The School of Shamanic Womancraft (SSW) Apprenticeship Program nurtures and grows the new leaders of the new paradigm that holds at its heart a sense of inner authority and inner power for all involved.
The Apprentice is a woman, a graduate of the School of Shamanic Womancraft Four or Eight Seasons Journey (4/8SJ), awake to the transformational potential of the inner shamanic journey inherent in the ongoing cycle of everything.
She is able and prepared to ‘hold the space’ for others, and able and prepared to delve deeply for herself.
The Apprentice holds the community of women united for this purpose fulfilling her role as required.
The Apprentice Program is intended to contribute to the missions of ‘spreading the word’, ‘raising consciousness’ and to participate in the healing of the feminine.
Each Apprentice needs to practice and develop an experiential understanding of this Shamanic Womancraft ‘way’ in their daily life, especially the wisdom of the cycles, honouring the sabbats and lunar phases, in order to be a living example of the work.
Graduate Programs

Outline
Each graduate program has a comprehensive curriculum designed to support the Apprentice to gain the skills required to run programs and deepen their inner knowing of the art of Shamanic Womancraft.
ENROLMENT
The Apprentice program and the teacher training program are open to all 4/8SJ graduates who wish to learn how to become teachers of the 4/8SJ or wish to study the material and gain the skills required to birth their own work.
Praxis and the Workshop Apprenticeship are also open to graduates of Earth Woman with a teacher and the Earth Woman Rising retreat, by application.
Applicants will undertake an innerview where their previous skills, knowledge and goals for the future will be discussed.
In some situations we recommend an integration year between completing your 4/8SJ as a journey woman and beginning an Apprenticeship with the SSW.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR TEACHING
Once an Apprenticeship Program has been completed, you will be listed on the School of Shamanic Womancraft website as a graduate of this program.
There are multiple opportunities for Teachers to teach new and emerging programs with the SSW including:
Four/Eight Seasons journey
If an in-person teaching position is available within the School, you may have the opportunity to work for the SSW. New Four and Eight Seasons Journey programs are created in line with the larger vision of the expansion of the School and not all locations will be considered for future courses.
