Changes

FSS Europe offers two additional advanced courses which are not part of the range of seminars on the US site: „The Power of Mountains“ which aims at finding „places of power“: ''“The Alps offer a multitude of possibilities for shamanic work with their rocks, waterfalls, glaciers, plants, and animals. Shamanic experience will be brushed up and new techniques will be tried. Furthermore, competences with mountains will be demonstrated, we will learn how to move appropriately in heights of about 2,000 metres … and to apply shamanic methodology on this fascinating and challenging environment“''.<ref>http://www.fss.at/Page/ID/34 accessed Feb 3, 2013</ref> The other one is a course titled „Vision Dance“ which is uncorrectly said to correspond with the English term „ghost dance“. The description of this course claims: ''“Visions are power, joy, and health giving realities which may give inspiration and direction to individual life as well as to communal life.“''<ref>http://www.fss.at/Page/Key?key=VmlzaW9uc3Rhbno%3D  accessed Feb 3, 2013</ref> However, in indigenous spirituality, vision quests are not to be confused with the comparatively short phenomenon of the Ghost Dance which also only spread to a part of the indigenous nations in the USA, and to suggest these were or are one and the same may not even be characterized as neglectful. The US site has no comparable course listed for „Ghost Dance“, while FSS Europe lists five seminars planned for 2013.

Neither the US nor the European site mention any fees charged for these seminars. As FSS is a non-profit organisation, the seminars are technically organised by the staff members who are also to be contacted regarding fees: ''“To register, obtain information, get fees and/or locations for any of the listed workshops, please contact the person or organization listed below as "contact person". The Foundation does not register participants for any of its courses and will refer you to the listed contact for any information beyond that provided here.“''.<ref name="wkshp10" /> Accordingly, only six seminars announced on the Vienna site are said to be organised by FSS, five of them with Paul Uccusic as a teacher, and one done by Susan Mokelke, who is the executive director of FSS <ref>http://www.shamanicstudies.net/Page/Key?key=U3VzYW4gTW9rZWxrZQ%3D%3D accessed Feb 3, 2013</ref>
