The Healing Power of Somatic Shamanism: Embodying Divine Connection


Tree of Life Temple Blog banner 1

At Sacred Ashram Ministries, we value the profound impact of holistic spiritual practices. Our esteemed partners at Tree of Life Temple have developed an exceptional course that embodies this approach: Somatic Shamanism. This 12-week journey weaves together foundational Andean shamanic practices and modern somatic therapy techniques, offering a unique pathway to spiritual and physical integration.




What is Somatic Shamanism?


Somatic Shamanism is a comprehensive 12-week course designed to align the body, mind, and soul. It integrates ancient Andean shamanic rituals with deep somatic practices, rooted in contemporary somatic therapy teachings. This holistic approach addresses a crucial aspect often neglected in traditional spiritual teachings—the body.


Historically, spirituality has predominantly focused on the mind and soul, often sidelining the body. Some teachings even portray the body as a mere vessel or a temporary "skin suit." While there is a grain of truth in this perspective, it overlooks the profound role our physical form plays in our spiritual journey. Our body is not a prison but a precious gift, capable of facilitating significant energetic transformations at every level of our being.





The Core Belief of Somatic Shamanism


The foundation of Somatic Shamanism is the belief that our bodies are key to the lessons we incarnate to learn on Earth. By collaborating with our bodies respectfully and mindfully, we can catalyze substantial shifts in our personal and collective realities. This course equips participants with tools to become aware of, take responsibility for, and transform subconscious beliefs, and to embrace the full spectrum of human emotions without repression or judgment.


Course Structure and Content


The 12-week course includes:

- 12 Live Weekly Calls: Each call focuses on teachings and practices, lasting approximately 90 minutes.

- 6 Bi-Weekly Q&A and Integration Calls: These additional calls provide opportunities for deeper exploration and understanding.

- **Pre-Recorded Practices and Written Handouts:** Participants have lifetime access to these materials, ensuring continuous learning and practice.


The live calls foster a sense of community, which is vital for relational work. While attendance in live sessions is encouraged, recordings are available for those who cannot attend in real time. A private Telegram chat group facilitates ongoing connection, questions, and experience sharing among participants.


The Journey Within


Somatic Shamanism emphasizes the importance of our physical bodies in our spiritual journey. This course is for anyone inhabiting a body—essentially, anyone reading this. It is particularly beneficial for those seeking a deeper connection with their higher selves, the power to consciously create their reality, and the ability to navigate life with health, vitality, and embodied presence.


Our bodies are the homes of our souls. Just as we cherish and care for our physical homes, we must learn to love and care for our bodies. Through Somatic Shamanism, participants will learn to honor their physical form, leading to a harmonious union of body, mind, and soul. This divine alignment enables us to step into our natural role as conscious creators of our reality, living in harmony with Earth.


A Lifelong Commitment


It is essential to understand that Somatic Shamanism is not a quick fix. This work is relational and ongoing, much like any meaningful relationship. The teachings provided are timeless, meant to be practiced repeatedly. With consistent practice, participants will witness a gradual but profound transformation in their reality.


Energy Exchange and Registration


The course requires a sacred reciprocity of $1222, covering 18 live calls, lifetime access to recordings, downloadable somatic practice recordings, and written handouts. This investment reflects the comprehensive nature and lasting impact of the teachings.
