FAQ's

Here we answer your commonly
asked questions about our training

Is the program only for practitioners? Can I do the training if I don't want to be an energy medicine practitioner?

Yes, many of our students attend the 9 month training for personal transformation. And after experiencing their own healing and learning the wisdom teachings of shamanism, many go on to launch energy medicine practices and a new career. Whatever your interest, this program provides the tools to experience truly life-changing, permanent transformation.

Has anyone who has no background in energy medicine taken your course? Are there any pre-requisites?

Absolutely! You do not need any previous experience in shamanism or energy medicine to enroll in the training. The only requisites are an open mind and an open heart. If you have a calling to serve, to make a difference, and to practice compassionate healing, this is the path for you.

We have a wonderful world-wide community of students. During the live modules over the 9 month training we have regular student group shares with mentors and vital practice and feedback sessions with other students. During the course and afterwards you also have access to the student forum.

And many of our students take the course more than once to dive deeper into the teachings. So if its your first time dont worry there will be others who have done the training with you as well as first-timers. We also offer the training at a substantial discount for returning students to support your soul-growth. 

This is more than a training - this is stepping onto the Inca Medicine Wheel to heal, transform and evolve.

  • Jaguar Path

    I am especially grateful for the ritual aspects of the training because I feel ceremony is critical for bringing us in touch with the domain of the sacred. Perhaps most important for me so far has been the opening of sacred space which I do almost daily. Thank you for enriching my spiritual life in so many ways and for putting me in touch with the Earth wisdom of the Q’eros. Thank you from my heart!

  • Jaguar Path

    The tools I’ve learned during the 9-month training have all been special to me. They have allowed me to dive into my past so I could say goodbye and let go of what’s not needed. The tools have all supported me in knowing that I have support from the animals, plants, guides, ancestors, earth, sun, and moon. I am ready to share a few of my favorite tools that unlocked superpowers I never knew I had, and sharpened my already existing tools. Thank you Ray and Nina for being a bridge and teaching.

    Caitlin Perry , Founder of Ayala Apothecary

  • Jaguar Path

    I chose to take this training because after completing The Four Winds Society’s Energy Medicine Course I realized that my inner healing was not complete and instead of repeating the same material with the same teachers I felt it would be beneficial to receive training from another school with a different perspective. I met Ray and Nina at Deva Premal & Miten’s Gayatri Gathering and made an immediate and strong connection. I discovered the two programs came from the same lineage I thought it would be a review of the same tools just from a different teacher, but I've found fundamental differences that are well-suited for me. Without going into detail about the differences, I'll just say the Jaguar Path protocols and methodologies put more control and emphasis in the client's hands, where the healing actually lies. Ray and Nina, I have so much love and gratitude for you both. Your degree of professionalism, attention to detail, and love for your students and each other sets you apart from other teachers I’ve had. You make serious work fun. You make nine months go by very quickly:) I look forward to many more months and years of learning, expanding, and retreating together.

    I received an email from Deva and Miten with a link to the Jaguar Path and it strongly resonated with me. I have known that the black
    panther was my power animal for years. I have had many inner journeys that featured shamans across different centuries and varied cultures. The training allowed me to come fully into myself and discover more of the truth of who I truly am. I was susceptible to the crossed-eyed, rolling eyeballs of others
    even as I recognized what a precious gift I had been given. Now I wear the "shaman" like an old, comfortable pair of jeans, soft and supple, flowing with me. I stride unapologetically into the world of being who I am, neither shouting it out nor hiding it, simply being me and being of service.

    Ray and Nina, I am super grateful for this nine-month journey we’ve been on together. I chose this training, or it chose me because I was following my intuition in wanting to learn more about shamanism. This training has been very meaningful. Especially the time we shared together! Being immersed in such a loving and safe container was very healing. I was able to let my guard down and to fully be myself. I felt as if we all already knew each other. Everyone felt like an old friend. Such a powerful and beautiful experience. I’m beyond grateful. Thank you!
