Shamanism
In Shamanism, the call can come from nowhere or birthright, but more often modern shamans and shamankas hear their wisdom first during a time of deep personal turmoil. How you become aware is less important that how you nurture it. The responsibility is to maintaining the empty vessel for healing to come in.
What is Shamanism?
Shamanism can be traced back 20,000 years in Siberia and occupies historical tradition throughout almost every culture. The practitioners often journey through a trance like state, accompanied by guides from the non traditional reality, and facilitate reunion of soul parts, through divination, psychopomp work, and energy clearings. Traditionally, these practices were done by the shaman by request of the client, and no information was shared to the client.
Shamanism Today
Like most things, Shamanism has adapted to most benefit the client and the changing social environment. Consent is always primary within all stages. The information is now exchanged with the client and can be spoken aloud. This is akin to the work of C.J. Jung with dreams and the incorporation of social sciences.
It is a very safe practice that can be very relaxing for many and is akin to Reiki, Dream Therapy, Energy Work or Somatic healing.
Sadly, the thought can be that modern shamans are mainly facilitating psychedelics and storming capital building. This is far from the truth. The treatment of plant medicine is a part of the practice, however the steps to readiness can take months or years. We remain neutral and hollow during the journey at all times, so any beliefs and judgements are extracted prior to the clients arrival.
Who is Shamanism For?
Have you felt stuck or attached to an outcome? Has someone exited your life leaving a major impact on your soul? Was there ever a time your bad luck wouldn’t change? Did you ever walk into a space and just get the creeps? Shamans have felt it too.
A trained a person can receive information about the cause and cure for those experiences from you and your trusted guides. Information can be transmitted through glimpsing into past lives, ancestral trauma, and/or energy fields, which may very well be at the root of suffering.
There is no age barrier to shamanic practices, as the soul experiences time differently than our bodies. Work can be done for land, architecture and animals in addition people in suffering from medical and physical conditions. By working with the Earth and it’s knowledge of what transpired, both the client and shaman remain protected during the journey or workings. Consent and trust is always required regardless of the ones verbal abilities to communicate it.
It’s important to note, that the shaman, or shamanka, is not the one doing the work. Their job is to be a bridge for the healing to take place.
How it works?
With the help of an audio driver, such as a drum, rattles, harmonium, drone machine, chanting or singing bowl, shamans journey internally to non localized spaces in our collective reality. This arena is accessible to all individuals, and is often vividly redescribed in dream form. This space can contain a number of potential energies and experiences that may be helpful or not helpful for the us. Acting as a vessel for trusted guides, a shaman can engage your personal guides for advice or assistance in removing obstacles or balancing energies.
This work can be done remotely and without limitation to time or distance. The client will relax their body, slow their heart rate and remain focused during the experience. Clients report a comfortable feeling of ease, and/or download of new information in days following. The practice can be a few minutes to an hour with reintegration. Consent is always asked before any journey or healing practice. The trust and faith in the practice from ancestors and elders before me is the basis of truth in this practice, as the personal experiences of my clients.

Power Retrieval & Soul Retrieval
Often parts of our self become trapped in cycles or past experiences, leaving us feeling incomplete or stuck. A shaman can journey to those parts and facilitate the readiness or the return. All Healing work is done in the non-oridanary world and can be facilitated remotely for a person, place or pet, here or otherwhere.

Space Clearing & Energetic Interferences
Our homes, offices and environments contain their own akashic record, carrying unique stories from present and former inhabitants. When imbalances occur, the practice of Space Clearing can be utilized to restore stasis. Similarly, individuals can experience an energetic disruption or interference. A session can focus on identifying and releasing inferences for individuals as well.
