Practising with a buddy or not?
As preparation for your journey with this course, it’s important to clarify whether you are doing the course with a practice buddy or practice buddies, in which case each of you needs to go through the course in sync with each other, as you build this skill set together, step by step. I suggest you make a clear contract about your commitment to each other and the course, including how often you will meet to practice together. If we don’t explicitly negotiate there, we can set ourselves (or each other) up for disappointment. Please note that if you are doing the journey with a buddy, then it is important to do the solo practices with yourself and your Wise Elder too.
Practising Solo
And if you are doing this Course solo, then may I extend a very warm welcome to you and to the solo journey which can be so profound. I suggest you make a clear and explicit contract with yourself (which is equally important) about how often you will meet with yourself to practise with your Wise Elder and take your next step with the course.
A Couple of Things you'll Need:
Whether you are working solo or with a practice buddy, there are a couple of simple things you will need:
After you finish this course, you'll receive a certificate of completion from Ya'Acov and Susannah to honour your learning journey.
I trust and hope that learning, practising and applying this skill set will touch your life and the other lives your life touches in a good way. I wish you very well with continuing your human journey with this tool kit of embodied listening skills.
All the very best with your journey,
Susannah Darling Khan
The Phoenix Process was developed by the Founders of Movement Medicine, Ya'Acov & Susannah Darling Khan. For the first time, this will now be offered online.
The 5-week Phoenix Workshop is designed to catalyse you into a new level of embodied awareness, enabling you to assume more responsibility for your life. You will be guided to see your whole life as a creative project and all that you carry within you as potential medicine for being who you are and giving what you’ve got.
The Phoenix Process is a trauma aware soul retrieval and development process. It will help you to shift the balance of power inside yourself as you discover that for the soul, all that you carry within you is potential medicine for being who you are and giving what you’ve got. The Phoenix is also a gateway workshop for those who wish to take part in any Movement Medicine Apprenticeship Programmes.
The cost of the workshop will include an explorer pass for the Movement Medicine Study Hub. Each week, Ya’Acov will be inviting you to include specific lesson in your practice. This brings a whole new resource to your study and it will help you to gain maximum benefit from the workshop.
Please understand that this workshop is for personal training only. I am not teaching you to share this work with others. Participating in this workshop does not give you the right to share the material with others and by participating you are agreeing to that condition as part of the terms and conditions of participation.
After you finish this workshop, you'll receive a certificate of completion from Ya'Acov to honour your learning journey
It is vitally important that you have the inner resources and external support where necessary to keep you grounded and within your own capacity when participating in a powerfully catalytic process such as this course. This work is not for everyone. If you have a history of emotional or mental instability, please consult with a health care professional before continuing with the course.
I am delighted you have heard the call for this programme. I wish you all grace, self-care and a well-crafted blend of kindness and commitment as you travel through the landscapes that this work will no doubt catalyse in you. At any point in your work, if you find that the material that arises is too much to manage by yourself, it is incumbent upon you to make sure you get the support you need to be able to work with this material in a beneficial way. There is always support when we humble and empower ourselves enough to recognise that we need it and then ask.
As soon as you have been accepted on the workshop, please go to the pre-workshop preparation module and give as much to time to your preparation as possible.
See you on the workshop and wishing you all the very best with your journey,
Ya’Acov Darling Khan
Power, Presence & Purpose at the Core of Who You Are
We are delighted to present Part Three of Encounter, a three-part course. Parts One and Two are available to study here and both are prerequisites to be able to study Part Three. The work from Parts One and two will be strongly referenced throughout Part Three and you will get much more from the course by reviewing the work from Encounter One and Two. The whole three-part series is designed to take you, step-by-step, through the process of meeting, embodying and learning to work with your Inner Shaman on a day-to-day basis.
The Inner Shaman walks between the worlds of so-called dream and so-called reality. They are an enigmatic character, living out on the edge of the psyche, conversing with the spirits, entranced by the artistry and mystery of life. They are lifelong students of this intelligence as it moves through nature, the human body-heart-mind and the systems and structures that shape our experience of life. For those brought up in the industrialised world, the Inner Shaman is a dancer.
So many of us suffer from a loss of meaningful connection to soul in self, other and nature. To compensate, we consume more and more in the vain hope that we can fill the hole inside us, trashing ourselves and the planet in the process. The Inner Shaman creates the rituals and initiations to reconnect us to the bigger picture in which we see how the story we are telling imprisons or liberates our perception.
The Inner Shaman is part of your humanity. To encounter them and discover what they know is not reserved for some special brand of human being. They are as down to earth as you can get whilst remaining connected to the stars. They walk the bridge between how we imagine life to be and how it actually is. And discovering them is a matter of choice, practice, determination and often, humour. Your relationship with them, like all relationships, will deepen according to the time and attention you give it.
Personal Power comes from the medicine we have made from our experiences. Choosing to use that power in service of who we are, life itself and the generations who will follow is the art of taking responsibility for our lives. From the work we have already done in Encounter 1 & 2, your Inner Shaman is perfectly placed to support you in that journey and to partner with the source.” Ya’Acov Darling Khan
As always, Movement Medicine is about the dance. And so, Encounter is not suitable for disembodied space cadets and vision junkies who think of shamanism as a competitive journey to have the most far out experiences as often as possible. This workshop is for you if you are determined to make the very most of your life, by embracing your biography and your ancestry as inspiration to be who you are and give what you came here to give.
As part of the course, it is very helpful to have access to the resources and materials that are available on our Study Hub. Throughout the course, Ya'Acov recommends various lessons and practices from the Hub to support your journey.
Listening Circle 1: Friday May 5 (90 minutes) morning or evening or Sunday morning May 7
n.b. Due to the fact that 5th May is also the Tribal Heart Beltane Ceremony, the evening Listening Circle for this week will happen at 5pm (UK time)
Listening Circle 2: Friday May 12 (90 minutes) morning or evening Sunday morning May 14
Listening Circle 3: Friday May 19 (90 minutes) morning or evening Sunday morning May 21
Listening Circle 4: Friday May 26 (90 minutes) morning or evening Sunday morning May 28
The workshop is carefully structured to bring you to the next step of embodied learning, as you build your4 bridge across the arc of time and dedicate yourself to partnering with the source.
However you choose to engage with the material, there are a couple of simple things you will need:
After you finish the course, you'll receive a certificate of completion from Ya'Acov to honour your learning journey.

