Environmental Shamanism and Shamanic Healing

If you are interested in having shamanic healing work done, either for person or place, I can help. 
I have studied with Sandra Ingerman, Dana Robinson and Beth Beurkens of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies,
and I would be honored to work with you.
In this work, we will hold sacred space, and ask for answers from Spirit
for your home, health, happiness and/or spiritual path.
(I can be found here on Sandra Ingerman's Practitioner List.)

Shamanism embraces the idea that everything is alive, everything has an innate spirit. There is a spirit in an eagle, a spirit in a tree, a spirit in a rock, even a spirit innate to your home. And with this belief that each thing has a spirit, we humans then find ourselves in a position of equality rather than dominance. Shamans don’t follow the laws of humankind; they follow the laws of spirit. They don’t seek to dominate the earth and its creatures; they strive to live in harmony and balance with all life forms and with the spirit of place.

Shamanism has enjoyed a resurgence of interest in the last twenty years. Sandra Ingerman’s book Soul Retrieval, Mending the Fragmented Self and The Foundation for Shamanic Studies (directed by Michael Harner) have contributed to this increased interest. Many indigenous shamans have come forward in recent years to help train others and share their knowledge. Their prophecies have urged them forward; the time is now - we are at a crossroads in choosing to cherish and heal the earth, or continue on the path of unbridled destruction.

Environmental Shamanism is the work that seeks healing for spaces, places, and environments, both built and natural. My background as an architect informs this work to help you create a healthy, supportive, more sustainable environment for living and working. I would be happy to work with you in traditional healing shamansim, or with environmental shamanism. E-mail me if you have any questions or would like to know more how we can work together.

Here is a sample of the information given in a journey:

In a Shamanic Journey for a client,
I received this answer from a spider spirit, who offered this wisdom:

"Life takes patience. 
I weave a web with grace and care, I take the time to make it very beautiful,
asymmetrical yet balanced and perfect in it's asymmetry.
Then I wait, and the bugs come to me.
I don't have to do any other part than to weave the beautiful web.
That is my ONLY task.  The food comes to me.
When it does come, I am ready to pounce, I have been contemplating its arrival, so I am ready.
I don't do anything but weave the web, wait, and be ready.
Yes, there are sometimes babies that I make.  In fact, thousands at a time.
Most of them die, but a few will survive, and prosper in the world.
Again, I don't have to do anything but make them and release them into the world.
Nature Spirit takes care of the rest.  If I were to think about the babies all the time,
my heart would break with the longing for their well-being.
I have to accept the truth that only a few make it, and the rest perish after a short time.
Even the web I spend hours patiently weaving. . . . it will do a job for me, then get destroyed by wind or water. But the next web will be a bit better for the practice I have had.
My only job is to be in the now, making the web, waiting for what comes."
 

Shamanism is a powerful way to access the metaphors and wisdom of nature spirits,
please let me know if you would like to work with me for personal healing, or healing for your environment.

Click HERE to go to a payment page for online consultations, and feel free to e-mail me with questions.
I find the best way to work, if we cannot meet in person, is to have a preliminary phone interview then after I journey for you with your questions, I will call or e-mail with my results.
You can pre-pay for this consultation using the paypal buttons HERE.
