The Power of Shamanism and Mysticism
Are you seeking healing?
Are you called to be a healer?
Do you experience unusual experiences through dreams, animal encounters, or intuition?
Do you want to learn ancient shamanic, mystical, spiritual wisdom, rituals, and techniques to heal yourself or help heal others? Do you long for an awakened fuller sense of being alive?
I’ve trained for over 25 years with masterful spiritual and shamanic teachers and healers; several are master native shamans.
Shamanism is the root spiritual tradition of the world.
The quintessential principle of Shamanism is that all life is precious, alive, interactive, and treated with respect. We often think of Shamanism as a primitive worldview, but my experience working with indigenous shamans is far from primitive. Instead, it is as complex as a living ecosystem. Like an ecosystem, Indigenous shamanic cultures recognize and attend to many seen and unseen relationships. Ancient shamanic healing practices, ceremonies, and rituals support the interdependence of all life, seen and unseen.
The revered earth is the most excellent teacher and healer in shamanic cultures. We grow through natural cycles and rhythms, and the earth provides us with all we need to live. Returning to the wonders of nature heals and welcomes the soul back to belonging. Shamanism recognizes seen and unseen worlds, material and spiritual worlds woven together.
Shamanic ancient Indigenous wisdom offers proven guidelines for a balanced, ethical, beautiful life caring for the body, mind, soul, and community. Our purpose intertwines with a larger purpose. Our healing intertwines with the world’s healing, for like a healthy living ecosystem, each person has a special place within a whole. The whole, the earth, family, and community, support the person, and the person gives back to the whole. In the way of generosity- the gift keeps on giving. The matriarchal tribal tradition of the northwest celebrates a nurturing grateful way of life. I can offer guidance and skills if you want to learn these ancient healing ways and have a fuller, awakened spiritual life.
Mysticism
Mystics have powers of receptivity and sympathy that are particularly acute. They are highly sensitive people. A mystic seeks by contemplation and self-surrender to obtain unity with the divine, and many mystics experience visions, dreams, and inspirations connected to the sacred.
Mysticism is the pursuit of connecting with the divine. We do not often consider Indigenous shamanic cultures mystical because they are associated with place and the earth. However, while studying with Indigenous shamans, I realized their culture includes the mystical. Mystical experiences,
breakthroughs in nature, and ceremonies and practices lead to a direct connection with the great mystery- the divine. The earth and us are imbued with the great spirit. Indigenous shamanic cultures recognize that the holy, the great spirit, is within everything but also mysterious and beyond our limited human understanding.
These spiritual traditions offer you powerful, proven healing and wisdom.

Historically and cross-culturally, people have sought wise leaders to help them explore their purpose and connection with the sacred. The role of a soul mentor, shaman, sage, or mystic is to help you understand your way of connecting with your soul and the sacred, whether seen or unseen. Soul mentoring will aid you in finding your unique path and the practices supporting you on the way to a more profound, genuine, and fulfilling way of being in the world.
Imagine a kaleidoscope or a Mandala created with many colors and shapes and woven into a stunning whole. As a healer and teacher in life’s spiritual, psychological, and social realms for nearly 40 years, I carry many colors of wisdom and healing practices merged into a whole. I aim to pass on what I know. Many years of living in the woods and studying with indigenous traditional healers (otherwise known as shamans) taught me powerful rituals, practices, and ceremonies.
