Welcome to the WAY OF THE SHAMAN 2026-27

What to bring with you

If you are joining the training for the first time, for each module you will need to bring with you THREE STONES that you would like to have as your medicine stones (for the West class, you’ll need one black stone, one red stone and one yellow stone). They don’t have to be ‘precious’ or ‘gem’ stones, just of a size that fits in the palm of your hand and that you can handle easily, not too big and not too tiny. Whatever calls to you to be part of your medicine.

You’ll need a CLOTH to wrap your stones (only for the South class, as you’ll use the same cloth for all the modules). We have lots of Peruvian cloths to sell from the lineage of Q’ero shaman that we work with. But a cloth that has some meaning to you personally is just as important and is still a sacred cloth.

Please bring a notebook and pens for journalling, a pendulum, a rattle you have one (which we recommend). If you want to buy something, we have a recommended supplier, and you’ll find a link below. If you are a returning student and already have a Mesa, you’ll need that of course!

We recommend bringing clothing and footwear for the relevant season – some of our work is outside, whatever the weather. For our work inside, we recommend wearing clothing that is comfortable and that you can move around in easily. And we have an evening of ceremony during each module, so sometimes people bring something a bit more ‘soulful’ (this is entirely optional). Most importantly, bring yourself.

There are a few things that we request that you please don’t bring: we are stepping into a sensitive environment and over many years have found that these elements in particular will feel more impactful: we leave our mobile phones and all electronic devices in our rooms while we are in class. Avoid alcohol; energy work and alcohol do not mix. Smoking and vaping are not allowed on the premises. And please don’t use cosmetic perfumes and aftershaves.
