This two-day experiential course in Nepali Jhankri-Shamanic healing provides an authentic introduction to the living tradition of the Dhami-Jhankri, Nepal's shamanic practitioners. Drawing on centuries-old Nepal-Himalayan wisdom, the program explores the relationship between humans and the Pancha Mahabhutas—the five great elements: Earth (Prithvi), Water (Jal), Fire (Agni), Air (Vayu), and Ether (Akash/Space). Participants learn about the Jhankri’s worldview, where elemental spirits are respected as conscious forces that guide healing, balance, and spiritual growth. Using hand gestures (mudras) and sacred instruments, shamans invoke, harmonise, and communicate with these elemental energies, supporting holistic well-being and spiritual resilience.

Day 1 introduces the mythic and historical origins of the Dhami-Jhankri lineage, tracing the transmission of shamanic knowledge through oral tradition, apprenticeship, and direct spiritual experience. The program emphasises the relationship with the Pancha Mahabhutas, each regarded as a living presence in the universe and the body. Through guided practice, participants learn to recognise each element's qualities and connect with them using breath, focus, visualisation, and traditional objects such as the Dhyangro (frame drum), Ghanti (bell), and other ritual objects. The day focuses on elemental invocation: calling upon Earth-Prithvi for grounding, Jal for emotional flow, Agni for transformation, Vayu for clarity, and Akash for spiritual expansion, while fostering respectful relationships with the spirits of these elements.
