Sacred Journey in Personal Mastery
“There is something in us that has nothing to do with night and day,
Diamonds which come from no earthly mine.”
Rumi
Next training begins on Fall Equinox
September 23, 2011
Sacred Journey in Personal Mastery is the first year of a two year course in contemporary shamanism for the new world. The first year of shamanic studies lays the foundation within the individual student of personal integrity, strength and personal healing and balancing to prepare to serve the needs of the people as we move through the end of one world paradigm and the beginning of the new world paradigm. The second year in the two year training prepares you to practice professionally, to share your gifts and talents as a shaman, spiritual teacher and healer. The two years form a complete program.
The first year can be taken by itself for personal inquiry, exploration and growth. The first year is a required prerequisite for the second year, Path of Fire, which is professional training in using your unique gifts and talents to serve the world. The ability of a shaman to serve the people is based on their own integrity and power and their ability to maintain their personal strength and balance. Please be assured that the world does need you and that you have a unique and irreplaceable part to play on the planet during these intense and unprecedented times of transition. You are one of the midwives for a whole new world! There is no outside super force that is directing this world or choosing what it will be for us. While there is no doubt that we have limitless and incredibly loving and powerful support from spirit, WE are the ones who will use the power of our minds and our hearts to create this new world. WE are the ones who will ground the new energy frequencies, co-create the new structures and forms. WE are the new mothers and fathers of a future history. You are well equipped to fulfill your amazing part in this adventure!
Whatever spiritual beliefs you hold valuable as you begin this shamanic training, you will likely find strengthened, matured and expanded as you do this training. We have no religion or belief system to give you. Whichever one(s) you have been guided to at this point on your path is perfect for you. The Institute for Noetic Sciences (human consciousness studies and research - see links page) reported on a poll in 2010 that shows that Americans are doing a tremendous amount of personalizing their spiritual and religious beliefs and practices. We respect and support you on your personal path. To be sure, you will find this work challenging to what you know and think is real. But YOU are 100% responsible for your own growth and experiences. There are no gurus here. This is ultimately up to you. We will create a shamanic learning environment and you will have your own unique experiences. We look forward to your sharing them with us because we are going to learn from you as much as you learn from us!
The program will accept only 12 committed students per year.

Shamanism and this course, Sacred Journey in Personal Mastery,
are based on personal integrity and commitment
Personal commitment
Sacred Journey in Personal Mastery is highly personal and experiential. We do a good deal of personal process work. We will work with your life and the areas of your life - health, relationships, career, self concept. The course is challenging and your life will be transformed. Not fixed (you're not broken so you don't need fixing); not perfect (you're already perfect in Truth) - TRANSFORMED.
What a great course to get ready for the new world that begins in 2012!
(or thereabouts) We're planning one amazing interdimensional adventure for Winter Solstice 2012 and you're invited!
Time commitment
Sacred Journey in Personal Mastery meets together in person as a group for one weekend per month (Friday evening through Sunday 5 PM) Four of those weekends are long weekends where we go on retreat - two weekends retreat at the beach (St. George Island) and two weekends in the mountains (Lookout Mountain in northeast Alabama.) You will be doing daily practice transforming your life in between our group weekends.
Financial commitment
Tuition is $1600.00 for 12 months. A monthly payment plan of $135.00 per month with no interest is available. There are other minimal expenses involved in the program: required books and students share the retreat costs (which we have found makes the extra cost of travel, food and lodging for retreats very affordable when divided among the twelve students)
A Master Teacher joins us
We have found that each group of students is specially called together by Spirit to work with each other, with Pamela, and with a spiritual master teacher who joins each group. We never know who the master teacher will be! They just show up when they're ready to - and usually in a dramatic entrance!
WHO do you think is summoning their students for this upcoming Sacred Journey in Personal Mastery? Especially since my work has evolved to so much higher a level than I was more than a decade ago when I last led these trainings? We had had harmonic convergence back then but we didn't know anything about 2012 and were just beginning to get glimpses of the whole new world coming? And now it's right around the corner, if not here already as some think.
Sacred Journey in Personal Mastery is the first year of a two year training in contemporary shamanism for the new world. Path of Fire, the second year course, is optional but a logical extension since shamanism is about serving the people and the planet. Path of Fire is a year long professional preparation in assuming your position to serve in the new world - the new 26,000 year yuga cycle. You become clearer about your soul purpose and identify your unique gifts and talents and interests toward the end of Sacred Journey in Personal Mastery. Life is no longer about having to go to work and earn a living. It is about bringing forth and sharing your talents; living and expressing your passions.
You may know that you have guidance to take the two year course at the very beginning - or not. Proceed at your own pace. Studying shamanism is all about asking for, receiving, and acting on your own personal guidance. This is your path and your life and this is between you and Spirit.
Please also note that the two year shamanic training is part of the seminary program offered by Awakening: A Center for Positive Living. If you have any sense of being called to an inter-faith independent ministry, please review the Ministerial Services and Seminary pages on this web site. (To be posted at a later date) We are not a formal church or religion, nor are we going to create one. Pamela is an independent minister-at-large. We see this as an increasingly viable professional option in the new world paradigm, where spiritual teachers play valid roles but religions become less meaningful to many people. Awakening offers a high quality, professional training program for independent new thought ministers who will serve the people's spiritual needs in the new paradigm
