Many of us reach a point where we find ourselves standing at a crossroads - ready to make a profound and meaningful change in our lives because we cannot continue in the same old way anymore.

This is the Path of the Rainbow Warrior.

Many of us reach a point where we find ourselves standing at a crossroads - ready to make a profound and meaningful change in our lives because we cannot continue in the same old way anymore.

This is the calling of the Rainbow Warrior.

The Rainbow Warrior Program is an ancient mystery school, founded in the Twisted Hair Lineage of Wisdom, Teachings and Ceremonies.

In this Program you will travel alongside the age-old footsteps of the Twisted Hair Elders , discovering your natural self through your own self-growth and excellence. As our Teachers have taught us and theirs before them, each Rainbow Warrior is dedicated to living and walking their life in beauty.

As in the old way of Apprenticeship, the student is guided through the first 5 major processes of personal  transformation called Gateways.

Each Gateway includes 5 training weekends rich with shamanic knowledge, teachings & ceremonies rooted in the study of nature, psychology, human physiology, spirituality, science & philosophy.

These Gateways provide an alchemical process designed to strip away unproductive beliefs and behaviours and uncover the True Nature Spirit Personality of the Apprentice.

As a Rainbow Warrior, you will get to know your true self.

Self-knowledge sets you free to be who you really are and get on with the business of designing a life of health, happiness and harmony.

THE Training Program AT A GLANCE

The Rainbow Warrior Shamanic Training Program begins in April and ends in February each year.
It includes five (2-night residential) Training Weekends.

 We use a blended teaching style with an organic approach to each experience we share.

The Program will challenge you to become the student. Emptying your cup and letting go of what you think you know, makes space to discover what is genuinely true. It is a dynamic journey that requires your willingness to release all the ways you shaped yourself to fit in, conform, and belong.


With each training weekend we venture ever deeper into exploration of the ancient Medicine Wheels. Each day includes teachings, group activities & exercises, interactive & exploratory discussion, body-mind-heart integration techniques, personal reflection time, powerful ancient ceremonies, storytelling & sharing, techniques of discipline, tools for application & more.

 
The Rainbow Warrior Program consists of Five Gateways, after which you become eligible for Rainbow Lodge as a Senior Apprentice to further your leadership training.

Although the Rainbow Warrior path becomes a way of life for many students, there is no expectation of committing to all five years or beyond.

 The goal of The Rainbow Warrior Program is to guide you from being at the effect of life, into being the determiner of your own life and we do this one year and one Gateway at a time.

RW-BLANKETING

STEP 1: LET'S TALK

If enrolling as a Rainbow Warrior calls to your spirit and touches your heart, then let's arrange to meet in person or by video-chat.

Due to the depth and nature of this Program we only take a limited number of new students each year.
We believe it's important to meet with everyone, sit 'face to face' and feel whether we are a good fit for one another.

Sacred Journeys - Shamanic Training Centre reserves the right to accept selected students each year.
