Weekend 1
January 23rd – 24th focus: East
- Soul retrieval – The East is associated with illumination, rebirth, and spiritual vision. Soul retrieval restores lost parts of the self, initiating a new beginning and a clearer spiritual path.

- Additional Core Elements:
- Attunement practices (opening/closing sacred space, grounding, connecting to Spirit)
- Creating a safe healing environment (physical, emotional, energetic safety)
- Exploration of different models of healing and definitions of the healer’s role.
- Integration into contemporary healthcare context (how healing relates to conventional medicine, inter-referral).
Weekend 2
March 13th – 14th focus: South
- Understanding and navigating soul loss, including shadow work – The South relates to emotional experience, vulnerability, and the inner child. Shadow work is about facing wounds, fears, and past traumas that often stem from childhood and relationships.
- Creating sacred tools and power items – The South is also about creativity, play, and personal growth. Crafting sacred tools is a hands-on way to engage with Spirit through creativity and relationship.
- Additional Core Elements:
- Emotional intelligence and therapeutic presence
- Cultural sensitivity, inclusivity, and respect for client worldviews.
- Recognising contraindications and when to refer clients for additional support
Weekend 3
May 22nd-23rd focus: West
- Psychopomp work (supporting the dying and guiding souls) – The West is the direction of endings, transitions, and the gateway to the ancestors. Guiding souls to the other side.
- Remote healing techniques – The West also holds the unseen realms, dreams, and the mysteries beyond ordinary reality. Distance or non-local healing aligns with this direction’s connection to the invisible.
- Additional Core Elements:
- Ethical considerations in end-of-life and distance work.
- Safety and risk awareness when working with altered states and the unseen.
- Reflection on dreams, intuition, and symbolic guidance in practice.
