PERSPECTIVE APPRENTICE
Dear Prospective Apprentice, we recomend that you educate yourself
about other training programs offered by various Holistic Healing centers
and make comparisons so that you can make the wisest choice for your
particular desires. We hope that the following information about our training
program will help you to choose the program that best suits your unique
needs. Metis Shamanism is a body of knowledge that helps people learn about many different foundations of Shamanism as well as develop
knowledge of various healing modalities. We have designed this program to be less focused on getting certified (though certification is a part of the program)and more focused on gaining mastery. It is a program that may challenge you and that you will be proud of completing.
CHOOSING A PROGRAM
1) Four year certificate = Metis Shamanic Practitioner
2) Six year certificate = Metis Shaman
The first 4 years of study are for the most part standard in the training techniques. The program of study will cover many healing modalities practiced by Metis Shamanic Practitioners. Knowledge & information to be included are Native American, Hawaiian, Celtic, African, South American, Asian, & many other Shamanic customs & celebrations. Advance Studies in Years 5 & 6 includes Metis Shaman teaching, & individualized programs.
EVALUATIONS & CERTIFICATION
At the end of two years an evaluation will be conducted to review the progress of the apprentice. This allows for the program of study to be tailored for each individual. Goals & achievements can be projected to enable the programs success.
At the end of 4 years a final evaluation will be conducted to discuss the skill & knowledge level attained by the apprentice during their apprenticeship. An Initiation ceremony will be conducted to install the apprentice into the position of Metis Shamanic Practitioner. A certificate of completion will then be issued. Upon reaching this level the practitioner will be eligible for advance study in the Metis Shamanic Ways. Discussion on future years of study can be projected at this time if the apprentice chooses to complete their education to become a Metis Shaman.

TESTIMONIALS
"My husband, our 5-year-old daughter, our 2-year-old daughter, and I all had
the pleasure of experiencing the First Four Munay-Ki Rites from Charles Lightwalker. It was very
powerful for our entire family. Our two-year-old was very resistant at
first, but after she received the Rites she was SOOOOO much calmer! Our
extremely boisterous 5-year-old was still and attentive the whole time. My
husband said the Rites made him feel'elevated'. As for me, it was such a big
energy shift, I was tired for days. Then I came out of it with a BANG! I
feel clear, energized and in-tune with the Universe."
Trade ya!
Thanks,

Hi, Charles!
I was so delighted with the class learning to channel. Thanks you so much for being such an excellent teacher. I respect & value your spiritual knowledge. You are an awesome shaman. Yes, you can pat your-self on the back cause you rock.
I been also looking forward to hearing the CD meditation but my copy of the CD is completely blank. Can you please issue me a recorded copy of the meditation CD, I can pick it up or you can mail it to me. Let me know what is more convenient for you so we can make arrangement.
