WONDERING IF THIS IS FOR YOU?

MEET THE FOUNDER OF THE FOUR WINDS:

Dr. Alberto Villoldo

Before traveling to the Amazon to learn directly from shamans, Dr. Alberto Villoldo studied the human brain at the University of San Francisco. He conducted research on the root cause of disease, and how we could create lasting health within the mind and body. It was clear how psychosomatic illnesses can be caused, but the puzzle remained—how can body, mind, and soul be healed?

These questions led him to search for alternatie answers—views of space and time that differed from our Western ones.He packed his bags and left the laboratory for the Amazon jungle. During his travels, he met many shamans in the Amazon and the Andes, Africa, Indonesia, and Brazil who could heal the body and maintain health with only the power of their spirit and herbal remedies.

Alberto learned a lot from them, first as a medical anthropologist, and later as a direct student of the shamans. Ever since, it’s been his life’s work to bring these incredible healing techniques to the West, so that all people can benefit from lifelong health and wellbeing.

NOTES FROM GRADUATES

“Embarking on the Energy Medicine study at FourWinds was the best decision of my life, bringing about a transformation I could never have imagined. Discovering my ability to heal, assisting people from all walks of life, including those with depression and even helping children and babies, has opened a new world of possibilities for me.


The depth of knowledge and the community I’ve found here, along with the incredible support from teachers, have made this journey not just educational but truly life-enriching. I’m now pursuing the two-year Master’s program, a testament to the profound impact this training has had on my life.”

Claudia Kamrat, Germany

“Participating in Alberto Villoldo’s Energy Medicine and Health Coach program felt like coming home to me, rediscovering deep wisdom that now enriches my practice as a physiotherapist daily. Integrating conventional medicine with energy healing has shown me the sustainable power of holistic healing.

This journey allowed me to explore my inner self, recognize my potential, and bring my light to the world, a truly invaluable gift from my training.”

Michaela Winkelbauer, Germany

“This program was the perfect complement to my profession as a somatic arts psychotherapist. It blends embodiment and therapeutic practices with the element of the communion with spirit and pacha mama. It feels like the whole package. If you’re ready to shift something or step into something, this training pushes you to overcome that in a beautiful and transformative way.”

Maria, Brooklyn

“Stumbling upon Alberto’s ‘Healing the Dark Side’ course opened a new path for me, leading to my enrollment in the Energy Medicine and Health Coach program in 2020. Selling my motorcycle to fund this journey, I embarked on a transformative six-month online training that not only advanced me personally and psychologically but also revolutionized my physical health through the detox program, altering my dietary habits.

My advice: if you feel the call, embrace this course. It’s an incredible enrichment for yourself and those around you. Truly life-changing.”

Karl Heinz, Germany

I was initially inspired by hearing Alberto tell a story of having an experience that made him view the world differently. As a scientist I love the fact that Alberto is extremely knowledgeable in the Shamanic arts, but he’s also very knowledgeable in neuroscience and biology and he integrates the sciences very well. What’s incredible about this approach to the human experience is that it fosters health and healing rather than focusing on diagnoses. It brings all the levels together, including spiritual, energetic, and psychological. The training was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. It goes deep into the essence of who you are.”

Andrea, Colombia

This training is a life-changer. You get to learn a lot about Energy Medicine and the depth of wisdom on the course as well as the amount of content and videos is quite remarkable. You get to speak to Alberto Villoldo, who is a life-changer as well. His books speak to my heart and impacted my spiritual journey so powerfully. Alberto is part of the course as well as the Four Winds teachers, who take you through every step.

I’ve grown as a soul and as a person. I’ve understood myself better and become a more intuitive healer. If you have a calling to do this course, then do it. It’s the best investment I’ve ever made in my life.”

Peter, England

Frequently asked questions

We’ve gathered answers to the questions we hear most often. If you have something specific in mind that isn’t covered below, you can schedule a conversation with one of our advisors for personalized support and clear next steps.

DO I NEED PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE OR TRAINING TO ATTEND THIS PROGRAM?

No prior experience is required. This training is thoughtfully designed to welcome participants at many different levels—whether you’re brand new to shamanic energy medicine, or you’re already working in a medical, psychological, health, or wellness field and would like to integrate these techniques into your current practice.

HOW DOES THE SCHEDULE LOOK LIKE DURING THE TRAINING?

The Residential Training is a deeply immersive experience. Our days include classes and practices from morning through evening, with breaks for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Please plan to be fully present for the full 28 days to receive the greatest benefit from the program.

DO I NEED TO PREPARE IN ANY WAY BEFORE THE TRAINING?

A little preparation can help you feel even more supported as you arrive. Here are two simple ways to get ready:

1. Complete the recommended reading (after you apply).
Once you apply, you’ll receive a list of required reading to do before the program begins, including:

  • Grow a New Body and Shaman, Healer, Sage — Alberto Villoldo
  • The Sacred Andean Codes — Marcela Lobos
  • He: Understanding Masculine Psychology and She: Understanding Feminine Psychology — Robert A. Johnson

These titles are available in print, e-book, and audio formats, and they provide a helpful foundation for the teachings we’ll explore during the training.

2. Create space for preparation and integration.
The training is deeply experiential, so it can be helpful to arrive with a bit of spaciousness—and to allow time afterward for integration. If possible, we recommend keeping at least three days after the program before returning fully to your usual rhythm.

WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS FOR ACCOMMODATION?

After you register for the Residential Training, you’ll receive an up-to-date list of the room options currently available.

You’ll be staying in a historic castle in a peaceful village, surrounded by forest. The castle has been thoughtfully restored into a beautiful 4-star boutique hotel, with charming rooms and a relaxing spa area you’re welcome to enjoy throughout your stay.

Accommodation options include Single, Double, and Triple rooms, with categories ranging from Standard to Comfort, as well as one Luxury Suite with a Jacuzzi.

ARE MEALS INCLUDED?

Yes—meals are included with your accommodation. Throughout the program, you’ll receive breakfast, lunch, and dinner, all prepared with great care using local, organic ingredients.
Meals are primarily vegetarian and vegan, with the option to include meat once a week, and they follow the Grow A New Body program. After registration, we’ll ask about any dietary restrictions or allergies so we can support your needs. A fresh fruit basket will also be available daily.

ARE THERE OPPORTUNITIES FOR FURTHER EDUCATION?

Yes. After completing this training, you’ll have the option to continue your path through a range of advanced programs. These offerings provide deeper study and, for those who feel called, the opportunity to work toward advanced master-level certifications.

I want more information about the training. When does the training start? How much does it cost?

The residential Training in Croatia starts August 15th – September 11th. We’d be happy to share the current tuition options as pricing can vary depending on your room selection and availability – the best next step is to book a free call with one of our academic advisors, who can answer your questions and walk you through the details that fit your situation.
