What is (Core) Shamanism and What Does it Do?
A basic explanation of Core Shamanism Before jumping into the fray, it’s a good idea to understand shamanic healing and what it strives to do.
Much of the information that comes to us through shamanic healing reveals how the spirits see us, but soul remembering reveals how we view our own purpose, and for that reason, it is terribly powerful in its ability to empower our healing.
A soul remembering session reveals your soul’s true purpose. This is a powerful and often a profoundly moving session that helps you to make sense of the forces and desires that drive you, and connect you to those spirits that are supporting you on your journey.
On your behalf, I will journey into the Otherworld, back in time, to meet with your soul in those moments before you were born. I will ask it to see your soul’s true purpose. How that purpose is revealed to me varies, but most often I will be shown a symbol of your purpose here on earth, for this lifetime, although sometimes I’m shown your purpose over many lifetimes.
Soul remembering provides clarity, validation and meaning, and these things can, in turn, fuel confidence and self-empowerment. I see these as essential building blocks for self-healing.
Once I discover your soul purpose, I will return that energy back to your physical body so that you may be empowered with the energy of your purpose.

How do I deal with cynicism about shamanism? I’m often asked how I deal with people who challenge what I do, or don’t believe in it, and the truth is that it doesn’t often faze me. In fact, a lot of people in my circle, both family and friends, don’t consider themselves remotely spiritual.…
