authenticity
If you are on a journey to know your truest self…
Are you
Facing challenges yet still feeling a spark of hope, looking for some help in how to fan that little flame?
Are you
Moving into new (ad)ventures that are unfamiliar and uncomfortable to you, looking for some guidance in how to feel more ready for these moves?
Are you
Feeling inner shifts and changes in your outlook or beliefs, questioning if these reflect the authentic you?
Then you would benefit from a session!
My Path to Shamanism
Since I was a young man, I have been interested in indigenous cultures, first those of my local region in Illinois, then expanding to include the spiritual and healing practices of indigenous cultures from around the world.
In 2011, I found a reason to go further than just reading and researching to become serious about my studies. My elderly mother was nearing the end of her life. Her life had been one of extreme difficulties having lost her mother when she was a young child. Then she faced the deaths of both my sister and brother. In 2010, she told me that when she died “I have some serious questions for God.”
To aid her in her decline and end of life transition, I began my formal study of the shamanic practices of Quechua people of the high Andes of Peru. Particularly, I was interested in a practice called recapitulation, a type of ceremonial life review. Over the next two years I completed this recapitulation with my mother. She died a peaceful death. The experience reinforced my calling to the shamanic path.
I have spent over ten years continuing my apprenticeships and initiations into the healing techniques of the Quechua, descendants of the Incas. Now I offer my skills and services to our community in humble gratitude to all of my teachers.
I will hear you with my heart and subtle senses.
Your energetic form is what gives shape to your conscious communication. But sometimes, who you think you are muddies the translation. I am able to hear beyond your words to what in your energetic self needs to be heard.
