About me

I stumbled onto the Shamanic path in 1997 after a decade of study in other earth-based spiritual practices. The majority of my training has been through the Foundation for Shamanic Studies. The FSS teaches Core Shamanism, which draws from cultures all over the world, taking what is universal in Shamanic practices but leaving specific cultural traditions to their own peoples.

My human teachers: Janine Ellison, Tom Cowan, John Lawrence, Sandra Ingerman, Michael Harner, Isa Gucciardi, Leslie Conton, Miguel Kavlin, Anank Nunik Nunkai, Betsy Bergstrom.

My biggest teachers have been the Initiations of Hardship that life has presented me with and my dedication to following a path of healing. My biggest healers have been those who have helped me along the way, changing me as a person through their unconditional love. All I ask for is the gift to help others in the same way.

What I have taken away from all this is:

Technique does not heal, only love does.
The spirits are alive and well; the depth of my relationship with them is up to me.
Compassion is a powerful and mysterious thing; it is the answer to most of my questions.
The same way of working loses its power.

In world view and cultural leaning I am a pagan, meaning I am a person who experiences the divine primarily through nature. This also means that I sense life and intelligence in all things. My pagan roots are in Wicca but have vastly broadened over the years.

My personal source of spiritual soul strengthening, energy clearing, me-stabilizing is found in Qigong at Embrace the Moon (link).
