The Tourist or Beginner - dipping a toe in for the first time. The Apprentice - an on-off relationship with shamanism, not yet a consistent practice. The Journeyman - building practice into ordinary life, developing trust. The Master or Inner Door student - practice has become second-nature, now with sufficient experience to initiate others and take on apprentices. I work closely with my guides with the sole aim of making the learner reliant on their own guides as soon as possible, to become independent journeymen/women.
