Practical Shamanism: Tools for Modern Life

What if ancient spiritual tools weren’t abstract or ceremonial, but deeply practical? What if they could help you navigate everyday life with greater clarity, protection, intuition, and purpose?

This weekend immersion in Practical Shamanism is designed to bridge ancient wisdom with modern living. Rather than focusing on theory alone, this experience centers on applied tools and practices you can bring into your home, relationships, work, and daily rhythm.

Friday Evening: The Foundation (90-Minute Talk)

6:30pm – 8pm

Friday night begins with a focused 90-minute transmission introducing the core principles Kevin will expand on throughout the weekend. Designed in a clear, accessible format, this evening offers both inspiration and framework.

You’ll explore:

• What practical shamanism actually is
• How shamanic tools can support modern stress, disconnection, and overwhelm
• The role of ancestors, guides, and intuitive intelligence in daily life
• Why reclaiming these practices now matters

This session lays the groundwork for the deeper experiential work to follow. It is ideal for those wanting a comprehensive overview and those deciding whether to attend the full weekend.

Saturday Workshop: Applied Practice

(Morning session: 9:30am – 11:30am | Afternoon session: 1:30pm – 3:30pm)
Saturday is divided into three experiential categories experienced over two 2-hour sessions:

Divination | Extraction | Soul Retrieval

Throughout the day, participants will explore tools such as:

• Communicating with ancestors and angelic guides
• Shamanic journeying with drums and rattles
• Discovering your animal totem
• Using Tarot as an intuitive daily guidance tool
• Clearing your home, office, and personal energy field
• Understanding and interpreting dreams and waking-dream states
• Removing negative energetic attachments and patterns
• Working with essential oils for clearing and balancing
• Using crystals and stones effectively in meditation and healing
• Simple meditation techniques for daily grounding

The focus is on how to incorporate these tools in ways that feel grounded, safe, and meaningful.

Sunday: Individual Sessions

On Sunday, Kevin will offer a limited number of 45-minute individual sessions, These provide personalized attention and an opportunity to explore specific questions, patterns, and/or energetic themes in greater depth. If you’re interested in scheduling a session, please email info@the-authentic-self.org

This weekend is for those who feel called to engage spiritual tools in a mature, grounded, integrated and empowered way.

Whether you attend the Friday talk, the full Saturday immersion, or schedule a Sunday session, this experience offers an opportunity to deepen your understanding of intuitive intelligence and reclaim practices that support clarity, protection, and purposeful living.
