Safety, Infinity and Gratitude

As we come into a place together of remembering our human capacity and our infinite connections and relationships with Nature and the Spirits, we are asked to more and more open to what is beyond the so-called 'normal' conditioning.

Shamanic healing allows us to release these conditioned and acquired beliefs that ultimately hold us back into patterns of separation, fear and really a constrained belief in what is possible.  And of course, this has a direct impact ...

Shamanic practice is filled with the creative process.  We make things to honour and represent our spirit guides, we create rituals and items to celebrate and send our gratitude to Spirit, and we create and imagine our existence into this form.

Through all time, people have made sacred healing tools and ritual items.   They have created gifts to the Spirits, the healers and teachers of their communities.  This seems to be a 'human' trait... that we create.  We imagine.  This creativity is an in...

At some point in our shamanic healing... we become aware that healing of the self, healing of others and healing of our Earth, Universe and all beings are one.

It is the 'work' of the Spirits themselves that guide us into this knowing so that it can rest in our bones and breathe in our lungs.  It is they who move this mental 'concept' into the living truth within us.

We welcome you to bring this awareness into your self-healing sessions and if you are a practitioner, into your work with others...

How do I learn Shamanism?

by Steve Serr

A good question, but if you are heading out to learn shamanism, a better question is...

I know this sounds weird, but if you are heading out to be a shamanic practitioner, you are going to be facing not so much plugging stuff into your brain, which is usually what people think when they think about learning things, but rather, by becoming.

I did not abruptly end that sentence. I mean it exactly as it is written: to be a sh...
