Individual Healing Sessions
Shamanic Body Trance Healing
The shaman, in an altered state of consciousness, resides in a space of
Soul awareness where ceremony is performed for healing on physical,
emotional and spiritual levels. Rather than focusing on the personality
of the ego mind, we expand to the realm of soul awareness, where we are
whole and unlimited potential. The physical body then resonates to
create greater balance with Spirit during the session, the ego is able to
move into an adjusted form, allowing a rekindling of energy that results
in more vibrant health and rejuvenation.
Shamanic Healing
Shamanism is world-wide phenomenon, appearing in places as
geographically diverse as Australia, Africa, Asia and the Americas.
Shamans are consulted by people from all walks of life...for healing,
divination and as intermediaries with the spirit world. Indeed,
shamanism is the "doorway to the trans-personal" awareness. It is not
an organized religion as such, but rather a spiritual practice.
Shamanism cuts across all faith and creed, reaching deep levels of
ancestral memory. As a primal belief system, which precedes
established religion, it has its own universal symbolism and cosmology,
inhabited by beings, Gods and totems, who display similar
characteristics, (although they appear in various forms, depending on
their places of origin). (Micheal Garner) defines shamanism as a
technique of achieving an altered state of consciousness, which he calls
the "shamanic state of consciousness" or "ecstasy".
There are many techniques a shaman may use during a healing
session...from extraction, divination, spirit invocation, psycho pomp
and soul retrieval the shaman will travel in an altered state of
consciousness to determine the cause of the problem. Through ritual it
is the shaman's intent to restore wholeness to body, mind, spirit and
Soul. The shaman is the mediator between the realms to bring heaven
and earth, spirit and human-kind together.
Soul Retrieval
Soul retrieval is an ancient shamanic tradition that teaches that through
traumatic experience we split off to withdraw to a safe place. This
protects us from feeling the full brunt of the pain, and we thus learn to
survive. In soul retrieval the shaman will journey to mend the
fragmented self, helping others bring themselves back to their bodies,
the earth, and home again
Didgeridoo Sound Healing
The Didgeridoo is an ancient Aboriginal wind instrument that creates
powerful vibration which, when used by a skilled healer
can produce profound energetic shifts. The low frequencies have a
noticeable effect on living tissue and organs. Kerry has been practicing
this unique from of sound healing for over 15 years and has played the
didgeridoo in concert with David Darling, Joseph Firecrow and Nina
Hagen.
"As with image making, Aboriginal music also unites consciousness with the
invisible laws and energy patterns of nature. Aboriginal art is perhaps most
accurately described as a method for gaining knowledge of nature and its
invisible spirit.
Traditionally, an Aborigine would go into nature and listen intensely to the
animal sounds, not just voices but also the flapping of wings or the thump of
feet on the ground. The Aborigine would also listen to the sounds of wind,
thunder, trees and water running. Essences of all these sounds were played
with as much accuracy as possible within the droning sound of the didgeridoo.
The observation of nature immediately requires a state of empathy, which leads
to an imitative expression."

Return To The Sacred: A One-Day Workshop
In the Lakota tradition, the phrase "Mitakuye Oyasin" (we are all
related), acknowledges the sacred hoop formed by the earth, sky, plants,
animals and people. Although numerous spiritual traditions throughout
the world recognize this fundamental sacred truth, many of us have
forgotten our elemental connection to all that is, leaving us feeling
isolated and alone.
To return to the interconnection of all things,we must first open our
hearts and minds and we must be willing to let go of that which holds us
back from discovering or strengthening our intention for being on
beautiful Mother Earth. We then can begin to see the truth of our place
in the world...that we are all part of a single whole.
In this one-day workshop we will draw upon the power of ritual and
ceremony to explore the sacred and renew our profound connection as
part of the sacred hoop. During this one day, we will come together as
one tribe, one heart, and one mind. Through the experience of shamanic
meditation, trance healing song (icaros), and prayer... come retrieve
your vision and uncloud the vistas that have long been waiting for you.
