What Will You Learn?

The Spirit Animals and Totems Diploma Course opens with a brief overview of the ancient history of spirit animals and totems. We’ll look at what a spirit animal is and what it symbolises, before deep-diving into understanding totems. You’ll discover the fascinating history of familiar spirits, and how this links back to spirit animals and how we perceive them today.

You’ll learn how to discover and connect with your spirit animal through meditation, dreams, altered states of consciousness, observing physical signs, interacting with objects and art, and engaging in physical contact with your spirit animal (where possible). From bats to zebras, the course provides comprehensive guidance on individual spirit animal meanings. You’ll also learn how you can work with your spirit animal for personal growth - understanding how your connection with them can help you in the long-term.

The Spirit Animals and Totems Diploma Course concludes by sharing spirit animal stories, both ancient and modern.

The Spirit Animals and Totems Diploma Course will be beneficial to anyone following a spiritual path, particularly if you are interested in Shamanism and Native American culture. However, it is just as relevant to you if you wish to better understand yourself and are undertaking personal development.
