The Soul did not come here to be comfortable,
It came to evolve.
Shamanic Training
The path of the shaman is one of continuous change and transformation. We are always renewing ourselves by letting go of the old and birthing the new. Only through experiential practice do we become technicians of the art of dying in order to truly live.
This spiritual path is centred around a lifelong practice of purification, cleaning the dark energies or poisons within us so that Divinity can circulate. For example, if there is any anger in our system, we must take full responsibility for that and start the cleaning. Only until love is all that is left do we arrive at our goal.
We cannot control what comes into us, but we can control what comes out of us, what we give back to the world. For this reason, we train each day to become clear, emotionally sober and mentally focused. We train the heart to be our power source, so that each day becomes an opportunity to protect and serve the light of the world.
Serving the Collective
True shamanism is about taking the focus off our personal journey and investing our efforts in caring for the harmony and well-being of everything around us (seen & unseen). The Shaman understands that all things are connected, interwoven by energetic threads. We are having a shared collective experience. The whole is only as healthy as every individual part.
Our training programs support people ready to move beyond their private healing journey into a bigger playing field. The healing journey transforms into becoming Fit for Service.
We are always in training so we can be the strongest, most vital, most powerful version of ourselves. That way, we can give. What comes out of us can be of the highest quality. We work to remove ALL negativity out of our system - physical, mental, emotional, until all that is left is love. The light of Divinity can then be truly felt and the guidance given clearly understood.
Who we are
Homegrown is a shamanic wisdom school established by Bastian McPhee in 2002 to provide training and support for people who are not only interested in transformational growth but also called to protect Mother Earth and serve Divinity. People who are willing to step forward as Warriors of Light.
We dedicate our efforts to Divinity and the blossoming of humanity’s highest potential. We take our service work seriously and ask our students to do the same.
We recognise a great need for humanity to realign with the power source of the heart/soul. To protect the mind by keeping it calm and clear, to invoke the spirit to guide and heal so that we can be trustworthy stewards of Mother Earth, living from our divinity instead of energetic sickness and constant disturbances.
True shamanism opens new pathways within reality and exposes us to spirits and unseen entities, as well as the darkness and poisons within ourselves and the collective. This is a path that requires proper training and dedication if you wish to stay healthy and thrive as you heal, transform and evolve.
The Shamanic Training offered by Homegrown does NOT rely on any psychoactive plant medicine to achieve altered states of consciousness or heal.
The drum and rattle are our main helpers to enter the spirit world. We also call upon dancing, chanting, and fasting.

Usui Shiki Ryoho, also known as the Usui Method of Natural Healing or Usui Reiki, is a traditional Japanese healing practice founded in the early 20th century. This practice recognises and honours the Spiritual Lineage of Mikao Usui, Chujiro Hayashi, Hawayo Takata, Phyllis Lei Furumoto and Johannes Reindl.
The Path of Reiki is about Satori, a Japanese word meaning enlightenment. This is usually a gradual movement towards more awareness, more balance, and more Spirit.
Living Reiki is about putting a focus on greater calm and happiness throughout the day.
It is learning to cultivate a more loving, compassionate and peaceful approach to ourselves, others, and life situations.
This practice is taught and passed on in the form of Oral Tradition: that is, the student and master are together in person for the class experience. There is a unique quality to this meeting that can only happen in person-to-person contact, where ritual or sacred space is created. Through the medium of story, demonstration, initiation, sharing, and responding to questions, the essence of the practice is communicated.
Students experience directly through practice the interconnectedness of being and awaken to the experience of a much greater reality beyond what is commonly known.
Each student has the right to his or her own personal practice and relationship to the energy of Reiki and the system of practice.
The First Degree Level focuses on:
The basis of the practice is self-treatment and treatment of others within the realm of family and friends.

Shamanic Rattles are essential helpers in disciplines such as ceremony, healing, clearing space, trance journeying, and communing/building relationships with spiritual allies.
During this workshop you will design, craft and decorate your own unique rattle
Learn to use it with intention and responsibility.
Receive a deeper understanding as to it’s spiritual medicine.
Practice several energetic techniques so you can experience the potency of this much-loved shamanic tool first hand.
The Power of Intention When Working with a Shamanic Rattle
When I pick up my shamanic rattle, the very first thing is to come into intention. In this work, intention is the bedrock of all practices—it’s the heartbeat of everything.
Every shake, every vibration, carries the energy I pour into it. If I’m calling in healing, I let that desire flow through my hands and into the sound.
When my mind and heart are aligned with what I’m asking for, the rattle becomes more than an instrument. It becomes a channel. The space around shifts, softens, and opens, making room for healing to take root.
Clearing Stagnant Energy
One of the things I love most about using a rattle is how quickly it clears stagnant energy. As it moves through the air, I can feel the sound breaking up heaviness.
During healing sessions, this clearing is essential. Emotional blockages can cling tightly, and the rattle helps loosen what’s ready to move. It creates space for breath, for release, for renewal.
Inviting Spirit Guides
I often use my rattle to call in my Ancestors & guides. There’s something ancient and familiar about the way the sound reaches into the unseen. When my intention is clear and my heart is open, I can feel the energy shift as the presence of my Helpers arrive.
The rattle becomes a bridge—one that connects me to the wisdom and support that isn’t visible but is always present. The insights that come through in these moments often illuminate exactly what needs attention.
Supporting Shamanic Journeying
During journeying, the rattle becomes my compass. Its rhythm helps me slip into altered states of consciousness and stay connected to the path I’m traveling. The steady beat keeps me grounded, like having a guide who walks beside me, keeping pace, helping me navigate the inner terrain.
Amplifying Intentions for Healing and Transformation
Whether I’m working with someone else or doing my own inner work, the rattle amplifies whatever intention is present. It strengthens the energy we’re calling in and helps anchor it into the space. It helps generate an energetic field of support that everyone can feel and lean into.
