Expand your perception of who you are, enrich your spiritual life, and align with your place in the Ancestral Grand Plan.
Experience the Spirit Canoe Journey to the Star Ancestors — and be of healing service to your descendents.

Shamanic wisdom is essential today… for your own wellbeing and that of our world.

Shamanic wisdom centers and calms you — and guides you to make clear decisions and take steady action in times of crisis.

And there is one form of Shamanic wisdom that will equip you with the skills and tools to step into your birthright as a Visionseeker — an inspired visionary who bridges physical reality and the spirit realms for healing and transformation.

As a Visionseeker, you can journey across time and space, connect with Spirit Teachers, travel by Spirit Canoe to the Star Ancestors… and bring back life-sustaining gifts.

Yet, to walk this path with integrity, you need first to find rootedness within yourself, and realize that you have a birth responsibility: to embody humility, reverence, and discipline.

This first step is the key to authentic shamanic initiations, which provide sustenance and wisdom for navigating your everyday life and serving as a healing force for our planet.

Renowned shamanism teacher and anthropologist Hank Wesselman can guide you on this path…

The Visionseeker’s path is rooted in important, sacred knowledge passed on to Hank through Hale Makua, a revered Hawaiian kahuna elder:

In order to experience authentic initiation, you have to know who you are. The main problem in the world today is that most people have little to no understanding as to who they really are, and so many are in confusion, and most in the transformational community are still in search of authentic initiation.
Know Your Place in the Unfolding of the Ancestral Grand Plan

Over the course of this comprehensive, 4-month inner journey with Hank, you’ll land more deeply within your true Self, experience the journeys and rituals of the healing art of shamanism, and carry the gifts and wisdom forth with honor.

You’ll discover what it takes to be a hollow bone, or clear conduit, for the gifts of the spirit world — becoming aware of and breaking through any inner blocks to physical, emotional, and spiritual healing.

You’ll explore the nature of your three souls, which you embody in each life — and discover how to align them to help you heal and co-create from a more authentic place.

Through the shamanic practice of shapeshifting, you’ll hone your ability to shift your energies to adapt to the demands and challenges of your daily life.

And you’ll deepen your connection with nature, drawing on Her energies… and find your place in the order of things.

All of these practices will bring you closer to your place in the Ancestral Grand Plan — the abundance of Divine Purpose that can be brought into expression upon this planet at any one time.

This plan, set in motion by the ancestors millennia ago, emerges through you, and through all of life. As you step into your role as a Visionseeker, you come closer to aligning with your part in its unfolding — and to helping set intentions and produce outcomes that contribute to your wellbeing, that of others, and of the planet..
The Importance of a Skilled Guide & Visionseeker

When you join this transformative 12-step journey, you’ll be under the safe tutelage of a professional anthropologist.

Hank Wesselman has worked for more than 45 years with scientists investigating the mystery of human origins in the fossil beds of eastern Africa’s Great Rift Valley.

Hank has spent much of his professional life working with Indigenous tribal people, learning their culture, cosmology, and spiritual practices. For 35 years, he’s studied shamanic practices, melding shamanic principles with his anthropological insights to provide us with unique avenues for exploring our connection with our authentic Self, the natural world, and the spirit realm.

During this brand-new advanced program in shamanic exploration, Hank will guide you in voyages of consciousness that can bring deep healing of unresolved emotions and profound openings to a more expanded understanding of reality — and of your Self.
Over the course of this profound journey with Hank, you’ll experience:

Reconnection and enhancement of your relationship with your true Spirit Guide
A return to Nature Mysticism and your place of power in the Dreaming of Nature and with our spirit helpers
An exploration of the spiritual and energetic nature of our boundaries
Discovering and exploring the nature of your birthrights and birth responsibilities

A journey to your Middle boundary, where you practice discernment and the dance of the heart. Who do you invite into this middle layer?
How when your life changes direction, it is always your foundation that moves first to support you
And much more…

A shaman is a practical mystic, bridging the heavens with earth…

By walking the shamanic path, you become someone who is committed to unifying humanity, healing ancient rifts and restoring wholeness within yourself, others, and the planet.

The Visionseeker journey offers you visionary explorations to enhance your spiritual practice, greatly expand your perception of who you are, and draw you into a closer connection with your helping spirits, Spirit Teachers, and the experience of authentic initiation.

This is when the miraculous happens… when you truly land in the authentic ground of your own being — the Visionseeker within you.

Your deepest connection to your intuition, inspiration, visions, and dreams emerges, and you walk the shamanic path with greater awe, integrity, and power to help heal yourself, others, and the world around you.
What You’ll Discover in These 12 Modules

In this 4-month transformational virtual training, Hank will guide you through the advanced shamanic practices you’ll need to successfully expand your perception of who you are, enrich your spiritual life, and align with your place in the Ancestral Grand Plan.

