Shamanic Practitioners Training with Dolly Aguilar

The Shamanic Practitioners Training with Dolly Aguilar is a year-long, accredited course in core shamanic practice, held at EarthSpirit Centre in Compton Dundon, Somerset. It is for people who want to work as a shamanic practitioner with clients, and equally for those who simply want to deepen their own personal growth through shamanic work. Dolly Aguilar leads the training with a team described as highly qualified and experienced.

What to Expect

This is a long-form shamanic training rather than a single retreat. It unfolds over a full year, so the learning builds in stages and gives time between gatherings to absorb what you have met. The course sets out to cover all the key aspects and teachings of core shamanic practice, giving participants the knowledge and skills needed to take the work into a practice with clients.

Because the course is accredited, it suits anyone who wants a recognised grounding before offering shamanic work to others. It also welcomes those who have no plans to practise professionally and want a thorough, structured path into the tradition for their own growth.

The Setting

The gatherings take place at Little Earth, the self-contained eco centre within EarthSpirit Centre, set in the Somerset countryside near Compton Dundon. Little Earth offers single, twin or triple ensuite rooms and a large, light yoga space. Meals at the centre are vegetarian, made with fresh home-grown produce where possible, and dietary restrictions can be catered for. The nearest train station is Castle Cary.

Glastonbury and its sacred sites are close by, and the surrounding countryside gives plenty of room for walking and quiet between sessions.

Before You Go

The course is open to those who want to practise with clients and to those drawn to the work for personal reasons. Dolly Aguilar and her team can tell you more about how the year is structured, what each gathering covers and what prior experience, if any, they would like you to bring. Questions about the course itself are best taken to the teacher directly through her own website.

If you are travelling from afar, plan your journey with Castle Cary station in mind, and check the accommodation options at Little Earth when you reserve your place.

For anyone searching for a shamanic practitioners training in Somerset, or an accredited shamanic course in the UK that takes both practice and personal growth seriously, this year-long programme with Dolly Aguilar at EarthSpirit Centre is a grounded place to begin.
