Awareness Training
How to develop awareness and attention on a shamanic and spiritual level
With Chris Lüttichau
Awareness is, simply put, the ability to know and understand life. Awareness includes everything we experience and pay attention to, and for shamans, also the invisible and spiritual realms.
From a shamanic perspective everything in life has awareness; but the awareness of a mountain is different from that of a human being.
For a human being, there are many different levels of awareness, from sleepwalking through life, to being fully present and awake. When you train to raise your awareness, your experience of reality changes and deepens.
By learning how to raise your awareness, expand and focus your attention, you can learn to free yourself from the old programming that limit you and hold you back.
Awareness training can lead to the raising of consciousness and take you to the ultimate freedom, where you set your spirit free.
Awareness is a gateway into the sacred now. The shamanic cultures of old knew how to step through the gateway. This training is embarking on that journey, in the footsteps of the ancient ones, the ones who knew.
This training offers traditional shamanic tools and methods for raising consciousness, reaching heightened states of awareness, and deepening of the ability to pay attention to yourself, others, and the surroundings, including the unseen.
The course consists of four separate modules of 1 day each over 2 months. Each module will give you techniques and exercises that you can practise between the sessions so that there will be plenty of time for integration.
Each of the 4 days is a 7 hours workshop that starts at 2 PM UK time, 9 AM US Eastern time, in order for people to participate internationally

Feedback from participants
“I’ve just completed the two month Awareness Training with Chris, and I have loved every minute of the journey. The pace was perfect, with a thoughtful balance of practical experience and theory. Chris’ authenticity, wisdom, and grace created such a grounded and inspiring space for learning.
The group became a true hub of warmth and welcome, and I’m so grateful for the connections we shared. I will genuinely miss our time together, yet I feel excited to begin embedding these teachings into my daily life, and to reflect on my next steps along the Shaman’s path.
Thank you to the whole team at Northern Drum for such a transformative experience.”

“Chris Lüttichau delivered a structured but wonderfully flowing four sessions on Awareness Training, explaining the fundamentals of a vital part of shamanism clearly. Aways following each section with a practical element was a great way to embed the teaching. Never tired of questions, Chris’s answers often further illuminated and deepened my understanding of the practice being discussed. This course worked well online, and a mixture of full sessions and smaller breakout rooms where groups of three or four participants could work together kept the energy of the group fresh.
Overall this was a wonderfully positive and enlightening course.
Oh, and I almost forgot, the wonderful bedtime stories that I wouldn’t have missed for anything in the world!”

“I found the awareness training and the shamanic wisdom very valuable. Chris has a very pleasant way of sharing this knowledge, using examples and practical exercises.
This course was especially valuable to me because I wanted to explore whether I could invite more contact with spirit. Something my thinking brain/ego has quite a lot to say about.
In my daily life, I consciously facilitate connected breathing sessions and the presence process is an integral part of my life. Yet the shamanic lessons have given me extra depth, exactly what I was looking for, with more connection to nature, wisdom from our ancestors, connection to more than we can comprehend with our minds.
I have immersed myself completely in the exercises, which help me on a daily basis to stay even more at home, to experience the world in touch with my heart.
Thank you Chris for the inspiration! I hope to be able to learn and practice more.”
