Lorna Smithers

I joined Shamanic Healers Circle in order to gain accreditation for my shamanic healing practice and to access peer support. The accreditation process was rigorous and professional. Everything was well explained and well organised. Since passing, I have been impressed by the high standards on the administrative side and in the running of the shamanic cafe. Jim does an excellent job of holding space for a talking stick discussion of questions that members bring to the group and for distance healing for those in need. The space is non-judgemental. Everyone I have met has been friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Shamanic Healers Circle to those who are seeking accreditation for their healing practices and looking to join in deep discussion on shamanic matters with other healers.

Completing the 2 Yr professional course with Jim & Lorraine has taught me so much about myself and the spiritual world. Attending the weekend courses in a beautiful village in Devon it was an incredible experience and highly recommend. Jim & Lorraine share their teachings and wisdom in a safe and supported environment.

Jim & Lorraine are exceptionally experienced teachers with a wealth of knowledge taught that is to you in a soft & approachable manner. I felt very safe and welcomed in the Shamanic Healers Circle from the first day that I arrived. I love the fact that you can jump into the course on any of the 4 'Foundation Course' weekends throughout the year, this has really helped with my journey into Shamanic Healing. The classes are full of practical exercises, so you get some fantastic hands-on experience - this has really helped with my confidence. The class is a mix of people from all walks of life, not intimidating, and everyone is super friendly. I would highly recommend this course.

I am continuing with every course. Teachers are amazing. They are authentic and kind I Fully recommend it. Also you learn things that is very beneficial for practical parts of business. I recommend it for business and for personal healing. Am very grateful that I get the opportunity to advance into the professional year as well.

Jim and Lorraine create a very grounded and nurturing space in which to learn about natural energy medicine, honouring the Shamanic traditions for the modern practitioner who wants to achieve the professional standards required by the CNHC. They have a wealth of knowledge and experience that they share with genuine generosity and wisdom.

The Shamanic Healers Circle is a resourceful place for practitioners looking for continue their training, for connecting with like-minded people, and for finding a community of people who can be interested in what you have to offer. I have been a member for a few months and already got so much out of it, including a live call to be with other highly qualified practitioners. Although I am a member in other organisations, I feel that my participation at the SHC is very personal and tangible, and it has been the best place to expand my connections in the UK. It also has a useful directory of events and practitioners in the UK for general public and other practitioners. I also want to highlight that the process of becoming a member was clear, well guided, and with active communication.

Sara-Jane Gauntlett

I joined the Shamanic Healers Circle Foundation Course in 2021 and I have attended all four of the weekend workshops. I highly recommend this course which is run by highly experienced and capable teachers who hold deep wisdom and knowledge of Shamanic Healing Practice. It has been such a rich and diverse learning journey with a group of lovely souls. I am really looking forward to progressing on to the Shamanic Healers Circle Diploma Course this year.

Philippa Church

I have worked with Jim and Lorraine for a number of years and have been so impressed by their humility and integrity. As a shamanic practitioner, it is wonderful to a have a circle of people to offer support that is alignment with really being of service to the people. I can wholly recommend the Shamanic Healers' Circle in terms of if you are a client seeking a practitioner or as a someone looking to train in this body of work.

Kevin Humphrey

I joined the Shamanic training weekend and LOVED meeting Jim and Lorraine, they are both excellent teachers sharing their knowledge, skills, wisdom, drumming, smudging, and so much more, with humour, energy & depth and the days flew by outside of normal time. I learned so much and so excited for further training dates. See you next time. THANK YOU
