The troubles of this world can only be healed from the other world ​
​and the troubles in the other world can only be healed from this world.” (Irish Proverb)

Welcome! Congratulations to you for exploring what the shamanic spiritual path can do for you. My greatest joy is to help you work deeply with your inborn, sacred longing for wholeness, power, meaning and beauty. You belong here, in this body, in this disastrous magnificence that we call the world. You longed to be here and now you are here. You are not alone, because Spirit is always weaving the new fabric of your heart, and placing offerings in the temple of your senses. My greatest joy is to help you awaken to the mystery of being here, to help you respond to that call of your own soul, and to have the courage to follow your gifts. I am blessed to have been trained by magnificent shamanic teachers in ways of healing and teaching that can help you transform suffering and return you to a holistic and healthy relationship  with your yourself and with your sacred life.

In the internet world, you can get fabulous information from books, webinars and videos, and in in-person groups that involve travel and lodging. But, in my experience as a student of the Great Mystery of Sky, Earth and Sea, nothing replaces a human-to-human mentorship for both study and healing. Students come to shamanic training with a wide variety of past experience and personal goals, so I like to teach specifically to your individual needs. Here is both the challenging and the good news about shamanic training: the vast majority of it is done alone, doing the diligent work between you and your helping spirits. Shamanic work is far less about the techniques you learn and far more about your solid realionship with Spirit. What you need is the ongoing guidance in how to do that work - how to proceed step by step, how to not get overwhelmed by doubt, loneliness, or self-deprecation, and how to find a discipline that works for you without the cycle of guilt and failure that moves so many off their spiritual path. So, I've designed my training to focus on fewer students with more ongoing interaction, rather than on large groups with less personal interaction with the teacher. I love teaching in this form. If it makes sense to you, take a look at my "Personal Apprenticeship."

My Store doesn't have a lot in it yet, but I'm working on items that will help you in your at-home study, or in your own work on self-healing.  I hope to have a range of helpful offerings by late summer.