We are delighted to present Part Two of Encounter, a three-part course. Part One is available to study here and is strongly recommended as a prerequisite to be able to study Part Two. The work from Part One is referenced throughout Part Two and you will get much more from the course by doing Part One first. The whole three-part series is designed to take you, step-by-step, through the process of meeting, embodying and learning to work with your Inner Shaman.

Having met your Inner Shaman in Part One, it’s time to put them to work in service of your own deeper awakening. We’re going to hunt and gather the medicine they need to make the strongest impact possible in your day-to-day. Through A Basket Full of Medicine, you will learn about:
You'll be challenged to celebrate your strengths and be honest about your weaknesses. You'll be invited to study, practice and self-reflect. To be kind and yet honest with yourself will be an important key.

Click here for your Hub Explorer Pass if you wish to take advantage of this special offer. Although we recommend this package, it is also completely fine to work with the course material without the input from the Study Hub material.
Each module is carefully structured to bring you to the next step of embodied learning, as you gather your basket full of medicine. By the completion of the course, you will have a strong ground and some powerful tools to work with to support you to continue to deepen your ongoing, everyday relationship to the Inner Shaman and the strength, resource and creativity they bring.

You will also be eligible to continue the journey with Encounter Part Three, taught live online by Ya’Acov, in March 2023.
The workshop is an intensive journey over three weeks, incorporating live sessions with Ya'Acov each week, your Facilitated Listening Circle with a small group, a check-in with your study buddy, and your daily power hour.
MODULE 1: Tender & Wild
‘Originally, sexual pleasure was…….that which united humans with nature in general. When sexual feelings and religious feelings became separated from one another, the sexual……became the bad….the diabolical.’ Wilhelm Reich
Since everyone coming to Encounter Part Two will have completed Part One, let’s start in the deep end shall we? In Module one, we will explore this territory with the intention of healing and empowerment. For the Inner Shaman, sexual energy is the unbroken force of life itself. It is the source of their personal power and it is sacred, embodied and available not just for procreation, but for the whole art of creation for manifestation in life.
MODULE 2: The Animal Intelligence of the Shaman’s Heart
‘I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself.’ D.H. Lawrence
Module two focuses on your emotional intelligence. For the Inner Shaman, all the different expressions of the heart are like weather. And though they may prefer one weather to another, they understand fully that all weathers are necessary for a healthy human life enriched by relationship with the world around them. Learning to work with E-Motion (meaning Energy in Motion) gives the Inner Shaman a flexibility and strength that combines their animal instincts with their human capacity to reflect and be conscious of how emotion enriches life.
MODULE 3: Vicious Circles
‘Shamanic Healing is a journey. It involves stepping out of our habitual roles, our conventional scripts, and improvising a dancing path.’ Gabrielle Roth
In modules three and four, our focus shifts to the archetypal. In a world in which we are educated to feel sorry for ourselves and to live inside the story of our own disempowerment, the Inner Shaman works to change this perpetual drain on their energy. For themselves yes. But also, for all that they love. The Inner Shaman has access to a circle of archetypes, each of which is medicine for the different aspects of the vicious circle that cause so much ongoing suffering in and for our world. In a very real sense, this is life-changing.
MODULE 4: Medicine Circles
‘Those who say forgiveness is a sign of weakness haven’t tried it.’ Archbishop Desmond Tutu
‘Name it to tame it’ is a useful phrase for the Inner Shaman. Having bravely entered the painful territory of how the roles in a vicious circle support the ongoing destruction of trust in ourselves, each other and life, it is time to explore the archetypal medicine that the Inner Shaman has available to them. The strength of the Inner Shaman is the direct result of the alchemical blend of The Wounder Healer, The Dancing Warrior, The Dancing Fool and The Wise Elder. In this module, our work will be to discover the powerful potential of how this works in you.
MODULE 5: Lead into Gold: Initiation through Movement Medicine Ceremony
‘That’s what alchemists do. They show that when we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better to.’ Paolo Coelho
Module Five focuses on the alchemical process that is now available to you through this Basket Full of Medicine. For the Inner Shaman, lead (meaning the poison that we carry from our unhealed experience and that of our families and ancestors) is nothing more than an invitation to create gold. Why gold? Because gold is known for its stability – whatever you try to do it, it remains gold. This stability is the personal power of self-knowledge or the gold of the soul. From this ground, the Inner Shaman is ready to take responsibility for their lives.
MODULE 6: Integration And Completion
‘The Inner Shaman knows who you are and what that life force that’s beating your heart right now is capable of. And they know that the life of future generations is in all of our hands. They grieve for what we’ve lost, but they remain full of gratitude for the strong-hearted and courageous dreams of what we yet might create.’ Ya’Acov Darling Khan
Module six is where we bring all the elements of Encounter Part Two together, assess what we have learned, and turn our focus towards the road ahead. How might the Inner Shaman become an even deeper ally in all areas of your life: health, embodiment, ritual and dreaming, relationship and of course, your contribution to the world? What might be your next steps on the path? Integration is often underrated and yet it is the only way to bring the workshop experience into the dance of everyday life. The Inner Shaman knows that how we end one thing is how we begin the next. And so, completion and integration, since they are the next steps, are the most important ones on the journey so far.

