BE YOUR OWN SHAMAN
A Live Weekend Retreat for Soulful High Achievers Ready to Tap Into Their True Power
“Shamanism represents the most widespread and ancient methodological system of mind-body healing known to humanity.”
Michael Harner, PhD.
Imagine if you could…
…get answers to your biggest life questions, not from a book, a coach, or a committee—but straight from the source.
…unlock energy, wisdom, and healing you didn’t know was inside you.
…wake up feeling guided, purposeful—and whole.
Now imagine doing all that… in one weekend.
Welcome to a powerful, immersive online retreat designed for smart, capable professionals who are done pretending everything’s fine—and ready to access the deeper intelligence within them.
You’ll leave this retreat not with vague inspiration, but with tangible tools and lasting inner connection.
What Makes This Different?
Most spiritual programs give you vague affirmations or endless Zoom calls.
This weekend is different.
It’s not about learning more.
It’s about remembering who you are.
This is hands-on, soul-deep work—designed to connect you with your own power and your own guidance, in a way that’s real, grounded, and completely life-changing.
You’ll do the work during the weekend, not just think about it.
By the end, you won’t just know about shamanic tools—you’ll have used them. And they’ll be yours to use forever.
This Retreat Is For You If…
You’ve spent your life ticking the boxes—but still feel like something’s missing.
You’ve tried therapy, coaching, maybe even meditation—but haven’t yet felt truly seen or transformed.
You want practical ways to connect with the Divine—and live from that truth every day.
You’re burned out from being the “fixer,” the achiever, the one holding it all together—and you’re craving a sacred space to fall apart… and come back together stronger.
Here’s What You’ll Learn:
1. How to Journey Beyond Ordinary Reality
Learn the foundational tools of core shamanism to access non-ordinary states of consciousness and meet the Spirit Helpers who have always walked with you.
2. How to Receive Real Guidance & Healing
Use ancient divination and healing techniques to get clarity, comfort, and direction for the areas of your life that feel stuck, overwhelming, or lost.
3. How to Feel at Home Wherever You Are
Connect to the “spirits of place” so you can ground, feel supported, and belong—no matter where you are in the world (or what chaos surrounds you).
4. How to Create Your Personal Spirit Map
Explore sacred inner realms like your Spirit Healing Garden, the Cave of the Heart, the Eden Garden, and more—and begin to receive personal teachings, initiations, and wisdom for the journey ahead.

Integration & Close
Hi there, I'm Andrew Wayfinder—architect turned psychotherapist turned shamanic teacher, healer and guide.
In 2008, a chance encounter with a shaman opened my eyes to the magic and power of this path. (A journey I describe in
"Free Your Soul: A How-To Guide & Story About Discovering Your Life's Purpose.')
After that, I dove deep into shamanism—working with a Mexica shaman here in London, training at the Sacred Trust in Dorset, and completing the 'Advanced Shamanic Healing' Training at the Foundation for Shamanic Studies in California.
In 2012, I closed my psychotherapy practice to focus on shamanic healing and guidance. Since then, I've guided clients in the UK, US, Europe, Australia, and India on their transformative journeys. I ran a thriving 400-member shamanism MeetUp in London for 3.5 years, offering retreats and trainings that healed, transformed, and helped people grow in many areas of their lives.
To deepen my skills and knowledge, I regularly meet with fellow shamans and practitioners to expand our abilities and further our commitment to serving life and the planet.
