"Riding the Drum": The Art of Shamanic Journeying

Since time began, indigenous people "traveled" into non-ordinary realities to gain information and answers to questions. Learn how this beautiful ancient practice can be applied to your own life.
Workshops are presented as Level 1(Beginners) and Level 2 (Intermediates)
We engage the Core-shamanic method of shamanic journeying, drawing on common ancient techniques from across the world. We will discuss history, concepts, terminology, techniques, symbolism and resources to understand your journey progress. Level 2 is a deeper dive: how to help family and friends, a beginning technique in divination with the natural world, and a group journey for a common purpose.
Each of us holds the power and wisdom of all we need right inside of us. Accessing your own personal information in a natural and safe way is the journey method I use and pass on.

Are you a healing professional ready to expand your repertoire? Sound Healing for Practitioners is geared toward helping you learn the amazing art form of sound healing! Knowing how to use bowls, bells, chimes, plates or shakers correctly can immediately help your client relax and release anxiety. With only a few minutes of sound therapy, your client is in the "healing zone" ready to listen, ready to receive, ready to take action as you direct them.
Knowing what you are doing and why is important in sound healing, just as it is in any healing craft.

Shamanic Living: Healing Techniques and Ceremonies of the Ancient Ways

Native cultures have been healing themselves for thousands of years without pharmaceutical drugs and clinical surgery or psychotherapy. How do they do this, and how can these techniques possibly help you?
You may be surprised to find that these indigenous practices are actually based in science, working at the quantum level. We' re talking vibrational science here - including sound, light, colors, thoughts, emotions, speech, movement. Quantum physics is beginning to explain the science behind these ancient healing modalities, and the medical world is even beginning to incorporate the ancient ways into so called "conventional" healing therapies.
One of the best healing methods I have ever found, and one of the most interesting, is the study of shamanic healing. Shamanic healing is really about shamanic living, a way of life. It is not a religion, but a set of tools that enables us to have a connected experience with the natural world. We are, after all HUMAN, and we live on the planet EARTH...shouldn't humans and Earth have a working and interactive relationship? Shamanic living includes making use of the shamanic journey, auric clearings, rattling and drumming, power animal retrieval, soul retrieval, dancing, chanting, power songs, divination, gratitude, fire ceremony and much more. I'll share with you my training in indigenous healing and ceremony, gathered from years of study and exposure to Native American, Polynesian and Celtic cultures as well as my own personal experiences.
Class instruction and individual instruction fees vary-contact me for more information if you are interested in this type of instruction or experience or to learn more about these ancient healing techniques, or if you need an energy clearing of land or home, or another type of ceremony. There is never a charge for ceremonies, but there is a charge for travel, time, materials and instruction.

Meditation

I have practiced meditation since my college years. There are numerous meditation methods and I have practiced many styles, but my specialty is in instruction for beginners and intermediates, Meditation can be learned on your own, but I find it is not nearly as effective as it is with a teacher, at least in the beginning stages.
Did you know that you can meditate without sitting in the lotus position (seen left) ? There are so many different ways to meditate, to calm your mind and body...you can even do a walking meditation. There are new methods of bio-feedback that you can use right on your computer. I can show you many different styles, and you can decide what's best for you. Then we'll work on that until you feel confident you are getting the most out of it.
Whether you are interested in private study or setting up a class with friends, I would love to share with you a way to de-stress your life, improve your health and learn more about yourself - through meditation.

Stress Reduction through Self Awareness

Stress is the great killer of modern humankind. The physical body is just not made to handle the types of stress we live with moment to moment in our current world, and when we cannot release the stress, it collects in our bodies, causing great harm.
Stress reduction starts with Self Awareness - learning to recognize and interpret your own behaviors and reactions to stress at the moment they are occurring, and then doing something about it BEFORE it can harm you. You can learn to do this, and together with Meditation, you can greatly reduce the physical effects of stress on your heart and your body, as well as improve many facets of your life, from health to relationships.
Working with you will be an ongoing process, week by week until we can get you to a place that you understand how to handle stress on your own. I like to meet in person at first, and then move to Skype sessions or phone sessions.
I also highly recommend HeartMath as a training tool for stress reduction, especially if you are into high-tech, scientific stuff. Visit heartmath.com and see what 20 years of research has yielded...it's pretty amazing.
Stress is often a result of not taking enough time for yourself, putting everyone else first and not valuing your own needs. Or, worrying about providing for everyone financially and not having time to live your life. And of course, stressors such as shocking news or a traumatic event. If any of this seems familiar, contact me and let's get started on an individualized program that will get your life and your health back on track. Acknowledging is the first step!
