From Sandra Ingerman

“Soul retrieval, extraction, depossession work should not be taught online. It is highly unethical as it puts clients at risk with poorly trained practitioners.

Due to the Covid we are in an unusual situation so I have given permission to teach online advanced healing workshops with no more than 4-6 participants so your shamanic teacher and the group can watch your work and help you deepen it.

If the Covid is still a threat to people in 2021 then please note that all the physical exercises for advanced healing in an online course will be split into smaller classes of 4-6 people.

In this way we can provide the best training possible.”
