Other Experts Teaching Peak States Related
Courses
Shamanism
We
are fortunate that occasionlly various experts in related
fields either teach courses for us, or teach courses that
are relevant and useful for our students and certified
therapists.
Training in
shamanism can be useful for therapists working with peak
states of consciousness and healing. In particular, an
affiliate of the Institute, Wes Gietz in Canada
occasionally teaches a course that teaches shamanism from a
peak states perspective. In the USA, Tom Brown Jr. teaches
an excellent series of classes containing the same or
similar material. We highly recommend these teachers and
their material.
Shamanism as related to peak states taught by Wes
Gietz in Canada (www.Windwalker.ca). Based on
the work of Tom Brown Jr. and John Young. These and
other classes not listed are regularly scheduled.

Shamanism and Peak
States: Awareness - the Journey of the Healer
Taught by Wes Gietz
‘Awareness
is the doorway to the world of spirit’
Stalking Wolf
This course is designed primarily for graduates of ISPS
training to teach them the shamanic power and techniques of
native healers. As Wes points out in his chapter in Peak
States of Consciousness Volume 2, giving people tools to
rapidly transform themselves without the years of self
mastery and practice required of more traditional methods
is potentially a problem. It is also a limiting factor for
those wanting to go onto advanced ISPS training as the
ability to navigate alternate dimensions and ways of seeing
might not have been developed.
A variety of Native American techniques will be used in the
training to support the development of the healer. In
particular an expanded sense of physical awareness will be
used to transition from physical to spiritual awareness. In
so doing, participants will create their own ‘good
medicine’ place.
Wes has studied and practised natural skills and beliefs
for over forty years, with pauses as required by the
necessities of love and life. He has been taught by Tom
Brown Jr. and Native teachers the skills of survival and
living, awareness, and philosophy, the ceremonies of daily
life, and the ceremonies and responsibilities of the sweat
lodge. He honors them by using these ways and keeping them
for the generations yet to be born, and has taught them in
workshops and at gatherings since 1993. He also worked
extensively in the early days with Grant developing ISPS
techniques.
