Shamanic Extraction Training (Albany, NY | July 24-25)

Our world is polluted with psychic litter - unintentionally sent out by none other than our own toxic thoughts, emotions, and words.

These energies, when they enter ourselves or another, can cause and contribute to localized pain and physical and emotional illness. And when hurled into the world at their current volume, these intrusions can cause a lot of personal and collective damage.

In this advanced training, originated by world-renowned shamanic teacher Sandra Ingerman, MA, you will discover how to safely remove misplaced energy connected to pain and illness through the shamanic healing method of extraction.

In this circle, you will explore:

- The four major causes of illness that shamans perceive,

- The causes and nature of spiritual intrusions,

- Being shown firsthand the damage spiritual intrusions can do,

- The crucial difference between expressing and sending emotions - and ways to transform your challenging ones,

- Merging with a helping spirit so that you are empowered and protected in extraction healing,

- Finding your personal shamanic extraction spirit helper,

- Methods of diagnosing, extracting, and transforming intrusive energy,

- Rituals for ensuring your energetic cleanliness, both before and after extraction,

- Doing extractions for children, animals, land, and beyond, 

- Making healthy life shifts so that the power of your extraction healing lasts long-term,

- And much more.

This cleansing workshop will be held in the historic and lively capital of New York State - Albany. The venue (which infuses its crystals, locally-made jewelry, and all other products with Reiki energy, and may have spiritual services available during workshop off-hours), is only minutes from Albany International Airport, the Albany Pine Bush (said to be the “only sizable inland pine barren sand dune ecosystem in the United States”), and a short drive from the breathtaking cliff views of Thacher State Park - all while being just steps away from the rich cuisine, summer concerts, and entertainment of the city.

In the majority of my own shamanic healing sessions, extraction is used. This, perhaps, speaks to the need we in our culture - one that does not understand the spiritual power that our challenging states of consciousness hold - have to finally come back into alignment with a fundamental shamanic truth: that we can experience the full range of human thought and emotion, but that this does not necessitate sending that toxicity to others. In this training, we will begin to expand our awareness of this crucial balance, and learn how to rectify our poor psychic behavior through the clearing practice of shamanic extraction.

Completion of both days of this workshop serves as the extraction training prerequisite for application to Sandra Ingerman's 2025-2026 Two-Year Teacher Training.
