What is Your Elemental Nature?
Hank Wesselman, PhD
Read below to find out about Navigators of Light with Hank Wesselman.
Discover ancient and traditional shamanic practices to journey to subtle dimensions of light, energy, spirit, and creative power.
Access information about your elemental clan, life design, and soul contracts — and gain deep insight on how to navigate the path of your current life with greater wisdom and joy.
Have you marveled at the stories of medicine men and women who walk “between the worlds” and access information for healing, guidance, and wisdom?
Well, it’s time to take these remarkable beings off the pedestal and recognize that their seemingly magical qualities are also within YOU. We all have these abilities... they just need to be developed.
Yes, you have extraordinary capacities for adventures of consciousness that can reveal far more about yourself and the world. As you develop these abilities, you can open to seeing and exploring the world through shamanic eyes.
That doesn’t mean being naive or blind to hardship and suffering. In fact, you’ll likely view life’s challenges with deeper compassion, and even see THROUGH them to the higher truth that this world is infused with sacredness. Everywhere. Even in the darkest of moments that challenge us.
In fact, some of the worst things that happen in life can actually be part of a higher design — a soul intention to clear residue from other lifetimes, a plan to resolve a particularly challenged relationship, or a hardship to birth an important gift.
With shamanic eyes and access to some of this higher wisdom, you can shift from feeling victimized by life to becoming a creator of your life — consciously owning your participation in each event.
By seeing the larger forces at work — including those from your own soul design, other lifetimes, or contracts with your “soul pod” — you can relax into clear alignment with what wants to happen next.
You can also get clearer about who your real allies are, and what you have chosen to create together.
Wisdom for the Road Ahead
In the times ahead, tapping into shamanic wisdom will be essential for us all — it roots us in the earth, in nature, and in the higher dimensions of our consciousness, giving us a calm center and the capacity for clear, steady action in times of crisis. It also gives us specific skills and tools to foster individual and collective healing.
More than anything, it can provide a daily source of sustenance, guidance, and wisdom for how to navigate everyday life and be of service in healing our planet.
A shaman is a practical mystic, bridging the heavens and earth — and this ancient path of mysticism is profoundly relevant for the 21st century.
By walking the shamanic path, you become someone who is committed to unifying humanity, healing ancient rifts, and restoring wholeness within yourself, in others, and with the planet.
The challenge is that shamanism has often become distorted by people who want to use these sacred lineages for selfish purposes.
And that’s why it’s best to study shamanism in-depth with a teacher who can be trusted, one who has spent decades being mentored by master guides.
Hank Wesselman is a beloved anthropologist who can be that trusted guide for you — a practitioner who is steeped in the heights and depths of the field, drawing upon lineages from around the world while also exploring the most advanced areas of what he calls “becoming a navigator of light.”
Shamanic Wisdom Is Part of Today’s Spiritual Awakening
Hank has been influential in the rediscovery of shamanism as a major facet of the spiritual awakening that is taking place today in the Western world.
While modern spiritual traditions each have their own wisdom and beauty, ancient shamanic traditions have withstood the tests of millennia.
These shamanic lineages carry essential medicine for the 21st century, a time in which we are now called to form a global community of peace, harmony, and shared understanding.
The traditional peoples know that the world presents itself to us in two halves — a world of the seen and a world of the unseen.
The techniques that traditional shamans use for expanding our awareness provide inner explorers with an easily learned method for accessing the hidden dimensions of reality behind the world at large — and connecting with sources of wisdom and power for healing and problem solving.
In the Navigators of Light 25-part virtual training, you have the opportunity to journey in-depth into shamanism with Hank and a committed global community of spiritual explorers.
The Importance of a Skilled Guide
When you join this groundbreaking virtual program, you’ll be under the safe tutelage of a professional anthropologist.
Hank Wesselman has worked for more than 45 years alongside 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 peoples and learning their cultures, 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 the further reaches of human potential.
In the early 1970s, on safari in the eroded surreal fossil beds of southwestern Ethiopia, he began to experience spontaneous visions that were strikingly like those of traditional shamans. He recorded them in his book, The Re-Enchantment: A Shamanic Path to a Life of Wonder. He has been an apprentice and teacher of shamanism ever since.
As a result of this deep study, Hank has authored nine books on shamanism, anthropology, and personal transformation, including the critically-acclaimed Spiritwalker trilogy, The Bowl of Light and Awakening to the Spirit World with Sandra Ingerman.
Hank will guide you in voyages of consciousness that can result in deep healing of unresolved emotions — and in profound openings to a more expanded understanding of reality.
These shamanic journeys can connect you with your Oversoul (and the many lifetimes of knowledge that reside there) as well as open you to greater transformation, healing, and guidance.
You’ll explore other lifetimes, soul contracts, and realms of light that you traversed before incarnating.
Hank will draw from many Indigenous lineages and traditions, particularly from Hawaiian and Polynesian teachings that he’s been entrusted with.
And he’ll show you how to put these empowering teachings into practice — expanding your capacity to seek and receive guidance from these higher realms for healing and transformation.
You’ll emerge more joyful, grounded, and connected to your Higher Self, with a deeper understanding of how to walk as a bridge between worlds.
During this powerful 25-part virtual program, you’ll:
Receive an overview of the hidden worlds of spirit and the shaman as mediator between the worlds Develop your skill in navigating the 3 levels of the dream world: the Lower World, the dreaming of nature; the Middle World, the dreaming of humans, our everyday world, and the bardos of the afterlife; and the Upper World, the dreaming of the gods Explore traditional shamanic ways of connecting with power Develop greater mastery of the distinct functions of your 3 souls: the Spiritual Oversoul, the Physical Body Soul, and the Mental Conscious Soul Reconnect with your Spirit Helper — a nature spirit that provides you with power, protection, and support Explore the issue of created thoughtforms (egregores) as gods Work with earthbound spirits in the Lower Worlds — the dreaming of nature Develop greater skill in shamanic journeying to meet your Oversoul — and travel with your Spirit Guide, your Oversoul’s teacher and caretaker Explore how to connect with one or more healing spirits in your place of power to seek guidance and healing Understand what it means to be a gatekeeper Discover how to open to direct experiential insights about your soul’s experience over multiple lifetimes Receive teachings on how to provide an invitation to the healing spirits that are in relationship with you to heal an ancestor Explore the higher organizing intelligences Forge a co-creative relationship between the immortal soul and the mortal soul Understand the appearance of your soul pod and what its function is Understand the function of the council of wise elders — the ones who debrief us when we return from a life just livedWhat You’ll Discover in These 25 Modules
In this transformational virtual workshop, Hank will guide you through advanced shamanic practices you’ll need to successfully connect with higher realms, including explorations of elemental clans, bardos, and spiritual domains.
Each 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 deepen your connection with your shamanic practice — a practice through which your life can become an incredibly advanced adventure.
Module 1: The Modern Shaman The Re-emergence of an Ancestral Archetype (3 Sessions)
Session 1: Nature Mysticism & Deity Mysticism
It’s always been understood among traditional tribal people that each new generation had the responsibility to perpetuate and refresh a continually recreated tradition, adding to and enhancing the accumulating horde of wisdom and techniques, and changing it to align with present needs.
It was in this way that this ancient spiritual path remained vital and meaningful to those who walked it. The modern shaman is the adventurer and investigator of the non-ordinary hidden worlds. This exploration includes the dreaming of nature and the archetypal mind on the planet at the beginning; the Lower Worlds of the dreaming of nature and the realms of light; and the Upper Worlds of Spirit, from which we came into physical life as embodied souls and to which we return at the end of this life.
In this session, you’ll:

