Becoming FSS Asia Teaching Faculty

成為亞洲區薩滿研究基金會教師成員

Three-Year Programme graduates resident in Asia/Oceania may apply to FSS Asia Teacher Training. As the Director for Asia is already teaching regularly in Bali and Thailand, we have openings for guest faculty for elsewhere in Asia/Oceania.

Prerequisites: Completion of the 3-Year Program is a prerequisite to APPLY to FSS Asia Teacher Training, but this alone is not a guarantee of acceptance. Acceptance depends on a number of factors, including the need in your area of residence in Asia/Oceania. Generally, guest faculty live and teach in their territory of residence. Only a few FSS Asia 3-Year graduates will be accepted to Teacher Training; ability to teach in the Asian language of your territory would be a definite advantage, but is not an absolute requirement. Generally, there is only one FSS Asia faculty member in each area, though large population centers might have space for more. If you move to a new area or country of residence after starting teacher training, you must re-apply and acceptance is again not guaranteed. A regular shamanic healing practice is expected, as well as regular attendance at Journey Circles in your area or online. Acceptance to Teacher Training also does not guarantee that you will pass the training. If accepted to Teacher Training by the Reviw Committee, one must twice observe the director (at least once) or other senior faculty teaching the Basic Way of the Shaman, and write up a course outline and notes. If this passes muster, guest faculty are territorialized; a candidate teaches the basic Way of the Shaman in their area of residence as guest faculty for usually one year. If this goes well over the first year, one can then apply to train to teach Advanced 2-day courses; this entails observing the Director for Asia teach those advanced workshops at least once (not including the first as a participant), as well as another FSS faculty once. Becoming full official faculty is a slow process, and although most accepted applicants to training pass, there are no guarantees at any step of the process. Also, FSS requires all faculty to be teaching only Core Shamanism, not directly competing forms of shamanism. Additionally, guest faculty are expected to teach at least two basic Way of the Shaman 2-day courses in their territory each year in order to maintain their qualification. Teaching for FSS is also not intended to advertise your other workshops or other events. Applications can be made at any time. In the meantime, please don't quit your day jobs! Shamanism is nearly always a part-time profession. Within indigenous cultures, even the best of the shamans usually have ordinary reality (OR) day jobs too! Request an application

成為亞洲區薩滿研究基金會教師成員

凡居住於亞洲及大洋洲的三年制進階啟蒙課程的畢業生，皆可申請亞洲區薩滿研究基金會的教師培訓。由於目前亞洲區執行長已於峇里島和泰國定期授課，我們現正招募在亞洲及大洋洲其他地區的客座講師。

先決條件: 三年制課程結業是申請亞洲區薩滿研究基金會教師培訓的前提條件，但僅完成該課程並不能保證獲取培訓資格，錄取與否取決於多項因素，包括您所在的亞洲或大洋洲的地區需求。一般而言，客座講師會在其居住區域內生活並任教。亞洲區薩滿研究基金會僅接受少數的三年制課程畢業生，錄取進入教師培訓計畫，若您能以所屬地區的亞洲語言授課，將會是顯著的優勢，不過並非絕對要求。通常每個區域只會有一名亞洲區薩滿研究基金會的講師，不過人口密集的地區可能會有更多名額。若您在教師培訓開始後遷居至新地區或國家，就必須重新提交申請，錄取亦無法保證。培訓教師須經常進行薩滿療癒實務，並定期參加所在區域或線上的「薩滿圈」活動。獲准加入教師培訓亦不保證能通過培訓。若經審查委員會錄取參加教師培訓計畫，您必須旁聽，由執行長(至少一次)或其他資深講師教授的《薩滿之道: 薩滿旅程, 力量及療癒》的課程，共兩次，並撰寫課程大綱與筆記。當此項審查通過，您將以客座講師身分，授權於所在居住區域內進行《薩滿之道》課程的教學，通常為期一年。若首年表現良好，即可申請培訓教授為期兩天的高階課程，旁聽兩次，觀摩由亞洲區執行長(不包含首次以學員身分參與課程的那次)的課程一次，或另一位薩滿基金會資深講師的課程一次。成為正式的全職講師是一個緩慢的過程，雖然大多數通過甄選的申請者最終都能通過考核，但在此過程的任何階段中都無法保證結果。此外，薩滿研究基金會要求所有講師只教授「核心薩滿」，不得教導與之直接相抗，其他形式的薩滿系統。再者，客座講師每年須在其授權區域內授課至少兩次，教授為期兩天的《薩滿之道》基礎課程，以維持其資格。教授薩滿研究基金會的課程亦非藉以宣傳您的其他工作坊或活動為目的。教師培訓的申請可隨時提交。在此期間，請勿辭去您的正職工作! 薩滿工作幾乎總是偏向於兼職性質，在原住民文化中，即便是最傑出的薩滿，通常也都有「尋常實相」（OR）的正職工作! 索取申請表，請按此：Contact
