Shamanic Rebirth /Embodied Shamanism - Certified Shamanic Practitioner

Are you ready for the journey of a lifetime?

Many of us incarnated at this time in human history, to be the leaders, the change makers... the healers..

Embodied Shamanism is calling you to:

  • Dive deep into Shamanic practices, connect to your spirit guides, discover & remember your unique Shamanic gifts

  • Step into your own power and magic by becoming an accredited Shamanic Practitioner, recognised by the IPHM

  • Learn life changing shamanic skills, how to create rituals and ceremonies - so you can serve your communities, learn to hold space for yourself and your clients

This programme is an Initiation, it will change the very fabric of your being and how you see the world around you.

It's not New Age spirituality, this will help you discern, practice spiritual hygiene and protection so that you can safely navigate the shamanic realm

This life changing shamanic training begins at Samhain (Summer's End) and ends in August 2026 - just after Lughnasagh (Lammas)

What Graduates are saying...

Yasmin, Student 2023

My mission is to remind you of your inherent magical nature & multidimensional power. I am a guide to you, ordinary yet extraordinary humans to step fully into your magic.

To be lovingly guided on this wild shamanic path. To have spiritual experiences that are magical and life changing , rooted in somatic and embodiment practices, with lots of time for integration..

Your power is calling; your animal body growls, your inner shaman beats their drum, your spirit guides are looking down urging you to take the leap; can you feel them?

No more hiding, no more people pleasing, no more minimising yourself to fit into a shape made for someone else.

Your shamanic clan is calling you home.

We’re meant to live together, harmonised in our own masculine and feminine essence, in service to Mother Earth. We’re meant to walk this path together.

Embodied Shamanism is designed to gather you in; to your inner magical ecosystem, to your fellow human, plant, animal & spirit kin.

CALLING ALL SPIRITUAL SEEKERS & ANCIENT WISDOM CARRIERS INTO REMEMBRANCE

An introduction to your Guide and the course

I’m Dawn Love a shamanic transformational guide, breathwork facilitator, energy/oracle healer and kundalini yoga teacher. I guide people to remember their unique gifts, their soul's magic and access the magic of shamanism. I live in Durham, I'm mother of two wild children..

My awakening began as a huge Kundalini activation in 2018 which manifested as a mental health breakdown. Before my awakening I was a functional alcoholic, full of imposter syndrome, not comfortable in my own skin, people pleaser...

Since then I left a corporate job in London and have dedicated my life to healing, growing and learning.

I started offering this programme as 'The Shamanic Initiation' back in 2022 after the integration of my own Shamanic studies working with different teachers from different lineages.

As I've grown, it's become clear that spiritual experiences need firm ground to land & come home to - in our beautiful earthly bodies. So 'Embodied Shamanism' was born; weaving magic, shamanic practices & somatics to build strong roots that support you to integrate Spirit's wisdom.

Being on The Shamanic Path has transformed my life, I feel more powerful, in touch with myself,  nature and spirit.  And I'm so excited to be on this journey with you... 

FAQS

I'm interested, what're the next steps? How do I sign up?

I'm excited that you're interested! The next steps are to complete the application form:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdsSfnTGtmDeTP3GbN_oDYfgNOSCoK77kiagyIsiiwy_Sk4Gg/viewform?usp=header

Then we will have a short 1:1 call to touch base together & for you to ask any further questions. We'll both get to feel into how it would be journeying with each other in this deep work.

I'm new to Shamanism - is Embodied Shamanism the right course for me?

Yes!  Prior experience of shamanism is not required as you will be guided through the process of connecting to the Medicine wheel and how to journey safely, step by step.   

However, please read the information above about having a level of spiritual maturity and ability to look after your own self-care.   

For example Embodied Shamanism is not suitable for anyone with severe & active mental health symptoms. It's advised for you to be in touch with a therapist regardless, especially if you have a history of CPTSD. You need to be able to care for yourself as some of the sessions are deep and may be triggering. 

The sessions are supported with love, the highest protection and I am always available if you need extra support.   

You also need to be able to commit to a daily practice (e.g. breathwork, meditation and in later stages of the course, shamanic journeys).  This will help you integrate the teachings and be able to journey more deeply (e.g. accessing the theta part of your brain)

Please book a call with me if it feels aligned!  

I only accept people onto the programme who I have connected with and feel a full body YES.  Embodied Shamanism goes deep.  It's exciting, it's magic but you need to be ready... 

What is Shamanism and what's the difference between Shamanism and other practices say witchcraft or druidism ?

