This is the fifth One-Year Apprenticeship Program sponsored by The Center For Earthlight Healing, taught by Dory Cote and assisted by Terry Morgan.
In this one-year experience you will learn the shamanic healing practices of extraction, soul retrieval, working with those who are dying or who are deceased, power animal retrievals, Sandra Ingerman's Medicine for the Earth and How to Thrive in Changing Times and you will participate in several ceremonies including fire ceremonies, dances and other rituals and initiations.
This is an experiential year with deep work on a personal and global basis. Shamanism is not about techniques, and although we will teach numerous global shamanic healing methods, this year is truly about who you "become" and not what you do.
Some students go on to become shamanic practitioners, while many apply their experience in a variety of unique and creative ways. We work in small circle with generally no more than 15 students in any one year. This provides a great deal of individualized attention with ample follow up and contact with Dory between sessions. Your tuition includes numerous hours of personal contact with Dory.
Numerous students have completed prior programs with The Center for Earthlight Healing and are doing excellent shamanic work in the world. See testimonials on this website, or ask Dory for the names of graduate students who will be happy to talk with you.
A personal interview with Dory Cote, and completion of an application are required prior to acceptance into this program.
This is a non-residential program which allows us to keep the costs down. If you are traveling from some distance we can make recommendations for inexpensive overnight housing nearby. All of our meetings are at The Barn, Topsham, Maine a beautiful, peaceful yoga retreat facility (no housing available) with outdoor fire pit, separate space for lunches and snacks, a small kitchen, and plentiful pillows, blankets, chairs, back jacks and other items to keep you comfortable during the workshop.

Two-Year Program Testimonial
Dory is a great teacher! She is also a gifted shamanic healer, with plenty of experience to draw upon in her class work. She is that rare combination of gifted and humble that makes her a wise and valuable spiritual guide. She created a safe space in which to do deep spikritual work that is relevant and meaningful. At the same time there was plenty of fun and laughter in her classes. I feel blessed that I was called to study with Dory.
Testimonial: Male Student
This shamanic program with Dory opened my life and my soul. I am no longer able to look at life, to interact with life, without having awareness of the surrounding spirits. I live with a totally new level of peace. There are no words to describe how Dory and this program have changed my life. I will forever be indebted.
Testimonial: Current Student
My experience in my first year of training in Shamanic Healing with Dory has been transformational. In the beginning I thought of shamanism as an activity or pursuit. As the year progressed, shamanism became totally integrated in my every day life. It has helped me to understand, and appreciate, myself and thrive in a challenging world.
Testimonial: Children's Workshop
Thank you so much! Everyone loved the workshop and we are so excited to make a plan to have you back. I truly loved your respectful, confident and kind way of being with the girls. What a gem you are, dear Dory!
