Jose Luis Stevens, PhD
Use the Medicine Wheel to better understand how you’ve created your reality and what you can do to transform or “re-dream” it to manifest the life you desire.
Experience how to work with the beneficial flow of cosmic energies around you to remove blocks and awaken through the discovery and transformation of your own many energetic layers.
What does it mean to be “shamanically awake”?
Perhaps you know, or think you know…
Or, you’re on a shamanic path and committed to practices and an approach to life that helps you cultivate this awakeness.
Shamanism is the oldest spiritual path. It’s self-empowering, opens the heart, keeps us in integrity, and intimately connects us with all living things and the energetic fields all around us.
It also helps us to better understand the energies we hold within ourselves, including what keeps us stuck or unable to thrive, as well as how to work with and transform these energies and, thus, our lives.
And it can help us discover and greatly expand our manifestation capabilities — our ability to “re-dream” our lives (shaman’s believe we are always dreaming, even while awake).
At its core, the shamanic path puts our responsibility for our life — and how we’re living it — in our own hands, as we discover the immense power of our will, our intentions, and our word.
There are many approaches to shamanism, and in Wisdom of the Medicine Wheel you’ll discover a practical approach that weaves Indigenous wisdom with psychological insights and scientific principles…
… to help you better understand how you’ve created the reality you’re in and what you can do to transform or “re-dream” it — to evolve and manifest the life you want to be living.
The Medicine Wheel, a cross-cultural map of consciousness, can help us with this. It shows us the flow of life and the different stages of our progress through our many life projects and initiations.
This “flow of life” comprises the energetic forces all around us — in each direction, North, South, East, and West, as well as Above (the Heavens) and Below (the Earth).
You’ll find yourself in different places in the Medicine Wheel depending on what you’re currently experiencing. For example, you may be in the West regarding your life purpose. West on the Medicine Wheel teaches us about intention and how releasing your attachments is necessary for the freedom to go for something new.
Each direction has its positive and negative pole, representing choices about how you can use the theme of that direction.
If you get stuck somewhere in your process or thrown off track, you can use the Medicine Wheel to diagnose your error and find your way. It’s a map that can show you the best path and where you went astray — without judgment.
It also maps the balance of the masculine and feminine polarities in life and shows you how one flows naturally into the other.
In this 7-module online training, internationally-renowned teachers and shamanic practitioners Jose and Lena Stevens will guide you on a life-transformative exploration of the shamanic perspective with the help of the Medicine Wheel and their decades of experience walking and teaching the shamanic path…
Jose is a psychologist, licensed clinical social worker, and author of more than 21 books on personal evolution and shamanism as well as co-founder of the Power Path School of Shamanism.
Lena is an author, co-founder of and coach with the Power Path School of Shamanism, and writes the popular, internationally-read Power Path Monthly Forecast.
They’ve both completed a 10-year apprenticeship in the Huichol tradition and spent many years studying with other Indigenous shamanic elders including the Shipibo in Peru and the Q’ero in the Andes.
With deep respect for Indigenous wisdom, they offer practical approaches to shamanism that can be used in the modern world to make it a better place.
In Wisdom of the Medicine Wheel, you’ll:
- Better understand how and why you cling to fixed perceptions and the fear behind these thoughts
- Learn how to let go and relax the need for control over your life
- Identify how we entrap our energy and learn ways to move it to a healthy flow
- Discover how to put spirit in charge of your life via the power of the shamanic path
- Experience and understand how to activate the vibrational fields you want (like the fields of fun) and deactivate the ones that affect you negatively (like the fields of worry or anxiety)
- Refine your curiosity to ask the right questions: “What am I doing right?” instead of “What am I doing wrong?”
