Shamanic Healing

A huge thank you to Leo McElroy and Deb Stanitz for traveling down to Talbot county to work with me this weekend. I received very  intense bodywork and profound Shamanic healing. We finished the weekend with the most beautiful "despacho", a prayer bundle. It reminded me of a Tibetan mandala but it wasn't symmetrical or organized, it is
more of a free form, yet artfully placed flowers, seeds, herbs, salt, objects, and more, it was visually stunning. Then Leo & Deb performed a ritual, imbuing it with healing intentions.



Shamanism is an ancient healing tradition and a way of life. The teachings of shamanism focus on our connection to nature and promote the well-being of all creation.

Essential aspects of shamanic life include journeying, ceremony, sacred dance and reconnecting in nature. Through these techniques the shamanic circle embraces us, unifying our lives with strength, healing and love.
A Shaman is an intermediary between this world and the spirit world. They act on behalf of the community; conducting ceremonial rituals, healing the people.
