Wolf Shaman Initiation · Level I
The first step on the Master Path. Initiation into the Great Wolf, trance journeys, work with shamanic artefacts. A weekend in a retreat house in the Taunus mountains. Live event with simultaneous DE/EN translation.
Single events are bookable directly through Elopage. Dates for the Wolf Shaman Master Path and larger initiation cycles are announced first on the mailing list. In person, online, sometimes both. All live events run bilingually in German and English — with live simultaneous translation via Google Meet. Online courses and recordings remain in their original language (currently German).

Events are where the practice becomes concrete. Shamanic live events, initiations, retreats, ritual days, mini-courses, intensive weekends and ceremonies. Each format carries its own form. What they share: they are not theory — they are experience that arrives in the body. Dr. Mark Hosak and Eileen Wiesmann lead you into the practice. Guests carry what they have lived into their daily life.