This is Part One of a three-part course. Part One is the prerequisite to be able to study Part Two Live with Ya’Acov in May 2022.
The Inner Shaman is part of our humanity. To encounter them and discover what they know is not reserved for some special brand of human being. They are as down to earth as you can get whilst remaining connected to the stars. They walk the bridge between how we imagine life to be and how it actually is. And discovering them is a matter of choice, practice, determination and often, humour.
You'll be challenged to celebrate your strengths and be honest about your weaknesses. You'll be invited to study, practice and self-reflect. To be kind and yet honest with yourself will be an important key.
Encounter is Part One of a three-part series. This workshop series is designed to activate and bring into your day-to-day life the teachings of SHAMAN, Ya’Acov Darling Khan’s book, published by Hay House in Spring 2020.
M1 – Movement is the Medicine
M2 – Ritual & The Imaginal Realm
M3 – The Tree of Life & the Three Worlds
M4 – The Unbroken & Your Elemental Nature
M5 – The Hollow Bone: A Personal Encounter with An Ancient Friend
M6 – Completion & Integration
Each module will take you a step further, teaching you new skills that build on what you have already learnt. By the completion of the course, you will have a solid foundation, what we call a liberating structure, to support you to deepen your ongoing, everyday relationship to the Inner Shaman and the strength, resource and creativity they bring.
You will also be eligible for Encounter Part Two – A Basket Full of Medicine, taught by Ya’Acov, beginning May 2022.
As a self-study course, it is up to you to determine how long you wish to take to complete the modules. The full timings for each module are available as part of the materials in Module 1. To give you a sense, each module relates to a chapter in my book, Shaman, and so I suggest you read the chapter relating to each module as you begin the module. Each module begins with a 20 minute audio teaching, continues with an introduction, a time to focus and then the embodied practice. The embodied practice ranges from 20-45 minutes and leads you up to the ceremony for which you will need 1 hour 40 minutes.
Ya'Acov writes:
"I wanted the workshop to be a game-changer for people and therefore, I suggested that each day, participants took the time for their 'power hour,' a time to be with the process of Encounter in embodied enquiry. I believe that taking time to practice every day is super helpful for the process and I would suggest the same for you doing this as a self-paced course. The best way to do that would be to join the 21 Gratitudes Study Hub where you will find plenty of practice to support you in your journey. If the gates are closed when you check it out, join the waitlist and you will hear as soon as they are open.
It is important that you take the time you need for each step and it is much better to go at your own pace and take in the work than it is to feel pushed by an external schedule. Enjoy!" YDK

The Calm at the Centre of the Storm is a potent place. I like to call it the power of peace because to genuinely embody peace is to sit firmly in the seat of your own personal power. We could all be more powerful than we are. And to have impact in the world, we need to develop personal power. And in order to do that, we need to create a healthy relationship with power itself. That possibility is the creative and healing focus of this 3-day Movement Medicine shamanic journey.
