The Art of Psychopomp: Shamanic Approaches to Death & Dying
October 26-27, 2024
ONLINE
A 2-day online Training
Death touches all of us. If we’re lucky enough to live long lives ourselves, we’re bound to lose many loved ones along the way. And we know that for us too, death will come.
But rather than fear this natural transition, what if we embraced it?
In this workshop, we’ll explore the world of death and dying with compassion and open minds. Traditions around the world will guide our journey, as we pay particular attention to the role of the psychopomp — the guider of souls.
In this workshop, you’ll explore both shamanic concepts and skills around the afterlife, including:
What happens when we die?
Is there a way to reconcile beliefs around reincarnation with the presence of ancestral spirits?
What are ghosts, and can they impact our lives?
How can we engage with spirits in other realms safely — and on our own terms?
Who are the psychopomps, and why are they important?
What does it mean if YOU are a psychopomp?
Plus, you’ll learn powerful skills for actively helping souls transition to their next stage of evolution.
In shamanism, we heal the living and the dead. I hope you join us for this important workshop.
Join us when the veils thin and the ancestors are awake…
the Art of Psychopomp: Shamanic Approaches to Death & Dying
Saturday October 26th & Sunday October 27th
8am - 2pm PT, Each day
ONLINE
(This course is live only - no recordings will be shared)
Prerequisite: Introduction to Shamanism/Journey Experience
Space is limited to ensure that you receive the attention you need.
You will have direct access to me throughout the entire workshop, and everyone will have ample time to ask questions and receive personal feedback.
As fun as it is to study with someone as popular as Sandra Ingerman (I know—she’s been my mentor for 5+ years!), you can get lost in bigger groups.
This is a really special opportunity to receive Sandra’s direct teachings, as well as my personal techniques developed in partnership with spirit, in an intimate, personalized setting.
★If you do wish to study with Sandra, this training fulfills her official Death & Dying prerequisite.★

Welcome! I’m Juniper Stokes, and I am devoted to supporting you on your journey of connecting to nature, spirit, and the cosmos.
I’ve been studying, practicing, and teaching spiritual rewilding and shamanism for over two decades.
I’m also a recommended teacher and approved to teach advanced shamanic workshops by Sandra Ingerman.
Over the years, I’ve completed a 3-year shamanic practitioner training, two-year teacher training with Sandra Ingerman, and extensive study with Betsy Bergstrom. I also have formal training in Mayan, Norse, Celtic, Taoist, and Egyptian animist practices, as well as Western magic traditions.
In addition to teaching, I’ve been supporting clients with shamanic healing, spiritual counsel, and depth coaching since 2017.
Integrity and service are at the heart of my offerings…as is joy! This is serious work and we don’t shy from shadow, but we do laugh our way though.
I can’t wait to meet you!

There are many ways you can fulfill the prerequisites. Taking my online intro course in August is probably the best way. If that doesn't work for you but you're called to this course, reach out and let me know if you’d like support in preparing for this training.
