I have been reflecting upon this beautiful mentor-apprentice relationship that develops through our programmes at Shaman College.  It calls me back through my life but also beyond that to lifetimes of mentors and apprentices through the ages.

A mentor assists their apprentice in drawing forth their light, their skills, their capacity and the surprises and beauty that no one could have predicted. An apprentice shows up for this.  Together, there is a meeting place.

At Shaman College, our goal i...

Hello Dear Shaman College Community,

One of the qualities that so many of us share is the natural state of wanting to assist others.  It as if we know deep in our bones that we are here to serve and to help, we know that we are here to heal and to sooth.

In this audio, I speak about the tidal flow of giving and receiving.  I invite you to look at this breath rhythm as a teaching from Mother Ocean, and to discover for yourself how you are navigating within the balance of giving and receiving.

When we work with spiritual/physical/emotional healing for ourselves and for others, we are always in a state of inquiry.... in a state of discovery.

You never own healing, you never fully grasp it, you do not control it... yet you can rest into the hollow bone state and facilitate the connections that reveal the healing state within all beings.

In this birdsong morning contemplation, I share with you a look into what it can mean to be a "seeker" and how this is linked to intentions or agendas...

Welcome to this audio guidance...

Almost every morning, I have been simply standing... facing the directions. Each practice is different, each experience is different. Yet, each time the directions ask me to spend time with them.

All the elements, all of the realms, all of the chakras, all of the directions exist all of the time.

Often times we are just too quick.  We have been trained through our culture to look for quick results, quick response, quick answers.  So quick we can miss what is ...

In a place of marker points, of form and structure, of shapes and straight lines... there is another rhythm, a pulse, a breath, a flow and a dance.

I welcome you to approach healing work through this rhythm.

Many times in healing we are inviting a whole other perspective to the binding constructs.  While an illness or challenge carries bindings, walls and barriers... we can introduce a breath that exists both within those constructs and also beyond the barriers.

This rhythm of life, of nature...

Hello Dear Shaman College Community,

We have a unique relationship with divination within shamanism.  The tools and abilities we have honed allow us to both receive information through the cognitive channels and to get 'hands-on' guidance on how to embody and breathe this information into our day to day lives.

Shamanism is a bridge, not just for messages and information but also for change, metamorphosis, growth, and healing.

Some people can get into a pattern of divining and divining - alway...