Each weekly teaching and training session will build harmoniously upon previous ones so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles to explore your birthrights and birth responsibilities by connecting more deeply with your Spirit Teachers to live the sacred and authentic life of a Visionseeker.
Module 1: Nature Mysticism
Connection With the Sacred Garden & Our Spirit Helpers

Becoming a Visionseeker calls for our reconnection with the foundation for mystical practice — nature. The life force resides in nature and holds the power for healing ourselves and others.

It’s the foundation we will continually return to as we live our life in service to others — for centeredness, groundedness, power, protection, and support.

In this module, you’ll explore:

The levels of the Spirit World
The Middle World of Dream and the afterlife state
The Helping Spirits perceived as power animals
How to allow for the power, protection, and support of your Helping Spirits
Journeywork to discover and reconnect with your personal place of power and healing in the Dreamtime and with your helping spirits

Module 2: Deity Mysticism
Connection With Your Spirit Teacher & Spirit Guide — The Master Teacher

The foundation of spiritual practice through Nature Mysticism brings you inevitably into relationship with your Spirit Teacher and your Spirit Guide — your experience of Deity Mysticism.

Although you may have connections with many spirits of ascended masters, your primary teacher is revealed to be your Higher Self or Spiritual Oversoul, who has sourced you into life after life — and your Spirit Guide is your teacher’s teacher, one of the higher organizing intelligences who serves as your Higher Self’s advisor and caretaker, assigned to you when you came into existence as a soul.

In this module, you’ll:

Experience a deeper connection with your Higher Self (or Oversoul) as the source of your intuition, inspiration, visions, and dreams
Explore your unique connection with your Spirit Guide — your master teacher and advisor
Experience a journey to the Sacred Garden to connect with your Spirit Teacher and Spirit Guide
Understand the messages these important guides have for you at this time in your life

Module 3: Your Three Souls
Bringing Your Distinct Soul Aspects Into Alignment

Many Indigenous cultures, including the Hawaiians, Inuits, Lakota, Cherokee, Nepalese, Voodoo peoples of Haiti, and Shuar of the Amazon, understand that we possess not one, but three distinct souls. We are each a complex of these three soul aspects, and when they are in harmony, our lives flow smoothly. When they are not, there are lessons to be learned.

In this session, you’ll be guided in reviewing the sources and functions of your three souls in creating the Self, and how you can bring them into right relationship. Understanding your three souls and how they function are the keys to understanding who you are AND is at the core of experiencing authentic initiation.

In this module, you’ll:

Discover your 3 souls — your Spirit Soul, Mental Soul, and Body Soul — and how they’re perceived by the Hawaiian gods
Explore your 3 souls’ sources: Your Spirit Soul sourced from your Higher Self (Aumakua ), your Body Soul (Ku ) from your mother and father, and your Mental Soul (Lono), which comes into existence through your experience of life
Discover how your 3 souls function to create the Self in each lifetime
Discover The Bowl of Light, and the Three Rules we must know as we pass through life on the path as spiritual warriors
Experience a journey to bring your 3 souls into right relationship

Module 4: Your Foundation
Exploration of Your Core & How It Helps You Function in the World

Your foundation supports the structure of your life and determines what is possible. Your connection with Nature, with your helping spirits, and with your Spirit Teachers are all a part of your foundation. What else is the nature of your foundation? This aspect of you cannot be underestimated as it is the bedrock of all aspects of our life.

In this module, you’ll:

Discover what your foundation is and what can make it vulnerable
Learn how your foundation is determining YOU, your relationships, and your work in the world
Explore how your foundation is responding to the life you’ve created, chosen, or settled for
Discover what foundational stones are, and experience a journey to see if you have them
Find out if you have foundational stones that are missing
Discover how when your life changes direction, it is always your foundation that moves first to support you

Module 5: Your 3 Boundaries
Connection With the Outer, Middle & Inner

All of us have had experience with “boundary busters” — yet perhaps you don’t realize in the moment how many “levels” of your boundaries are being busted. Many traditions reveal that we actually have three boundaries: the interface or place where we meet the other; the place where we admit others into our company; and the place where we step out into the world to be of service.

For practitioners, healers, and seekers on the path, the question is: How can I be of service to others, and myself, without violating their (or my) boundaries?

In this module, you’ll:

Journey to explore your Inner boundary, which delineates your Holy of Holies — that inner core within that is just for you
Journey to your Middle boundary, where you practice discernment and the dance of the heart. Who do you invite into this middle layer?
Journey to explore your Outer boundary, where you extend from to meet the world
Learn about the nature of your boundaries from shamanic teacher Jill Kuykendall
Journey to explore the spiritual nature of your boundaries

Module 6: Birthrights & Birth Responsibilities
An Exploration of How They Guide Your Life

In this important session, you’ll connect with your Spirit Teacher and Spirit Guide to gather knowledge about your birthrights. We all came into this world with birthrights as well as birth responsibilities, which we all share.

