Empower others and Transform your life through deep connection with Spirit.

Step Up to the Power of Your Own Light

_________________________________________________________________________________

Practitioner Training

A new training will begin in the spring of 2026. Please fill out the application below to express interest.

I teach a cross-cultural practice of direct revelation and earth honoring that gives people non-drug tools to access non-ordinary reality, deep healing, and profound soul awakening. This is a transpersonal approach to healing that blends tools and techniques of contemporary shamanic practice, energy healing, parts work, somatic bodywork, herbal medicine, and a deep connection to the earth and the spirit in all things. These powerful earth-based visionary healing practices derive from universal principles and personal experience. It does not follow any specific indigenous tradition or appropriate language or ceremony from others. This intensive program will guide you in deepening your own spiritual practice and visionary abilities in order to hold sacred space for others and offer healing, wholeness, connection, and deep empowerment.

This small group meets regularly over the course of 12 months to dive deeply into the practices of earth honoring and direct revelation as a way of life and as a method for healing. We begin with developing and deepening into an intimate relationship with the great earth and all nature beings, as well as our personal helping spirits and each other. We continue into learning skills to be used in the service of others and all our relations.

From past participants:

“I’ve gained so much wonderful wisdom and knowledge, and it helped me to feel comfortable in my body and made my everyday life a bit easier. It opened up this whole wide world that I never knew that existed before. I’m so excited to discover more and more.” -CS
“Dr. Amy brought light and love, heart and soul to each and every class. I always felt safe and that my needs were met. When I was having a difficult time, it was accepted without judgement or expectation but rather with an openness and the invitation to explore what was actually going on. I always ended the day with some clarity, resolution and feeling better. “ -SS

The first part of the program is focused on evolving your personal spiritual path, developing trust in your inner knowing and close relationships with your helping spirits. Learn skills and insight into living a life of truth, humility and respect.

The second part of the program is learning the skills to bring these profound methods to others. We will work with death and dying and learn how to work with others in power retrievals, energy clearings, ceremony, and soul retrieval.

From past participants:

Having a deeper understanding of what it means to work with spirit and allow spirit to work through me, I think that I am more able to let my ego get out of the way and when I can do that I empower the people around me to grow and heal according to their journey and needs rather than putting my expectations on them. And the other side of that is the understanding that everyone is responsible for their own journey, I am not responsible for anyone’s journey but my own. -CZ
Each day since the soul retrieval, I feel there are small little openings occurring in my day to day life where I have more clarity and also a natural inclination to expand that was not there prior to the retrieval work. The feeling of " a new me" is not coming from my imagination, it's like a strong voice that drives from my intuition/heart-space that infuses more confidence/wisdom but really it feels more like peace. There is of course always more work ahead but I can relax a bit more as I see the progress and the eventual freedom/peacefulness that brings. -L.H.

This is a small group program where we will form a strong community and have space for each individual’s unique presence and process.

“Amy is a skilled practitioner and teacher. She holds a container for individuals and the group that allows for deep learning and healing. She respects and is aware of the process of each student’s journey. Her giftedness allows her to challenge her students to open, grow, heal, and form meaningful relationships. Having a small group was such a gift for me to have support and connection in this practice. I am grateful for having had this opportunity to work with Amy and these amazing women. “ JM

Outline for the program:

We will meet monthly for a full Saturday on the land and quarterly for overnight retreats. Exact schedule TBD.

Part 1: Cultivating your connection to Spirit.

We begin with an initiatory ceremonial workshop designed to deepen you into your personal shamanic practice where you will open the doors to your soul and expand your consciousness to inhabit the unseen realms. This is where you find yourself belonging to the animate world and cultivate your inner landscape through journeywork and sacred reciprocity. We will look within and work with shadow and energetic boundaries, and explore the ethics of spiritual power and personal sovereignty. We will work with integrating and releasing our ego story so we can fully inhabit the spirit realms.

Part 2: Becoming sacred space, cultivating emptiness.

We move into releasing attachments and allowing spirit to move through us so that we can be of service to others in sacred space. We will explore spiritual causes of illness and imbalance. We will explore the realms of death & dying and learn skills to guide and psychopomp souls. We will work with connecting to and offering healing for our ancestral lines.

Part 3: Inhabiting the Healing practices.

This is where dive deeply into the advanced skills of intuitive healing and contemporary shamanism: soul retrieval, extraction, power retrieval, divination and ceremony.

Part 4: Co-create with Spirit.

Practice healing skills and co-create with spirit to call forth our unique soul work, enlivening the image at the center of your soul. Making our way of life with spirit.

Who is this for?

This training is especially designed for healing practitioners and visionary changemakers who want to deepen their connection to spirit and bring these advanced healing practices to others. It is best for people already on a spiritual path who are looking for language, structure, and community. This is not a course for personal healing, although personal healing certainly occurs as needed to support others on their journey. A history of personal growth work and some kind of spiritual practice are required. Basic journey skills can be learned before the start of class.

Policies

Cancellation Policy

We ask for a $500 non-refundable deposit before the start of classes. This can be used toward your full payment or the payment plan.

We know that schedules can change and cancellations are sometimes necessary. We will determine refunds on a case by case basis.

Because I am limiting this group to 12 participants, each individual is very important and if you cannot attend, please give as much notice as possible so that others on the waiting list have the chance to join.

All cancellations must be in writing.

Make-ups

If, during the apprenticeship, you have an emergency or illness causing you to miss one of the weekends, you are still responsible for any ongoing tuition payments as scheduled, and you may participate in the other program elements. To make-up your weekend, you have 2 options: Either your tuition will go towards a future apprentice program which you will sit in on for just that weekend. Or you can do a 1:1 make-up with Amy for an extra fee of $275. You are only allowed one make-up per apprenticeship series, to keep the integrity of our circle.

Payment Plan Policy

We will keep your card on file to be billed automatically for the payment plan.

No refunds will be given for workshops already completed.

If Amy Kelchner cancels the apprenticeship at any time due to emergency you will be refunded for any workshops that have not been completed.

If you are displeased with the apprenticeship for any reason, you are to seek private council with Amy first, to lovingly discuss the issue and next steps.
