- Shamanic Healing: Through a practice known as extraction healing, spiritual intrusions or energy blockages are
removed from the client. These intrusions often manifest themselves in the emotional and physical realms. Shamanic
healing can sometimes bring about dramatic changes in a person's mental, emotional, spiritual or even physical state
of wellbeing.
- Soul Restoration: In shamanism, it is accepted that part of the soul is free to leave the body and travel on its own.
This occurs voluntarily during the time of dreaming and shamanic journeying. This can also occur involuntarily when, for
example, a person suffers some form of trauma (accident, illness, addiction, physical or sexual abuse). The shamanic
belief is that the soul fragments, and that these fragments leave the person rather than dealing with the shock or pain
of the incident. Often, these fragments return on their own. Sometimes, they are unable or unwilling to return, and
the person experiences a wide variety of symptoms including depression, feelings of incompleteness, or the inability to
move forward. In this case, the shaman journeys to retrieve the missing soul fragments, and reunites them with the
patient, who then sets about facilitating their path of reintegration.
- Power Animal Retrieval: Power animals are guiding spirits which aid the shaman by providing protection and advice.
A Power animal is a powerful ally, and will bring the shaman their own special teachings, based upon the form which
they assume. The shamanic belief is that everyone has at least one power animal watching over them and helping
them through out their lives - even if they are unaware of that fact. During a power animal retrieval, the shaman
journeys on behalf of the patient for the purpose of meeting and retrieving their power animal. The patient is then
introduced to their power animal, and begins the path of discovering why that animal has come to them, and how it will
help them during their lives.
- Depossession: Possession is the invasion of one's person by a spirit, disembodied entity, being or force. Sometimes,
when the physical body dies, the spiritual body lingers on instead of crossing over. Occasionally these spirits attach
themselves to the bodies of others out of confusion, fear, loneliness, anger, or some other reason known only to
them. While under the influence of an invading spirit, it's common for a person to experience sudden changes in
personality, uncommon cravings, depression, unexplained physical problems, memory loss, difficulty concentrating,
panic or anxiety attacks, or general feelings of dread. During depossession, the shaman contacts the invading entity
and assists it through the process of crossing over into the light. The entity is seen as a suffering being, and the
emphasis is placed on easing its pain, thereby bringing relief to the client.
- Harner Method Shamanic Counseling (HMSC)©: HMSC enables clients to journey into nonordinary reality and obtain
answers to their questions from the Teachers they encounter there. The shamanic practicioner guides the client
through the process of journeying, but real work is done by the client with the help and guidance of their teachers.
This empowers the client to participate actively in their own quest for healing.
- Ritual Retrieval: Rituals can be used for anything from honoring the dead to the blessing of homes. Often one feels
moved to pay their respects or show their gratitude through some form of ritualistic gesture but is not quite sure how
to go about it. In this case, the shaman can journey to their teacher and obtain a ritual for the client to perform.
- Shamanic Journey Work: The shaman travels equally between the physical and spiritual worlds. He may journey to
consult with a Spirit Guide, Teacher or power animal for the purpose of advice, healing, or to learn some form of ritual.
Either through one-on-one sessions, or through shamanic journeying circles, clients are introduced to the process of
shamanic journeying, and begin to experience the benefits it may have to offer them. For those already familiar with
this process, advanced journeying work is also available. For group Shamanic journeying circles, a donation of $15
dollars per person is suggested.
- Medicine Wheel Walk: The Medicine Wheel teaches us about the interconnectedness of all things. As each season
brings its own special energy to the cycle of the year, so too does each direction of the Medicine Wheel bring its own
prayerful energy to the Sacred Hoop of Creation. East, the direction of Springtime, brings us vision. South, the
Summer, is the place of passion and emotion. West, the Autumn, manifests itself in the physical. This is the place
where we go within to do our sacred work, and bring that work outward into the community. North, the Winter, is the
place of the spiritual, and of realizing the fruits of our labors. Participants are invited to journey through the four
directions of the Medicine Wheel as together we carry our prayers through the East, South, West, and North in the
true spirit of individual and communal healing.
- Fees: Unless otherwise noted, all work is offered on a donation only basis. I charge no fee for healing / shamanic
counseling services, and ask only that you offer what you can truly afford or deem appropriate.
