What you will learn: This intense one year course has been designed combining together the Toltec and the Japanese tradition of shamanism and no experience is required to attend. It will allow you to qualify as a Professional Shamanic Practitioner.  Shamanism has survived for millennia because of its effectiveness and adaptability. In some cultures it is still a reference spiritual practice, in our modern culture it is increasingly an alternative practice for healing the soul and for all health issues that cannot be solved by official science. In these times of great change, spiritual practice, done humbly but also with purpose, can transform our society.  The vision is to educate you to become a shamanic practitioner experiencing this vast and diverse healing heritage, applying it with courage and commitment in your own environment.  The term "professional" means someone who has solid experience working with other people safely and effectively. You will follow a very deep path of healing, transformation and personal empowerment necessary to work ethically and professionally in the field of shamanic healing. Through deep initiations you can open ever wider doors to the spiritual world necessary to become true channels of healing and inexhaustible sources of spiritual wisdom WHEN penultimate week-end of the month per 13months  (different dates in  December due to Christmas and April due to Easter;  break in July and August)  10am-5pm GMT time each day 20th-21st April 2024 18th-19th May 2024 22nd-23rd June 2024 21st-22nd September 2024 19th-20th October 2024 16th-17th November 2024 7th-8th December 2024 18th-19th January 2025 15th-16th February 2025 22nd-23rd March 2025 12th-13th April 2025 17th-18th May 2025 21st-22nd June 2025 You have time till the 15th May 2024 to sign up.

Sessions can happen ONLINE or IN PERSON.  Please read below to choose the session that is more appropriate for you (you'll be asked to select one in the booking process)  If you have questions please drop me an email info@schoolofshamanism.co.uk Don't worry if you do not know what to select, just come and I'll be happy to help you:-) Shamanism is probably the oldest way to see through our hearts and not our eyes to connect with the nature of our creation. It allows us to go behind and beyond the surface of things, to understand why and how certain situations occur in our lives. Shamanism is a spiritual practice that goes beyond every beliefs and culture and is about trying to reach our full potential as we walk on planet earth, so connecting ourselves to the whole. Shamans were described as the first physicians, magicians, artists, storytellers, spiritual beings. But shamans are healers that make changes in invisible realms to help healing in the ordinary reality of the community. Shamans see in the darkness (which is the meaning of the Siberian word “Shaman”) while connecting with the divine outside the time in an altered state of consciousness. We can work together using different methods: A) Shamanic healing  We can work together to solve one of these imbalances in your life, where you feel:  lost and without life purpose, unhappy and unsatisfied, anxious and worried, overwhelmed and stressed, without energy and hope, uncertain about your future, stuck in repetitive dynamics, unable to manifest abundance, incapable of making decisions,not aligned with your heart, disconnected from the universe,impatient and impulsive, not focused and balanced, with low esteem and more? B) Ikigai coaching to find your soul mission through shamanic work   Ikigai is the manifestation, the realization of who you are. It has always been with you, it is your reason for being. Some people are lucky to find a job that corresponds to their true passion. They earn a living doing what they love. But there are a lot of people that do not have such a privilege or can’t find the courage for such a big change.The Japanese people from the island of Okinawa have a word for you: Ikigai. It’s your “reason for being”, where you combine what you love with what you are good.  Ikigai is 'what makes you happy to get out of bed in the morning' and is formed by the union of two words: iki which means 'life' and gai  that  is 'what is worthwhile' which the ancients called “happiness”, your soul mission.  Our session together will be a deep inner journey, suitable for those who already know their life mission and those who have no clue at all about it or just are not aware how to combine their gifts and skills. You will reconnect with your inner voice and true skills to realize your true life mission. C) 1-1 Shamanic Divination and find your 9 power animals  Everyone has nine power or totem animals that emulate each person’s abilities, talents and challenges.  For example if a person is connected to Wolf as a power animal, that person is a born teacher, pathfinder, innovator. This does not mean that the person has acknowledged the gifts. The 9 animals are one for each of Direction (4 plus above, below, within) and two animals that walk aside you each time and that maybe have come to you in dreams for years or that you are simply drawn to. Through the use of cards, while connecting to my Spirit Allies, I will find out which animals are your main guides into your life.  Afterwards you will have the opportunity, while tuning with the 9 animals,  A) to ask a burning question. Divination does not mean to foresee future, but to tune your own wisdom to be guided about how to read your inner light simply using a stone.  You will need 3 medium/big stones with some marks on them and we will then choose 1 and I will guide you through the full process, both online or in person.  B) or to receive your full essence and symbol from me though "soul remembrance : I will undertake a shamanic journey for you to retrieve the essence of your gifts and talents and a symbol to be blown into your solar plexus. This can be done online or in person GIADA'S JOURNEY Creative and Spiritual Explorer of the human well-being running events for 20 years worldwide Shamanic Teacher *Toltec tradition: three years formal training with Two Birds at Anam Cara, Scotland *Japanese Yamabushi tradition with Selene Calloni Williams Shamanic and Integral Yoga Teacher Ikigai Coach and Forest Therapy Guide qualified with Selene Calloni Williams at the Imaginal Academy Professional Esoteric Numerologist graduated at The Connaissance School of Numerology, England Cacao Alchemist Practitioner obtained with Firetree Alchemy, Scotland Corporate Mental Health Coach achieved with WeFocus, Denmark and twenty years working in corporate Practitioner of Buddhist teachings, meditation and the Five Tibetan Rites Yoga Founder of Drink In Art exhibitions of local artists in private flats Founder of School of Shamanism (formerly Invisible Caims) workshops, classes, therapies, retreats Founder of Art and Spirituality centre for creativity and well-being Co-author of a non-profit book with 33 Italian women about our stories in different countries By attending to our classes, workshops, 1to 1 sessions and retreats you agree to our TERMS AND CONDITIONS Payment  Bookings are non-refundable.  Disclaimer  By booking any event or 1-1 session -online or  any other venues – with us, you release Giada Gaslini, Invisible Caims/School of Shamanism, Art and Spirituality and any business partners working with for the event  from any liability arising out of any personal injuries, emotional or physical release, death, expectations of results,  theft in the venue or damages that may happen to people and objects while attending.

