
This highly interactive and experiential six-session course, of two hours each session, will orient participants to a shamanic understanding of reality, and how healing and discernment practices commonly used in shamanism are beneficial and complimentary to Christian living and our faith tradition.
I am very excited to offer this course online in the fall. When I was introduced to core shamanism ten years ago I found it to be a paradigm shift with profound implications for my faith life, spiritual practices, and theology. Core shamanism is not a religion, but rather it provides cross-cultural methods for entering and effectively engaging spiritual realities closed to our normal consciousness. It confirmed the mystical dimension of my Christian experience and reflected the love of God at work in our lives. I knew that many Christians could benefit from foundational assistance and guidance into the spirit dimensions of reality long known in shamanism and traditional Indigenous cultures that had been closed to our western minds for centuries.
After writing the book Soul Journeys in collaboration with two other spiritual directors, John Mabry and Katrina Leathers, on core shamanism and Christian spiritual practices I received requests from fellow Christians to learn more. I am now working on a new book that I will use as the primary text for this course.
I hope that you, and those in your circle, are interested in this project. Please feel free to share this invitation!
I will set our course session meeting times based on the availability of those who register their intention with me by mid-July to take the course this fall.

Yours in Spirit,
Daniel
