Course Description
Welcome to the path of direct revelation, sewn in the stars and sprouted in the earth. Awaken your own inner authority, delight in your own unique essence and give voice to your song that has been ever waiting to sing you. This course will take you on a journey to explore the invisible realms that are all around us, beginning and circling out from your own inner still point. From there, you'll return to yourself, connect in sacred community and merge with the Soul of the World.
For those of you who are new to Shamanistic practice, Shamanism is called the path of direct revelation because here you are given tools to contact your own inner wisdom in order to receive information and guidance for yourself, your community and the world, and to learn how to establish relationships with all of nature: the rock beings, plant spirits, and our animal partners. All of life is alive and has so much to share with us. It’s we who must learn how to listen. Oh, what a blessing it is!
*If you are interested in exploring my work integrating spirit-shamanic journeys with mantra and movement, please visit the "Trilogy of Love" page!
This course is offered in two 8-week sessions.
Session 1: Journeys for Personal Growth and Exploration
In Session 1, we focus on journeys to what are called the Lower World and the Upper World in Shamanistic cosmology to contact spirit animal helpers, guardian spirits and teachers to ask for personal assistance and guidance. Sample journeys include: ask for healing; receive and/or offer forgiveness; uncover and release core beliefs that block the flow of love; hear your power song; dream something into manifestation; tap into infinite abundance.
Session 2: Journeys for Building Relationships with all of Nature
In Session 2, we focus on journeys to what is called the Middle World—the spirit side of our blessed creation. Here we explore what Dr. George Washington Carver knew-how to talk to the flower, peanut and sweet potato and to receive helpful information. Sample journeys include: connect with the Spirit of a favorite rock, plant or animal; explore the elements and constellations; and get to know the Hidden Folk (fairies, elves and forest guardians).

What Participants are Saying ...
I have had the pleasure of taking a few of Rev. Stephanie's classes over the last couple of years and recently completed an 8-week session called "The Path of Direct Revelation: Journeys to the Soul of the World." It was a beautiful and unique exploration of Shamanic "journeying" which was new to me. I felt very safe and comfortable sharing my experiences with the Zoom group, thanks to Stephanie's unique loving guidance and knowledge of the materials. I would highly recommend taking any of Rev. Stephanie's courses.

Shamanic practice is as Rev. Dr. Rutt calls it "the direct path to revelation." I benefit so much from these rich journeys to the upper, middle and lower worlds where I can call on animal spirit guides and spirit teachers. Rev. Dr. Stephanie is a trusted guide who facilitates these experiences with safety and care. The love for me in the invisible worlds touches me with healing and joy. Shamanic journeying is an ancient practice that connects me to myself, to God and to the earth. It is an essential prayer at this time in our planetary history.
-Carol LaChance
I joined the class with limited understanding of what a Shamanic Practice was, or how it might offer insight. In truth, I entered with some skepticism -- for while I've done many spiritual workshops and classes, I had yet to wander in this particular direction. I am so very glad that I did! With love, wisdom and gentle guidance, I found myself meeting myself, my soul, and my world in whole new ways. What a surprise, to find myself having a conversation with a tree, to walk through the garden of my own sacred soul, to unearth new insight from the very air! What a surprise, to learn a new language at 63 years old -- for all of nature met me on each Shamanic journey, showering me with the unexpected; while I in turn, learned to lean in, look closer, and meet every seed, each squirrel, all the sunflowers and stones and sands, with reciprocal respect and love. Shamanic Practice has helped me understand and strengthen the relationship I have with my heart, mind, spirit and the world around me. By offering these guided journeys, a safe community, a place for journaling, and gentle and loving feedback and reflection, Stephanie has unlocked a door I had yet to explore -- and a benevolent universe I can return to again and again, deepening my spiritual connection with nature, others, and the divine. Leave all skepticism at the door and walk with us across new thresholds; you'll be very glad you did!

Stephanie is a bright ray of light who leads us in opportunities to meet ourselves through shamanic journeying. Her deep experience, and great joy provide a safe and exciting container in which to do this work. Being with her is a blessing not to be missed.

I have Just finished my second twelve-week Shamanic Journeys class with Rev. Dr. Stephanie Rutt. Before this I had no exposure to, or experience of, Shamanic practices.
I found Shamanic Journeying to be a profound encounter with the Divine. I loved meeting spirit animals and helpers. Most of all I loved meeting the fairies, because I was entirely skeptical about the existence of the fairies, and yet I now wholeheartedly embrace their presence.
Shamanic journeying is a means of direct revelation from the Divine. You will not be the same once you engage with this practice. The body, mind, soul and spirit are touched by the Divine hand. You begin to see with the eyes of the heart. This practice expands one’s understanding in an almost miraculous way.
Rev. Dr. Stephanie is a very safe pair of hands. With decades of experience as a therapist, professor, Interfaith minister, author, and visionary, Stephanie holds the sacred circle with grace, insight and love. You are seen, you are held, you are protected, you are safe.
The journeys I have experienced in this class confirmed in a very intimate way that God is love that I am precious in their sight, that I have a calling, a job to do and I am equipped to do it.
I learned that I have access to the hosts of heaven and all the wisdom contained there. I just need to ask. “Ask and it will be given unto you, seek and you will find” Hebrew bible, Matthew 7:7. “If anyone lacks wisdom let him ask of God” Hebrew bible, James 1:5.
If you are ready and seeking a deeper more profound encounter with LOVE this class is for you. If you want greater insight into your own heart, this is the class for you. If you want to serve and answer your sacred call, this is the class for you.
