No. This training is so different from other shamanic trainings, that it doesn't matter if you've had previous experience, as much of the material will be new to you anyway. The way we journey into the World of Spirit, working with the Tree of Life, and then later for Level 2, working with Feminine Tracking and Seidr, is very unique. Hence, all students need to move through Level 1 (or having been trained by one of Cissi's certified teachers who follow the same curriculum in their teaching).

No, absolutely not. In fact, it can often be beneficial as you are then more open to learning how to journey in this intuitive way.

You will learn shamanic healing, shamanic journeying, extraction work and soul retrieval, so although this training is for your own personal development, you will still dive deep into shamanic energy medicine. This is because you can only develop this deep wisdom within your body, though your experience of shamanic energy medicine.

If you later want to work with clients, you need to also do Level 2, as you there go much deeper into the world of shamanic energy medicine

Great question!

The training is very intense requiring the students to go incredibly deep on their healing journey, so if you are new to this, it’s recommend you listen to some of the shamanic journeys on the podcast ‘Awaken Your Inner Wisdom’ (Spotify, Apple and here).

It is also strongly recommended you read the book Your Heart Knows How to Heal You as it introduces you to some of the material taught on the training. You can find out more about the book here.

Another great way to discover if this training is for you is to have shamanic healing sessions with someone from our Teacher Team. You can find their details here.

All online training days start at 2pm UK time and finish at 7.30pm UK time.

You only have access to the online courses for as long as you are a student on the training.

If you choose to also do Level 2, then once you’ve become certified, you have lifetime access to the online course material (Become Your Own Mystic, Healer & Wise Woman).

The time commitment is the following:

Level 1: 300 hours.

This training is very intense as it not only requires you to learn new material, but i also invites you to dive deep into the cauldron of healing, transformation, magic and rebirth.

The time commitment for Level 2 is 450hrs.

If you miss one of the online training days then you can watch the replay videos afterwards, so you can catch up that way. You then also have to book a private mentoring session with a teacher. Each missed day equals 4 hours of missed supervised teaching, and you can book these 4-hour ‘catch-up’ sessions with one of the teachers (price is £100 for a 4-hour slot).

Please let us know in advance if you know you might miss some dates.

Please also bear in mind that each day builds upon each other, so if you miss day 2 of a module, then you may not be able to do day 3 or 4, so you would then need to make up all these days before the next module.

If you will miss many days, then it’s advisable to instead come on the training another year when you know you can give it the time it needs.

This training is very intense, and will require a lot of study and commitment on your part.

Plus, each module has to be passed in order to move into the next module.

This year’s group intake will have a maximum of 16-18 students, which is a mix of new students and already certified Practitioner and Master Students who are doing another spiral into the cauldron to deepen their healing journey.

You’ll be practising with the other students, whilst being supervised by the Teacher Team.

We keep the group size small as this is a very intense journey of deep transformation and healing.

This training is for you who feel called to awaken your inner feminine wisdom, magic and power - and that you are willing to witness your own shadows and projections, and willing to heal deeply.

You will do all your practical training during the modules, so that you always practice under supervision. This includes the sessions you do for your case studies - they take place during the training days.

You won’t be able to practice with others outside of the training until you are certified (which takes place during Level 2). Then, once certified, you can, if you want to, start seeing clients.

The minimum age for the training is 23.

For Level 1 it is voluntary to have sessions (for Level 2 it is a requirement).

It is, however, very beneficial to have shamanic healing sessions, and the Teacher Team will be offering you a student discount.

These sessions will help you to go much deeper in your own healing journey.

Of course, during the training you will both give and receive many sessions with your fellow students - which is wonderful, and how you’ll learn the healing power of shamanic energy medicine.

Yes, you can secure a place on Level 2 as you book your place on Level 1 (just choose that option when you pay the deposit).

Please be aware that you can only start Level 2 once you have passed Level 1.

Our next Level 1 starts in October 2025, and finishes in April 2026.

Our next Level 2 starts in September 2026 (and finishes in June 2027).

If you are already certified as a Practitioner in NLP, or as a Master Practitioner in NLP, then you don’t need to do the NLP module. Just send us a copy of your certificate.

Please note that the Shamanic NLP is part of the Shamanic Energy Medicine Training. If you want to later see clients in just NLP, then you need to also do the NLP Practitioner Module so you can be a Certified NLP Practitioner (this module is extra, and not part of Level 1).

Yes, everyone pays in instalments as each module needs to be passed in order to move through the training.

The deposit is fully refundable for the first 7 days after you’ve signed up (or for 7 days after you’ve had the initial phone call with Cissi to see if this training is for you). After that the deposit is non-refundable.

Yes, Cissi teaches Seidr on Level 2, which is the Master Training in Shamanic Energy Medicine & Seidr Magic.

In order to do Level 2, you first need to do Level 1 (or having been certified as a Practitioner in Energy Medicine by Cissi previously, or by one of her approved teachers who follow a similar curriculum as Nordic Light).
