What you’ll receive in this course:

Four 50 – Minute Live Course Sessions in Community with Dr. Paula Petry

These dynamic lLve group sessions are at the heart of the course. You will receive Dr. Paula’s teachings, authentically share, come into a relaxed stillness, and experience powerful guided shamanic journeys.  

Personal growth is magnified in community, according to research studies. In these safe and protected environments, others serve as mirrors; you suddenly find yourself in the other person’s story. As you experience compassion and understanding for ‘other’ – you have the opportunity to experience the same for yourself. Deep healing occurs instantaneously.

A ZOOM link is provided in advance of the first Live session.

Reflective Expressive Arts Practices

Expressive arts practices are awakening by nature and for this reason woven throughout the course. This free expressive art form gives one’s internal process physical form. This expression of one’s inner landscape in and of itself creates a higher-level understanding of oneself, as it overrides linear thinking, sparking the imagination and giving way to new expression. In these moments, you uncover aspects of self that had not been seen before; you awaken to that aspect of self.

Other content areas that are described in detail and in printable PDF format include: chakra system, auric field, shamanic practices, archetypes, Enneagram soul profiles, and a comprehensive list of resources for going forward.