- Enter the natural flow of life using the wisdom of the Medicine Wheel
- Learn how information is stored in the body and anchors in your instinctive core and how to bring it to the surface for release
- What relationship you have with time, the 3 demons that run “time,” and how you can develop a shamanic relationship with time that will support you
- Understand the energy of transition and how it relates to completion and release of the old dream
- Establish a deep and permanent connection to the shamanic experience of using the wisdom of the Medicine Wheel, your allies and all the shamanic tools you have to live the life you want
- And much more…
In this brand new Shift Network program, you’ll discover age-old shamanic wisdom and learn experiential exercises that can help you dismantle the outdated “dream” for your life and create a new one.
These are practices you’ll value and want to use throughout your lifetime — approaches to life that allow you to open to the flow of the beneficial energies around you and to connect with and best use the helping allies in other realms.
It is also the opportunity to — perhaps, finally — discover how to break through your stuck patterns, including karmic residue from trauma, giving you the freedom to manifest the life you desire.
We all need support in our spiritual journeys, and when you choose a shamanic path, you choose to awaken through the discovery and transformation of your many energetic layers, your use of conscious intention, your development of an ever-growing heart, and your deepening connection to all living things…
It’s a path that empowers you to let go the old and “re-dream” the new.
And whether this new program offers you your first steps on this ancient and sacred path or you’re looking to deepen your shamanic practice, Jose and Lena offer us a practical and heartfelt approach to living our lives — one that can help us break past our limitations and expand the scope of what we’ve ever thought possible.
This is what it means to awaken shamanically…
What You’ll Discover in These 7 Modules
In this 7-module transformational intensive, Jose and Lena will guide you through the fundamental spiritual skills and competencies you’ll need to transform and re-dream our reality to better support our evolution.
This course will feature teachings, training sessions, and experiential practices with Jose and Lena. Each session will build harmoniously upon the previous ones so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles you’ll need to work with age-old wisdom to dismantle the old paradigm and create a new one from a shamanic perspective.
Module 1: Challenging Your Most Cherished Beliefs
Be prepared to question the way you see the world as we shake things up using a shamanic perspective and introduce you to the powerful principles of this ancient wisdom.
From ordinary reality into non-ordinary reality, you’ll experience the spirit world as it relates to time, presence, and the awareness of how you dream up your own reality.
In this class, you’ll:
- Better understand how and why you cling to fixed perceptions and the fear behind these thoughts
- Learn how to let go and relax the need for control over your life
- Be inspired by the 7 paths of the shaman and their role in our world today
- Discover what it means to be shamanically awake
- Identify how we entrap our energy and learn ways to move it to a healthy flow
- Discover how to put spirit in charge of your life via the power of the shamanic path
Module 2: Use the Medicine Wheel as a Powerful Shamanic Map
How can you begin everything in the most effective way? When do you know when something is complete? How does your curiosity liberate the information to manifest what you want in your life?
We begin our shamanic journey through the Medicine Wheel in the East, exploring the magic and mystery of the void, so we can understand where everything begins and how the quantum field interacts with our intentions.
In this module, you’ll:
- Experience and understand how to activate the vibrational fields you want (like the fields of fun) and deactivate the ones that affect you negatively (like the fields of worry or anxiety)
- Refine your curiosity to ask the right questions: “What am I doing right?” instead of “What am I doing wrong?”
- Learn to experience the 3 magical fields that permanently wake us up shamanically
- Understand how the fields relate to your personal “medicine,” your unique gift in this life
- Enter the natural flow of life using the wisdom of the Medicine Wheel
Module 3: Releasing Your Deepest Patterns
We store trauma, intense experiences, and karmic events as patterns that settle in our bones and in our instinctive core. These traumas are linked chains of reinforcing memories that condition us to feel victimized and helpless.
They imprint and condition us to create our reality from a place of fear. They limit our freedom and block us from creating what we want.
In this session, you’ll:
- Learn how information is stored in the body and anchors in your instinctive core and how to bring it to the surface for release
- Shake up the conditioning that controls you
- Discover how to release old patterns of fear and limitation
- Bring in new frequencies of potential and restored energy
Module 4: Enlisting Your Allies to Reshape Your Dreams of the Future
We have much more support than we’re conscious of from our allies and spirit helpers in non-ordinary reality. The direction of the South in the Medicine Wheel provides us with the container through which we explore our relationship with support.
