Celtic Shamanic
Initiation
A 13 month program
Discover the ancient wisdom and spiritual depth of Celtic Shamanism.
Have you ever felt a deep pull toward the sacred landscapes, mystical traditions, and untamed spirit of the Celts?
Answer the sacred call to ancestral wisdom and step into a world where myth and magic intertwine, where the land itself whispers ancient truths, and where you can reclaim the deep spiritual practices of Celtic cosmology.
Imagine walking between worlds, forging deep bonds with the spirits of the land, and discovering sacred practices that have guided seekers for millennia. Through guided rituals, journeying, and ancient teachings, you will step into the heart of Celtic shamanism and awaken its magic within you.
What is Celtic Shamanism?
The Celts were a people deeply connected to earth and spirit, their culture spanning from Britain to the Black Sea and preserved through the languages and traditions of the British Isles. Rooted in a cosmology of interconnected realms, they lived in reciprocity with the natural world, perceiving mysteries beyond the visible spheres, and practicing rituals that aligned them with the sacred cycles of the earth. Among them were shamans—bards, seers, and healers—who guided their communities. But the wisdom of shamanism was embraced by all peoples in the ancient world as a way to connect with self, nature, and the sacred.
Celtic shamanism invites us to reclaim this connection—to the wisdom flowing through us, the rhythms of nature, and the unseen realms where spirit and matter intertwine. It is a transformative path that restores our direct relationship with the divine, reminding us that we are all spiritual guides in our own lives. Through shamanic journeys, stories, songs, and rituals, we can access the sacred guidance still available to us today.

The Celtic Shamanic Mentorship will empower you to develop a powerful spiritual practice, cultivate your healing gifts, and integrate these knowings into your life.
While deeply transformative, this course is intended as a personal journey of self-discovery and empowerment with a foundational immersion in Celtic cosmology, rather than a formal certification in shamanic practice.

Meet Your Facilitators
This 13-month Celtic Shamanism Mentorship is led by Shamanic Healer, Spiritual Mentor, Intuitive Guidance Counsellor and Meditation Teacher - Tansy Baigent.
With a dedicated and compassionate approach, Tansy integrates ancient wisdom traditions with modern therapeutic techniques to support individuals on their healing journey, with the understanding that true healing arises from recognizing and reconnecting with the essence of 'the self'.
Tansy was trained in the Celtic Shamanic tradition by some of Englands' most esteemed Celtic Shamans', and uses her expertise and experience of journeying to support and help heal others.
Joining us once a month, Visual Storyteller, Somatic Guide, and Carrier of Sacred Song, Jenn Gaudreau, will guide us through song practices to deepen our connection with the natural world, Celtic tradition, and the aliveness of our voices.
Jenn holds warm and nurturing spaces through ceremony, somatic practices, sacred song, and voice medicine that help people connect to their hearts, remember their innate wholeness, and come home to themselves. She weaves practices from her lineages of Celtic spirituality, Amazonian medicine music, and the Mexica Moondance to help individuals live out their own personal narratives more vibrantly and contribute to a life of flourishing, wellbeing, and collective liberation.
"Tansy is a wise, receptive and compassionate healer. She is able to convey complexity in a modern and approachable way, helping all who seek to get in the river.
[It is] hard to find teachers like Tansy in these modern times, especially one who is so generous with their time and offerings"
