Shamanic Counseling
Harner Shamanic Counseling™(HSC) is a method of problem solving and as much is appropriate for working with specific questions in one’s life, as well as issues concerning: Health (physical, mental, and emotional), Fears, Phobias, Substance abuse, Addictions and Relationships.
HSC is a method of personal empowerment wherein one comes to acquire respect for one’s own ability to obtain spiritual wisdom without relying on external mediators. It is opening up new channels of communication - channels that were once open to our ancestors but disappeared with the growth of civilization.
Clients are counseled in shamanic journeying in a series of sessions, so that they may directly seek answers to questions they have in their lives. One of the features of HSC is that the real shamanic counselors are in nonordinary reality. These are compassionate wise teachers that the clients encounter in their shamanic journeys and who provide answers to the client’s questions. The ordinary reality HSC counselor provides a safe comfortable environment, instruction, orientation, and methodological advice based upon core shamanism and shamanic journeying. Benefits of shamanic counseling: Problem-solving, Direction, Clarity, Self-Empowerment, Guidance, Healing, Spiritual Counseling, and New Perspective.
During a series of five sessions, you will perform specific journeying tasks. A session usually lasts 1.5-2hrs. Each of the 5 sessions are meant to occur consecutively, for 5 weeks. For the greatest impact, you will be asked to not partake in other journey work, drumming circles and other shamanic practices—during the 5 week process. It is also recommended to not partake in alcohol, substances, or non-medically necessitated marijuana.
5 Session Series: $600 (to be paid $120 per session)

HARNER SHAMANIC COUNSELING™
Harner Shamanic Counseling is a spiritual method, a system of shamanic counseling that follows the ancient principles of shamanism, not of psychology or of other Western systems. As a method of spiritual counseling, HSC has at its goal life-enlightenment, not the treatment of psychopathology. It is a problem-solving system for discovering one’s own spiritual power and the wisdom to deal successfully with daily life.
HSC is a copyrighted system based upon classic shamanism with the addition of certain important innovations created by Michael Harner through years of his own practice of shamanic counseling. Concepts, practices, and goals used in Harner Shamanic Counseling include: nonordinary reality; the shamanic journey and shamanic divination (both undertaken by the client); the realization of one’s own personal spiritual power; and the discovery of one’s ability to obtain extraordinary, very practical, spiritual wisdom and answers to important personal questions.
In essence, the client becomes a practitioner of divinatory shamanism, with the help and guidance (in ordinary reality) of the shamanic counselor. One of the features of HSC is that the real shamanic counselors are in nonordinary reality. These are sacred Teachers that the clients encounter in their shamanic journeys who provide answers to the clients’ questions. The ordinary reality HSC counselors, in contrast, do not provide substantive answers or interpretations for the client, but are essentially experienced shamanic facilitators who provide encouragement and methodological shamanic advice based upon their own more extensive experience in shamanic journeying and shamanism.
HSC uses the electronically provided sonic-driving to alter the state of consciousness of the client in order to go “outside of time” to utilize the ancient shamanic problem-solving methods. The client is trained in the Harner-originated method of simultaneous narration of the shamanic journey in order to amplify the quality of experience and to have a complete set of their recorded narrated shamanic journeys. Through their experiences in the shamanic journey, the client has the opportunity to overcome inhibitory fears and to gain self-confidence while acquiring heart-felt wisdom. With this, the client commonly experiences a sense of personal empowerment and a new-found joy in existence.
Since HSC is a spiritual rather than a psychological system, it is not necessary for an HSC counselor to be a professional psychotherapist or counselor. What does seem to be essential is for the counselor to be well-trained and experienced in practical shamanism and to be an individual of sensitivity, intelligence, character, and compassion.
