Events

When we come together.

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 hero
The encounter · events

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.

Frequently asked

FAQ

How do I book an event?
Single events are booked directly through Elopage. The Elopage link appears with each date once registration opens. For larger initiation cycles and the Wolf Shaman Master Path there is a separate registration process — dates are announced first on the mailing list.
Are events held in person or online?
Both. Initiations, rituals and retreats are usually in person. Mini-courses and selected deepenings are offered online as well. The format is noted on each date.
What if I have to cancel?
The exact cancellation terms are in the Terms and with each booking. In general: early cancellation allows a switch to another date or a partial refund. Please check the Terms for details.
What is a mini-course?
A mini-course is a compact online format in two to four sessions. Tightly focused, practice-oriented, with room for questions and individual guidance. Ideal for guests who want a taste of a topic before entering a larger cycle.