To receive support requires an open heart, which is central to the Shamanic path. How much support do you have? Where does it come from? We’ll journey to connect with an ally for support.
In this module, you’ll:
- Discover how the South helps you with the support you need
- Learn how containers work in our lives and how they can support or entrap us
- Learn your sources of support and how to cultivate them
- Discover how your allies show up
- Understand how to get the most from your allies and how to instruct them most effectively
Module 5: The Nature of Your Obstacles
What Keeps the Old Paradigm Going
Life is like a game with specific rules of play that determine winning and losing. When we discover why we’re playing this game, what the rules are, as well as the nature of our obstacles, we can play with much more skill and power. We learn who and what our opponent really is and uncover how to defeat it.
What if you could recognize your opponents as fears and learn to eliminate them?
In this class, you’ll delve into the specific primary fears that contribute to losing the game over and over, and how the parasite personality uses these fears against us. You’ll discover that there are ways to erase each fear and eliminate your opponent absolutely.
In this module, you’ll discover:
- The specific rules of the game of life
- The 7 fear patterns whose mission is to defeat us in this game
- How to identify who your unique specific opponent is and how it got there
- How to identify the way it operates by setting up patterns of expectations
- The nature of these sets of expectations that entrap and defeat you
- How to face your opponent to defeat it utterly and completely
Module 6: Clarity, Focus, Transition & Time
What’s your relationship with time and how does your belief system around time influence how you experience your physical reality? The shamanic view on time and how to work with it opens a freedom of possibilities for dealing with past, present, and future.
Are you really clear on what you want? Do you know how to prepare an intention with focus and clarity?
The West direction of the Medicine Wheel teaches us about intention and how releasing your attachments is necessary for the freedom to go for something new. If you have navigated the East and the South successfully, the West will hand you the clarity of what you want with ease and grace.
In this module, you’ll discover:

- Understand the energy of transition and how it relates to completion and release of the old dream
- Become proficient at setting intentions for a new dream
- Learn about the importance of being present through shamanic experience
- Establish an intimate relationship with the spirit of the West and learn to use it as a powerful ally
Module 7: Taking Action, Putting It All Together
Dreaming the New Dream
What if you could transform your world and how you envision your dreams of what could be? What if action came easily and effortlessly?
We move to the North in the Medicine Wheel and use its wisdom to integrate, assimilate, and infuse our new visions with power and magic. This is where we put it all together and discover what it feels like to experience a new reality in a world we wish to see.
In this final module, you’ll experience:
- A collective vision of the future we wish to create
- Explore your relationship with struggle vs ease
- Work with the future probability you wish to see

Creating the Future From “the Now Place”
Audio Teaching From Jose Stevens
In this 90-minute recording of a live lecture, Jose speaks on practical ways you can be prepared for what’s to come. This talk will introduce some concepts on preparing for the future, both our personal desired future and our desires for the future of the world. There are always new scientific discoveries about what’s to come, but the big problem is that the world of science is very disparate and their findings are out of the mainstream and often unknown. Jose touches upon a few experiments that may raise your eyebrows and open your mind to what’s possible.
The Meditation for the Future
Audio Recording From the Power Path Meditation Series
In this bonus audio, you’ll receive a guided visualization using the future self as a guide to help manifest the best possible future which includes yourself as well as guidance for planetary healing purposes. This meditation is based on the principle that the future is flexible and not set in stone. There is much room for choice and intention to change your probable future and to create a probable future for yourself which is more aligned with Spirit.
Effective Intentions, Goals & Resolutions
Audio Recording From the Power Path
In this audio teaching, you’ll receive practical “how to” for setting good intentions. The teaching covers the difference between intentions, goals, and resolutions, as well as work with the different fields of prosperity and how to get clarity about what you want.
