Hank Wesselman, PhD
Tuesday, December 11, 2018
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 4-month 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
- Exploring your place in the Ancestral Grand Plan from the perspective of a Hawaiian Kahuna elder
- “Merging” and shapeshifting from the shamanic perspective
- A journey to a master shapeshifter for guidance
- The discovery of your primary life role(s) and the emergence of your Inner Chief
- A healing ceremony experienced in connection with your Higher Self
- The discovery of foundational stones, and experience a journey to see if you have them
- The Bowl of Light, and learn the Three Rules we must know as we pass through life on the path as spiritual warriors
- A journey to your Inner Chief to discover who he/she is and his/her function in your life
- 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 4 Months
Course sessions are on Tuesdays at 5:00pm Pacific.
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 (December 11)
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 (December 18)
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 (January 8)
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 (January 15)
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 (January 22)
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 (February 5)
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 (February 12)
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. This week, 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 (February 19)
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
Module 9: Spirit Canoe Journey #1
An Offering to Our Ancestors (February 26)
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
- Observe how the gift of the Star Ancestors responds when brought here to “our garden” on earth
Module 10: Spirit Canoe Journey #2
Make an Offering to Be of Service to a Descendant (March 12)
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 (March 19)
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 (March 26)
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”
Module 13: 90-minute Live Q&A With Hank (April 2)
At the culmination of this training, you’ll be aware of the shifts you've made within your being and in the world around you. During this last session, you’ll be invited to look back at how your journey began, as well as how you’ve evolved, and to share your experiences and ask questions that can help you step back out into your life with new eyes — and a larger, more compassionate heart — as a Visionseeker.

Having studied shamanism for the past 10 years — both research on my own and structured classes under the guidance of long-practicing shamanic teachers — I must say Hank took this to a level of immersion so tenderly powerful there were times I wept, [and when recognizing] a truth I would humbly smile. I have utter admiration and respect for Hank’s vast knowledge and a lifetime of digging deep. This course confirmed what always felt right to me: taking my soul spirit on a blessed journey of discovery. A deep bow of gratitude to you, dear teacher.
