Shamanism Is Your
Forgotten Nature.
The oldest spiritual practice on Earth is not reserved for the few — it is a human birthright. Learn to journey with the drum, meet your power animal, and walk between the worlds, taught gently and with deep respect for the tradition.
✓ 40,000+ years of practice · ✓ No psychedelics required · ✓ Taught with respect, not mystery-making
What Shamanism Really Is
Behind the drumming and the feathers lies very practical work — remarkably consistent across every culture on Earth. Three threads run through all of it.
Journeying Between Worlds
With the drum, rattle, song, or dance you enter an expanded state of consciousness and travel to meet the helping spirits who guide and teach.
Healing & Wholeness
Soul retrieval, extraction, and ancestral work gently restore what was lost and release what has become a burden — for you and for those you love.
Keeping the Balance
Honouring the spirits of the land and tending the living relationship between people and nature — the quiet heart of every shamanic tradition.
The path is open to everyone
You don’t need to be chosen, gifted, or born into a lineage. Journeying, meeting your power animal, and healing yourself can be learned by anyone with an open heart and a willingness to listen.
Elements of Shamanism
A warm, step-by-step foundation for everything shamanic practice can be. Taught live online in a small group — with recordings, a supportive community, and no prior experience required.
Grounding & the Shamanic State
Learn to enter the journey safely with the drum — no substances required.
Meeting Your Power Animal
The first spirit ally most people meet, and how to build a living relationship.
Journeying & Healing
Travel the Lower, Middle, and Upper Worlds, and bring back what you find.
Next cohort begins 18–19 July 2026 · 5 modules · Live & recorded
You Don’t Walk It Alone
Shamanism has always been practised in community. Ours gathers seekers from around the world to connect, learn, and heal together.
Connect
Meet fellow practitioners in live gatherings and a warm online space — share journeys, ask questions, and feel held.
Learn
Guided drumming journeys, teachings, and Q&A with Carolin — a growing library you can practise with at your own pace.
Heal
Group healing sessions and 1:1 work to gently tend what’s ready to be tended, at a pace that honours you.
The Path of the Paws
An oracle deck of 43 hand-illustrated power animals. When you’re seeking guidance, you draw a card — and the animal that meets you carries a message for exactly where you are.
1 · Ask
Hold a question in your heart — about a choice you’re facing, a feeling, or the path ahead.
2 · Draw
Turn a single card from the deck of forty-three power animals — no experience needed.
3 · Listen
Meet the animal that came to you, and let its message answer what you asked.
Navigating Life With Spirit Animals
The oracle deck has a companion book — The Path of the Paws by Carolin Mallmann — and a free A–Z Spirit Animal Guide to help you meet your first ally.
Grounded Magic
I’m Carolin Mallmann, founder of One Shamanism. I work where ancient wisdom meets modern psychology — the structure of a master-level coach with the soul of a shamanic practitioner.
I gave my learning years to the traditions themselves — shamans in Siberia and Mongolia, a three-year apprenticeship in North America, and core shamanism with the Foundation for Shamanic Studies. And I teach the way I wish it had first been taught to me: gently, clearly, and never from a pedestal.
Where Shamanism Meets the Subconscious Mind
As a Certified NLP Trainer (Society of NLP) — trained directly by Dr. Richard Bandler, the co-founder of NLP — with advanced hypnosis training, I understand trance states from the inside. I can guide you into the journey safely, and help you turn what you find there into lasting change. Ancient practice, understood psychologically — that’s what makes this path different.
“The shaman does not stand above the people — the shaman kneels between the worlds, so that others may stand.”— One Shamanism
Journeys Already Begun
“Your way of teaching is mindful, gentle, and yet strong. You accompanied me on the path to becoming whole — I finally know what to do.”
“Through the worlds and the power animals I gained so much more confidence and trust — the most important step back to myself.”
“I find the soul retrieval spot-on and extremely powerful. It gave me so much healing and insight.”
“So well structured and easy to understand. I learned so much and got out of everyday life again — at almost 70 years old.”
“I have rarely met anyone who can pass on so much deep and profound knowledge in one week, with such enthusiasm.”
“Carolin guided me through two power animal journeys — I discovered hidden strengths that help me walk my own path.”

Questions, Gently Answered
Do I need to use psychedelics?
No. Most traditions worldwide use rhythmic drumming, rattling, singing, or dancing. The drum alone can carry you into the journey.
Is shamanism a religion?
No — it is a universal spiritual practice with no dogma and no required beliefs. It works alongside any faith, or none at all.
Do I need to be “gifted” to learn?
The practice of shamanism is a human birthright. While the title “shaman” is rare and given by a community, journeying and healing can be learned by anyone.
Is the training online or in person?
Elements of Shamanism is fully online — join the live rounds or move at your own pace, with lasting access to the recordings. The year-long Shamanic Practitioner Training is hybrid: online across the year plus one immersive week (seven days) in person in Portugal, leading to your certification.
Wisdom for the Journey
Guided journeys, teachings, and word of what’s coming — thoughtfully written, and always worth the open. Unsubscribe any time.
The path is waiting for you,
whenever you feel ready.
Begin with the flagship foundation course, or walk it at your own pace inside the community. Either way, you’ll be gently guided from the very first step.
Next Elements of Shamanism cohort begins 18–19 July 2026.
