Online Shamanic Practitioner Training Course
This is a powerful and in-depth shamanic practitioner training that involves learning and practicing ancient ways. The course is designed to take participants through the initiations of the shamanic path and teach the healing work of a shamanic practitioner. Participants will work with spirit guides and teachers of the light, to become the bridge between the worlds and bring the spiritual light into the physical reality.
The course will be taught online. To ensure that people are present and attentive in the sessions, we ask that people keep their videos on during all the teachings. We have limited participation to a maximum of six new people and two people who wish to repeat the course. Our intention is to create a cohesive and supportive
circle that will come together as one tribe and one heart.
The course will cover: cord cutting and dismemberment, ceremony, power retrieval, soul retrieval, shamanic journeying and divination, shamanic healing, shamanic transfiguration and medicine for the Earth, death and dying, de-possession, extraction, moon and sun rites and shamanic re-birthing. It is a comprehensive course offering a strong foundation for shamanic practice.
The whole course is taught as a one year ceremony. It is much more than sharing information and techniques.
We will be riding a shamanic wave on a journey home to ourselves. We hope that the ceremony will carry
everyone to a new depth and inner understanding, within and outside the times we meet.
Shamanic Teacher Fotoula Adrimi
Fotoula was born into the Adrimi family in Greece (Adrimi means of the Oak tree). As a child, Fotoula was intrigued by the local ceremonies of bone divination and full moon rituals that originate from ancient Greece.
When the shamanic path called her, Fotoula had a spiritual awakening. Since then she has studied and travelled intensively, training in shamanism with Sandra Ingerman and indigenous shamans from various traditions (Native American, Himalayan, Peruvian, Toltec). She has also retrieved many of the old ceremonies and stories from her living elders and ancestral spirits.
Fotoula is highly experienced in teaching the shamanic ways and radiates the light of compassion to her students. She has been holding weekly shamanic circles and workshops since 2009 and teaching shamanic practitioners since 2012. As a practitioner herself, Fotoula has been working with clients since 2007 and has helped hundreds of people. Fotoula is the author of the best selling book: The Golden Book of Wisdom: Ancient Spirituality and Shamanism in Modern Times.

About the Online Shamanic Practitioner Course
To graduate as a shamanic practitioner participants need to complete all modules and casework, and attend the graduation ceremony. This is a commitment each participant makes with the wise spirits/guardians of these ancient teachings. The course teaches the methods but it is up to participants and their wise spirit teachers to develop the art. No-one can make us a practitioner. It is an inner calling and a gift from spirit to the person.
Once you sign up, changes may take place to align you with your path and soul's calling. Places on the course are limited to six new participants. If you are interested in the Practitioner's course email Fotoula as soon as possible: info@isis-school.com
In addition, there are also two spaces available for anyone who has already completed the Shamanic Practitioner Course with The ISIS School of Holistic Health, and wishes to repeat the course.

Training as a Shamanic Practitioner
A shamanic practitioner is someone who is willing to step into the unknown and surrender to the River of Life and Divine Will
Shamanism has been practiced for thousands of years. As the veils between the worlds become thinner, in these times, many people are drawn to the ancient spirituality of Mother Earth and Father Sky.
Shamanism is a lifetime practice. It is a vocation, an inner calling, a way of life. When the calling comes, either in our heart or through a spiritual experience, Fotoula, as a teacher, can help you navigate the spiritual planes and teach you how can harness your inherent shamanic gifts. Through the training as a shamanic practitioner, you have the opportunity to grow personally and spiritually and if you choose to, become a vessel of spiritual power and light that can help other people, as well as your community.
At the same time, a practitioner needs to be grounded. Unless the practice is based in the present and everyday reality, it has little value.
Rather than teaching individual modules, we offer an in-depth training that will cover the aspects that you need
for your work. Our teaching includes theory, but it is experiential. You will learn through group work, individual practice, initiations, ritual and ceremony.
Some Topics Covered – based on Classic Core Shamanism
Power Retrieval and Introduction: We will cover the three shamanic worlds, the three times, as well as experiential practice of shamanic healing and working with the animal spirits in alternative realities. Participants also learn to retrieve power and life-force for clients through journeying.
In Medicine for the Earth and Shamanic Healing with Spiritual Light we ally with the four elements, perform space clearing and experience our own radiance through the light of our essence, the shamanic transfiguration.
Soul Retrieval in the cornerstone of shamanic healing and practiced widely across the globe by indigenous shamans. We learn to retrieve other peoples' soul essence, remember our intention for incarnating and release
the soul essence we have carried that belongs to other people.
Shamanic Extraction is a way to extract energetic intrusions from the body of your client and neutralise them,
A big part of our work is being the psychopomp, helping those who are in the process of dying or have died but could not cross through the veil. You will learn about the soul's journey after death, the rebirth in the spiritual realms and how to support people who are grieving. We also work with de-possession. This is the work of Death and Dying.
Ceremonial work focuses on working with Mother Earth, the Wheel, the sun and moon and astral energies.
We see ourselves as part of the Earth and Nature and at the same time we are the cosmic traveller.
Shamanic Birthing and Rebirthing initiates a new beginning on our path of life. A wonderful way of working
to heal our own birthing into the world and to connect once more to our intention for incarnating.
Supporting your Work – having a Spiritual Shamanic Practice
In committing to walk the shamanic path, you open yourself to spiritual beings of light and it is important to work with integrity and for the highest good. It is also important to practice.
Below are some suggestions for people who wish to focus on, and take ownership of their shamanic path:
-
Practice shamanic journeying once a week.
-
Have a regular daily spiritual practice that helps calm the conditioned mind. This could be meditation, mantra chanting, time in nature, ritual, ceremony etc. It may be different for each person.
-
Continue personal development through inner work. Shamanism is a path where we embrace our vulnerability, open our heart and work with integrity and love. As we walk this path, issues and patterns will come up. If we choose to acknowledge and work with the patterns they can be cleared, and we can move towards becoming 'the clear vessel' through which the light of spirit shines.
-
As we walk further along the path we will be called to: develop our integrity, and personal responsibility;
-
look at addictive behaviours and what takes us out of balance; develop self love, as well as understanding;
-
and compassion for all beings; whilst at the same time embracing our own personal power and soul purpose.
Online Shamanic Practitioner Course
One year shamanic training programme
(New Course Starts 3rd-5th Oct 2025
A shamanic practitioner is a bridge between the world of spirit and the alternative realities, and our own physical world. The practitioner crosses the bridge entering parallel universes to bring healing, life-force, guidance and deep awareness to themselves, their clients and their community.
"You are straddling the two realities, the physical and the spiritual, integrating them and bringing them to the whole."