For example, we all have the birthright to love and be loved. Understanding what our birthrights are, as well as what our birth responsibilities are, gives us freedom to discard what we are not responsible for — and draws us into connection with those we have chosen.

In this module, you’ll:

Discover the the birthrights that we all share
Learn how to do a birthright healing
Journey to your Spirit Teacher to learn about your birthrights, and about birthright healings
Explore your birth responsibilities, including conscience, humility, reverence, and discipline, and their part in your creation of ethical behavior

Module 7: The Ancestral Grand Plan
Exploration of Your Part in the Unfolding of Divine Purpose

The Ancestral Grand Plan is as much of the Divine Purpose that can be brought into expression upon this planet at any one time. This plan was set in motion by the ancestors millennia ago, and the one thing that humanity needs today is the realization that there IS an Ancestral Grand Plan that is definitely working itself out through all the world’s happenings. It is also working itself out through all that has happened in humanity’s past. We’ll explore the plan and what your part in it might be.

In this module, you’ll:

Learn about the Ancestral Grand Plan from Hawaiian Kahuna Elder Hale Makua
Discover the two initial goals of the plan
Learn the three levels of the plan that were set in motion by the ancestors long ago
Discover your place in the plan
Journey to a place of recognition to clarify and refine your place in the plan

Module 8: Shamanic Practice
Shapeshifting and Merging For Guidance & Support

The shaman is a master of escaping the mind-body matrix that characterizes ordinary consciousness, and entering the shamanic state of non-ordinary consciousness.

Many of us on the mystic path experience merging with spirits and/or shapeshifting into something else to achieve beneficial outcomes for ourselves and for our clients. In this session, you’ll experience merging and connecting with a master shapeshifter for guidance and support in shamanic practice.

In this module, you’ll:

Explore what shapeshifting is
Discover the difference between shapeshifting and merging
Discover what journeywork and shapeshifting have in common, as well as how they’re different
Journey to a master shapeshifter for guidance
Discover who the shapeshifter is and what this discovery holds for you

An Offering to Our Ancestors

Experience an imaginal canoe journey with your fellow course participants, with an altar at the center and a navigator at the helm as you time travel to meet our Star Ancestors to make a special offering to those who brought us here to this beautiful world.

In this module, you’ll:

Discover Makua’s story of how we came here as souls from the stars, accompanied by high guardians
Experience a journey to create a gift for the Star Beings in our garden
Experience the Spirit Canoe Journey to meet our Star Ancestors, traveling through the river of stars to offer a gift
Receive a gift in return from the Star Ancestors

Module 10: Spirit Canoe Journey #2
Make an Offering to Be of Service to a Descendant

Once again, you’ll board the imaginal Spirit Canoe to journey with your fellow course participants. This time, you’ll travel to the future to experience yourself as an ancestor in service to the seventh generation.

In this module, you’ll:

Help set intentions for the Spirit Canoe Journey and embark on an imaginal voyage to travel 200 years into the future
Experience this time-traveling journey alone and as a group
Have the opportunity to spot a descendant self during the Spirit Canoe Journey
Experience yourself as an ancestor
Discover how you can be of service to a descendant

Module 11: Discovering Your Inner Chief & Your 7 Major Life Roles

The Kahuna Makua was fond of observing that there are seven major roles through which we can experience life: the servant, artist, warrior, scholar, sage, priest/priestess/healer, and chief.

Each has a positive and a negative expression, all of which provide value in unearthing the ancient wisdom of the Kahuna mystics — and all of which are useful in our exploration of the Self.

In this module, you’ll:

Journey to discover your primary and secondary life roles
Discover the positive and negative polarities of each role
Journey to your Inner Chief to discover who he/she is and his/her function in your life
Discover a symbol for your Inner Chief
Find out how “your garden” — your perceptions and experience here on earth — respond when you place the symbol within it

Module 12: A Personal Healing Journey

The Polynesians know that your teacher, Aumakua or oversoul, can be the source of all the healing energy you might need in each lifetime. All of us have issues — physical, emotional, or spiritual challenges — that distort our character.

This session, you’ll turn your attention to your issues or distortions in need of healing and ask your Higher Self to be of service.

In this module, you’ll:

Experience a personal healing journey in your sacred garden provided by your Oversoul
Learn how to make this journey for your personal healing at anytime or in any place
Invite your Higher Self to hover above in your sacred garden and extract an issue or distortion you no longer wish to carry
Learn to receive the healing breath of power from your Oversoul, perceived as a blue light and followed by the green light of physical restoration
Experience the unconditional love inherent in the “breath of power”