Sacred Heart Alchemy - Cacao and Shamanic Reiki Drumming Sound Journey Come and experience sound healing with the powerful vibrations of the Reiki Drum and recalibrate your heart, mind, body, and soul, with the supportive resonance of the drum. Step out of the circle of time and into the circle of radical love – Rumi - where we join together in community and give ourselves permission to receive and nourish ourselves in sacred space! In this Sacred Heart Alchemy Cacao and Shamanic Reiki Drumming Sound Journey, I will be weaving together two of my favourite things, the heart-opening elixir of mama cacao and the primordial sound of the drum to bring us back into balance and harmony. This is a journey into the heart and together we will invite the loving medicine of mama cacao, to open our hearts and settle our minds, allowing us to tune into our hearts for guidance on what we need more of in this very moment.  We will then continue the journey deeper into our hearts whilst the sound of the drum takes us into a space of deep relaxation and recalibration. My intention for the monthly Cacao and Drumming is to tune into the season and respond to what is arising in the present moment.   Cacao and Shamanic Drumming Sound Journey Date: Saturday, 25 May 2024 Time: 14:00 - 16:30 Venue:  Santosa Wellness Centre, Edinburgh Exchange: £38.35 (+Booking Fee) There are only 10 spaces available for the ceremony, be quick to book your space! What is Cacao? Cacao is a heart-opening non-psychoactive plant medicine and is one of the many tools available that can help us tune into who we really are.   She supports us in softening our hearts so we can move from fear to love and connect with our inner wisdom.  Drinking Cacao in its purest form allows a deeper connection to ourselves our intuition and inner guidance, which leaves you loved up (with yourself), empowered, and in your heart. We will be working with delicious Peruvian ceremonial grade Criolla Cacao, directly sourced from ancient Cacao gardens in the Rio Ene Region of Peru. Drinking Cacao is optional.  Please do speak to me about other options. IMPORTANT:  If you wish to drink Cacao, please read here. [https://www.wildpoweralchemy.love/whatiscacao]   [https://www.wildpoweralchemy.love/whatiscacao]Whilst Cacao is generally safe for everyone, there are some contraindications, and it is important that you are informed. Shamanic Drumming: The rhythmical beating of a drum is one of the oldest practices of humankind and a powerful approach that promotes health and well-being.  When the body attunes to the supportive resonance of the drum, you begin to switch off and drift into deeper relaxation, assisting the body in releasing any deep-seated stress and tension and bringing the body back to its optimum vibration. Drumming has so many powerful benefits, including reducing anxiety, quietening our minds, helping us to relax and deepen our breath, helping to release old energy that has become blocked in our body and energy system, and overall, it can boost our immune system. IMPORTANT:   Drumming is safe and beneficial for most people; however, drumming is not suitable if you are pregnant, have epilepsy, have a pacemaker or have tinnitus. I look forward to sharing the magic of the drum with you! As part of growing our community, you are welcome to join me after the session for a cup of tea and cake in the coffee shop and connect. Who is Fionn: Fionn is a Shamanic Priestess with over 15 years of experience in energy work and more recently her training includes breathwork and tension/trauma release exercises (TRE).  Fionn is a certified Cacao Practitioner, Shamanic Practitioner and Reiki Teacher who has a deep passion for Cacao, Goddess Archetypes, and all things wild and free! Inspired by the power of the elements, the seasons, the moon and the sun, Fionn’s intention is to support deep personal transformation so we can reclaim our most aligned selves by slowing down and reconnecting to the natural world around us.

Why I teach a 2-day Course:  My original training in South Africa was over 12 weeks which covered Reiki 1 and 2 as well as acupressure and Qui Gong.  It was through in-depth training, that I formed a richer understanding of energy and how it works.  It gave me a deeper knowledge on the mind body connection as well as insight into myself and other people and situations in my life.  I also believe the more practical experience you gain with like-minded people, set you up to be more confident as you begin your professional practice. Reiki can be life-transforming if you commit seriously to using what you learn.  The more you connect with Reiki and the more skilled you become, the more amazed you will be at its powerful effects.   NEXT COURSE DATES IN EDINBURGH:   DATES:  1 AND 2 JUNE 2024 TIMES ON BOTH DAYS: 9AM - 5PM WITH AN HOUR'S BREAK FOR LUNCH COURSE INCLUDES: * 2 Full days of tuition * Comprehensive and informative manual * Reiki II certificate, after completion of case studies * Ongoing support and feedback on case studies submitted.
