The foundational, fundamental and essential skills for a strong and authentic Shamanic Practice.

Honouring source, place and Spirits of Land. Discovering your personal and unique cosmology without cultural mis/appropriation. Becoming your own Spiritual authority. With strong connections to Spirit Animals and Guides who have walked this path before us, guiding us on our journey.

Connecting with the Natural Spirits of Place and the land that you walk on. They are calling for new songs, new stories, new traditions being born.

…The slow steady rhythm of the raindrops, the ocean moves and the drum beats in time with the pulse of Earth Mother…the whispering of the Wind…Enchanting you…Enticing you…Calling you…Waking you…Singing you home..

We slumber and dream…we dream asleep and dream awake…of what our lives could be, would be…

Your awakening, remembering…Your Spirit song.

The Spirits that talk and walk, and heal and guide and nurture us every moment. Every breath. The ones you might hear/see/sense with you in the forest, ocean, air…beside you, with you, within you. Surrounding you, embracing you. Supporting you. Whispering in the wind or singing in the rain or dancing as they sing their spring song. The warm kiss of the sun as it graces your cheek…The magic of Spider Woman in her web, glistening with the dew in the first light of dawn.

The land that supports, feeds, teaches and inspires us. This is our time. Our place. Our land and the Spirits welcome us.This is a time of great turbulence and of Great Change. If not you who? If not now when?

If you hear, then it is your call too.
