This is an experiential workshop for mental health students and practitioners of the healing arts. Participants will learn the basics of creating sacred space, shamanic journeying, how to create a safe environment for this work, and how to access inner wisdom for the practitioner and the client. No prior experience with shamanic journeying is needed. Experienced shamanic practitioners are also welcome. NOTE: Because journey work is usually done lying down, participants should dress casually and bring a blanket or yoga mat, pillow, eye covering and a notebook for journalling. Some may want to bring sacred objects to add to the shamanic altar for the duration of the workshop. Standard teaching about mental health conditions does not usually include any reference to the spiritual aspects of the people who come for help. This workshop will address the types of spiritual interference which can lead to mental and emotional difficulties. Participants will learn the basics of shamanic journeying as an approach for helping clients with the spiritual aspects of their mental health issues. Emphasis will be placed on setting sacred space, techniques for insuring the safety of the process, learning how to function in an altered state of consciousness for healing purposes, and helping the clients find their own inner resources. Dr. Alcorn is a psychiatrist, practicing in Ohio, since 1974. He has studied subtle energy healing since 2000, and shamanic practices since 2004. He is interested in the effectiveness of treating common psychiatric disorders with spiritual interventions.

Course Information “Aromatic Medicine” can be described as the medical use of essential oils (volatile oils), including taking them internally by mouth. It is a therapeutic modality that has huge potential especially at this time of antibiotic crisis where the microbial modulating effects of essential oils could be part of the solution. Peter Conway considers aromatic medicine to be a vital branch of herbal medicine albeit one that is insufficiently appreciated – this seminar aims to address this by providing a solid grounding in this very powerful approach. The course will indicate the full therapeutic scope of aromatic medicine but will focus specifically on two interrelated treatment areas: infection and stress. On this intensive course you will discover: the basics of volatile oil chemistry, the range of actions they possess, the indications they can address and the type of preparations that can be made. You will learn fundamentals such as how to use oils safely, where to obtain them and how to store them – but we will also consider more arcane matters such as the notions of “live embalming” and “aromatic acupuncture”! During this course we will experience over 20 different essential oils. Course overview Day 1 will include Defining “Aromatic Medicine” and tracing its history Orientation in volatile oil chemistry General properties of volatile oils Potential adverse effects Quality, sourcing and storage Preparations and indications Aromatic medicine and the microbiome Focus on treating infections part 1 Day 2 will include Focus on treating infections part 2 Focus on treating stress This course will be of particular interest to herbal medicine students and practitioners but also to other students and practitioners who have a deep interest in the therapeutic use of essential oils. Course Instructor Peter Conway is one of the world’s leading herbal medicine practitioners and teachers. Trained in the UK he was made a Fellow of both the National Institute of Medical Herbalists and the College of Practitioners of Phytotherapy for his contributions in developing the herbal profession including his diverse educational work, political work with the British Government and his writing such as his 2011 textbook The Consultation in Phytotherapy which is currently being revised for a second edition. Peter is now based in Canada and is a member of the Canadian Herbalists Association of British Columbia. Peter trained in Aromatic Medicine with renowned French expert Dr. Daniel Penoel in the 1990s. Peter is keen to see the huge potential of Aromatic Medicine become realised – particularly in helping to address the antibiotic crisis and to seize the therapeutic opportunities offered by the growing field of the microbiome.