This is something I wondered myself earlier in my journey.

Shamanism (we were called Awenydd) in ancient Briton is very connected to nature, the earth's cycles.

We create our own rituals, meditations and practices.  It's a path of service to the earth and  communities.

It's also at it's root about humility, owning our shadows and not giving our power away to structures, systems, people, teachings.

Becoming connected to Great Spirit (God) and Mother Earth.  Holy Mother, Holy Father. 

The Shamanic Path also involves the process of ego death, many cycles of death and rebirth!

Remembering the old ways, connecting to the elementals and elemental magic, the original joy and innocence of life.   

Ancient Britons were revolutionary, independent, wild and connected to the Earth, the earth grids.  Wisdom keepers of the earth, the dragons, the golden serpent energy.

Wicca/Witchcraft 

Modern Witchcraft/ Wicca teaching can involve set rituals, spells and may draw from practices via Gerald Gardner the 'grandfather' of modern Wiccan

Green/Hedge/White Witchery is different, deeply connected to the earth, the goddesses, elementals, herbs and shamanism.

Many of us (myself included) will have had past lives or ancestors who were persecuted/killed as witches, just for our connection to nature, midwifery, or practising herbal medicine so may feel affected by 'The Witch Wound'. 

Druidism

Druidism is an ancient pagan religion, connected to the Earth, the wheel of the year and many ancient practices.  There are many similarities with Ancient Druidism to Shamanism.

Modern Druidism began to develop about three hundred years ago during a period known as the ‘Druid Revival’

Shamanism

Is not a religion.  It's a way of life that follows no doctrine, no Guru, no hierarchy and gives you the tools and helps you open yourself up (in a very safe way as protection is paramount) to find your own connection to magic, Great Spirit, Mother Earth, our gifts, the land, the sacred places.. ..

What are my qualifications/training?

I hold a degree and Masters from my old life!  I spent over 15 years in construction, project management, sustainability and environmental management in a corporate environment.   

After a spontaneous Kundalini awakening which began in 2018, I've been on a fast track healing and activation.  It's been intense!   

Since the awakening I trained as a Kundalini Yoga teacher, Breathwork facilitator, and did a 9 month long apprenticeship in Core Shamanism in 2020 (online), plus other shamanic modules with different teachers in person and online.  I have trained with five different shamanic practitioners in various courses and programmes, taking from various lineages.

In 2022, I joined another transformational programme (Oracle of Sophia) which was a next level initiation! This helped me understand about False Light and helped me reconnect to God/Great Spirit and put my shamanic skills in a wider multidimensional awareness of the world and understanding of the planet. 

I bring the magic of everything I have learned along the way, as well as my own medicine, journeys creations, rituals, downloads and inspiration from Spirit. 

What's my Shamanic Lineage?

My ancestors were Celtic and I hold deep ancestral wisdom of the land, the sacred places in Britain.  This wisdom is continually awakening within me.  

I am a grid worker (healer and guardian of the land), connected to dragon energy.  

I hold Sophianic energy (Grail Queen) connected to Upper World Guides - Isis, Joan of Arc, White Buffalo Woman. The White Buffalo Woman connection comes from a past life connection with the Lakota tribe in North America. 

Unfortunately we don't live tribally anymore in a shamanic way, to learn from elders or shamans in the tribe.  In the UK and other parts of Europe, our severance with our lineage may be thousands of years or multiple generations.  

We have our own shamanic clan who exist in the lower world (Shamanic Realm) to support our Initiation.  And we can connect to our magical ancestors shamanically to remember our lost gifts and reclaim what we have lost... 

In this Initiation I will take you through the process of deep magic and Initiation so you can connect to your Shamanic clan and your lineage... 

Can Shamanism be taught online, is it as powerful?

Absolutely yes! 

I didn't think it was possible beforehand, however my shamanic initiation began mid-Pandemic so the training I had booked on had to be online (we met in person to complete the training but I preferred the online elements) 

I then completed a 9 month shamanic apprenticeship which was all online.  I found to be so powerful and activating.

This will be the fourth time I have taught this course (it gets better each time, evolves and grows as the medicine weaves through me) and people have had really deep experiences and changed their lives from the programme. 

The course is a combination of live classes/teachings/activations and guided journeys which you do in your own time.

There's also a group support via Telegram, and if you need any extra support throughout the programme you can reach out to me.  

You also receive access to recorded content from previous cohorts & offerings of mine, including kundalini yoga, breathwork ceremonies, so you are supported mind body and spirit for the next 9 months...
