Homecoming
A foundation course in shamanic journeying — Hastings Old Town, beginning September 2026.
About the course
The pressures of modern living can sometimes leave us feeling disconnected, even alienated, from life and our deepest selves. Shamanic journeying is a practice that has been around since the dawn of humanity that can help us restore our balance and inner harmony, strengthening our intuitive abilities and sense of interconnection with nature and all life. Parts of the self that we may have lost touch with through hurt or neglect can emerge for healing and reintegration, bringing a greater sense of wholeness.
In this course you will learn to journey in a safe and grounded environment, beginning to develop relationships with shamanic allies — including what are known as power animals — to build a network of resources that support you in everyday life.
Journeying can also be of particular interest to anyone interested in dreams, creative processes and the imaginal realm, Carl Jung's psychology of the collective unconscious, and transpersonal psychology.

About the teacher
I am a BACP accredited, humanistic psychotherapist. I first learned to journey with psychologist Dr Leslie Gray in 2000 as part of a psychotherapy masters programme at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco. After returning to the UK, in 2007 I joined the Homecoming programme created and developed by core staff member and practitioner Judy Hargreaves at humanistic psychotherapy centre Spectrum Therapy in Finsbury Park. In 2018 I trained with Judy to teach Homecoming.
