We join together on our 3 day shamanic camp retreat with ceremony, sacred celebration, dance, trance, workshops, social time, central fire, drumming, healings and teachings.
First places are open to those who’ve completed (or undergoing) the Shamans Quest Practitioner training. (and +1’s) . It will then be opened up. The ethos of this camp is to be as low impact and environmentally responsible as possible.

Gateway to the Shamanic Pathway - an Introduction
19th September 2026
A 1 day introduction to shamanism and the shamanic pathway.
Led by Derek Gane, we shall step out to explore the basics of shamanic journeying and the various techniques used on the journey. We will discover how to connect and work with our allies and totem animals and start to understand the role of the healer in the shamanic world.
We will explore the use of the drum and rattle as shamanic tools. Some of this work will be deepening our connection with the elements of nature so please wear suitable clothes.
I work extensively as a shamanic healer from the Healing Tree Centre and I have been teaching shamanic practice for over 24 years and the Shamans Quest Practitioner training is now in its 15th year.
This day can be used as a gateway to the Shamans Quest Practitioner training that starts, with two groups, in October 2026 and another in April 2027 and follows the wheel of the year, though this 1 day is also stand alone, as an introduction, and open to all.
£65 for the day.
Plant based soup and bread lunch provided.
