“The Animal Spirit Medicine course that I completed has been a life transforming experience, which has profoundly changed me on a professional and personal level, and exceeded anything I could have imagined."

“If you are looking for a path and teachers that will support you and will assist you to grow and realise your full potential then this is it. Simon Buxton has integrity stamped all over him and is so visibly led by spirit is amazing to watch. I never felt rushed or unsafe when working with The Sacred Trust, even though spirit’s requests were tough and challenging sometimes. Naomi Lewis is a perfect complement and will gently and softly hold you and allow you to be vulnerable but safe. Together with other faculty members, they will weave their magic and transport you to the most amazing places and realities. I was able to throw myself into the work achieving the most amazing feats that a year ago I would have been adamant my physical self could not do. After many years of struggle with lower back pain I have a new and changing insight into this problem. I also look back on the work undertaken with awe and was recently heard to say I did not recognise the person I was a year ago. This is in all aspects of my life, physically, spiritually and emotionally I am changed and much much stronger. I truly believe I can do anything I put my heart into and have learnt to live for the moment as we don’t know what awaits us tomorrow or even later today. I have a new stronger connection to my spiritual allies and can call on them wherever they are needed. The tools I have learnt during the training will allow this relationship with spirit to deepen and grow with confidence. The beauty of working closely with a group of people who will become as family to you is truly incredible and at times breathtaking. I cannot recommend working with The Sacred Trust highly enough; you will not regret the experience; I certainly won’t and look forward to many more years of studying and working with them.  Thank-you.”

“I am an African and have been associated with African shamans for much of my life. I have witnessed their ceremonies and absorbed their culture.  Within moments of meeting Simon Buxton and Naomi Lewis on The Way of the Shaman weekend workshop, I was struck by their profound authenticity.  I had seen some absurd "shamans" in the UK, but here were two people I could trust to introduce me to the work and I signed up immediately for further training.  The experience has been utterly profound.  We have explored the core of global "stone age" shamanic traditions - and this was my quest.  My wife, Anne and I had contemplated engaging the western world with Africa's hunter-gatherers for decades, and now we could proceed.  Simon, Anne and I agreed to embark on this journey together, to the San peoples of the Kalahari, the Earth's oldest living culture.  We have just returned.  All those who joined us - all twenty-one Sacred Trust students - were astonished at the impeccability of the parallels between their ancient tradition and our work with The Sacred Trust.  It was immeasurably gratifying and empowering to have such authenticity, sincerity and integrity going into the experience. We were respected as authentic and potent healers by the oldest healing tradition on Earth. 
Thank you Simon and Naomi, you are blessed.”

“I came to the work offered by The Sacred Trust with some knowledge and experience of various spiritual traditions and healing practices, not all of which had been entirely positive. So it was with huge relief and much excitement that I  discovered that the work being offered by The Sacred Trust was authentic‚ and that Simon Buxton and other members of the faculty were true practitioners of these authentic techniques, and above all were honourable people and deeply passionate about what they were doing. Having initially attended The Way of the Shaman workshop, I knew I had found kindred spirits, and went on to undertake a life-changing year-long training. So, if you want to discover, reclaim, honour and embrace that which is truly sacred in your life then I wholeheartedly recommend you the The Sacred Trust.”

"As a graduate of The Sacred Trust Professional Practitioners Training I would like to offer a few words of endorsement regarding this work: In my quest for authentic learning I have been amazed and delighted with the quality, the depth of integrity and the admirable skills at facilitating shamanic learning that were made available and shared within the training. Simon Buxton and Naomi Lewis helped me to navigate my way into the parallel universe of the shaman, and in that, I consider them to be spiritual midwives par excellence, a much needed and vital role in today's fast-paced, money-based society, where the ancient traditions and ancient healing ways are needed more than ever. I look forward to undertaking further work with The Sacred Trust and unhesitatingly recommend their courses and trainings to all those with a serious interest in the shamanic arts. Having spent some time with South American Yachag healers in Ecuador I would say that my time spent with The Sacred Trust was - due to their cross-cultural approach - actually of greater value and relevance. The courses offered by the Sacred Trust help to nurture the soul, to truly heal, and to open doors that we thought only existed in our dreams"
