“I heard this call and did not know what I was embarking on, but now I am grateful a thousand times over that I said yes to the experience." - S. Harris
Mastery Courses
These offerings are for practitioners who wish to continue to say YES to their work on the medicine path. Currently, Shamanic Yoga Institute offers a Black Stone and White Global Mesa Mastery program. In both trainings, you will build a sacred medicine bundle–a mesa–the tool used for individual and collective levels of healing, engage with expressive arts, shamanic yoga, and study closely one of the primary texts of Tantric tradition. The objective of these courses is to deconstruct our personal and cultural limiting beliefs, remove resistance to accessing resources of power and connection, refine the way that we serve, and commit to living with greater vitality.
Healer's Cosmology - Black Stone Mesa Mastery
To attend this course, you must hold a medicine bundle from any tradition and be willing to increase your capacity to move from the personal into the collective in your practice as an energy worker or change agent. The focus of this program is to shift your gaze away from the little I, to amplify your medicine that serves the land, animals, ancestors and the three worlds.
“Awareness, free and independent, is the cause of the performance of everything
citiḥ svatantrā viśva-siddhi-hetuḥ || 1 ||
Through Her own Will, Awareness unfolds the universe on the ‘canvas’ that is Herself.
svecchayā svabhittau viśvam unmīlayati || 2 ||
It is diverse because it is divided into mutually adapted subjects and objects.
tan nānānurūpa-grāhya-grāhaka-bhedāt || 3 ||
The individual conscious being, as a contraction of universal Awareness, consists of the entire universe in microcosmic form.
citi-sankocātmā cetano ‘pi sankucita-viśva-mayah || 4 ||
Pratyabhijnahrdayam, translated by Christopher Wallis
“Shamanic yoga has helped me to rise from the stories I've told myself and been stuck in. Doing the work has helped me to move forward in my life and choose a new path for myself" - C. Douglas

I am everywhere, infusing everything.
To find me,
Become absorbed in intense experience.
Go all the way.
Be drenched in the energies of life.
Enter the world beyond separation.
The light of a candle reveals a room.
The rays of the sun reveal the world.
So does the Divine Feminine
Illumine the way to me.
Sri Vijnana Bhiarava Tantra: Banter Verse 20-21
I am everywhere, infusing everything.