In traditional societies, it was always the function of the shaman to investigate the realms of experience in which we travel after the death of the physical body.

What Graduates of Navigators of Light Are Saying...
Being guided by Hank’s wealth of personal lived experiences, academic cross-references, wisdom and personal shamanic lineages enabled trust, groundedness and careful guidance for my own personal experiences, growth, and dissemination to evolve into a profound life-changing experience. Period.
— Debbie, Australia
All I have to say is wow! I will never be the same. This class was life-changing for me. I learned so much and have so many tools for my journey. Thank you for offering this class I could not be more grateful for this experience.
— Sandra Hyde, Indian Trail, North Carolina
I am living with PTSD and the meditations and journeys have been very helpful in remembering everything has ALREADY happened. Now I know I DID send myself “back to the future” this course validated a lifelong feeling.
— Anonymous
Taking the time at least once a week to do shamanic journey work is a transformative discipline, and Hank is a great guide for doing it. He is such a master at suggesting meaningful and developmental journey topics — it made me expand my capacity for innovative work in the spirit world.
— Bebe Jo, Galveston, Texas
I really enjoyed I felt a lot more relaxed to learn and share. I realized my journeys may not be as flowery as everyone else’s but they are what works for me and Hank helped me to stop comparing myself to others. I may not use my new tools to make a living; however, I feel I can help others and myself with the knowledge, and the connection to Mother Earth, and understanding the seasonal changes that affect our lives which sometimes slide past us. I liked being around like-minded people that have the same ideals as me. The training is fantastic.
— Gitta, Sydney, Australia
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 along with (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. Speaking truth to power is not an easy thing. Hank Wesselman stands tall.

Navigators of Light with Hank Wesselman provided me with the experiential pathways of practice to integrate this new knowledge into my everyday life, and provided me with a greater sense of what is available for all people should they choose to practice these ancient yet modern ways of perceiving.

It was a top course on shamanism, everything important was included. And it can be done on internet.
— Dirk, Netherlands
I so enjoyed all of Dr. Wesselman’s knowledge experience and wisdom, with his sharing of his practice and study in this area. Hank’s very real, kind, honest, down-to-earth, approachable way of presenting was a delight to receive every week. I feel this is very specialized material, which can support and help transform our very individual and collective meaning, of our existence here, on this planet at this time.
— Lorea Chilton, British Columbia, Canada
Hank Wesselman is a great teacher, and storyteller. I love learning history from different cultures, and how perceptions and certain spiritual practices have evolved. The information he provides is rich, and accessible. His own experience truly human. I hope he teaches more courses at The Shift Network. Sincerely,
— Carol Gannon, Iowa
