What is Shamanic Mentoring?
Shamanic Mentoring is a space for you to discuss and explore challenging areas or topics of practitioner or personal practice. Mentoring can provide support, encouragement, troubleshooting, discussion, exploration and more. You may opt for a single session or organise regular meetings.
Mentoring is a space in which to query and refine aspects of your practice, to work through new ideas and to spark inspiration. Mentees are asked to set their own goals before each session and within an architecture I will create and hold for you we will dive into those topics and explore.
Shamanic Mentoring sessions are not one-to-one classes for teaching shamanic practice/methodologies but rather, a place for sharing pointers and to aid in shaping current practices. These sessions are also not counselling, psychotherapy or shamanic healing sessions. However, Shamanic Mentoring may aid in identifying that counselling, psychotherapy or shamanic healing sessions are required. It is worth noting this, as these areas are closely entwined and it is easy to cross from one to another!
If any of these issues arise, it is your personal responsibility to organise the relevant support. I will be happy to share recommendations of practitioners.
Sessions are usually a combination of not only my practical experience but information I receive from spirit as I work.
Who is Shamanic Mentoring for?
Everyone! Shamanic Practitioners, cross-discipline practitioners (e.g. merging of shamanic practice/other talk therapies) individuals on a personal shamanic/animistic path, and also clients who wish to dive deeper into an aspect of a healing they have received. Whatever level/experience you consider yourself to be, I am happy to facilitate exploration.

What You Will Need
- A basic familiarity with Zoom functionality.
- A stable and reliable internet connection for video calls.
- Some preparation beforehand; at the very least, your intention as what you hope to achieve during our time together and a few bullet-points as to areas of exploration or something more detailed. I require this 48 hours before the session. You are not bound to stick to these topics by any means; I work organically and follow what has energy for you – but it is good to have a place to start!
- Notepad and pen.
Timing and Fees
Sessions are an hour long and can be as regular as you wish to support your areas of challenge or development. All sessions are online only and are available daytime and early evening. Please click here for current session fees.
A short, free, video consultation is available to discuss if shamanic mentoring is for you ahead of booking your session.
Shamanic Mentoring Testimonials
“I am on the path of developing a shamanic practice alongside my psychotherapy and coaching work, and wanted to find a mentor and supervisor who could assist me on this journey. I was recommended to reach out to Benjamin 6 months ago, and have been working with him regularly ever since. I value his calm presence, wisdom and experience, and his encouragement and support. His skilled mentorship and supervision has been a key part of my learning and provides a wonderful anchor for my work – thank you Benjamin!”
