Shamanism
Shamans have been present in most native cultures throughout history in the capacity of healer and guide, responsible for the overall welfare of the group. A Shaman is one who is able to access needed information and perform healing rites through entering into a trance state and invoking animal allies and spirit guides to facilitate healing. The altered state is induced through drumming, chanting, prayer and offerings to the spirits.
The practice of modern shamanism is derived from these ancient traditions, concerning itself with "dis-ease" of the soul, such as power of "soul loss", manifesting in depression, anxiety and a host of physical challenges. Shamanism encompasses the realm of the natural elements and facilitates healing through practices that have been in existence for thousands of years.

FOUNDATION FOR SPIRITIUAL EMERGENCE
The pure elements of the earth and the pure essence of the divine are in conflict in human beings. With comprehensive healing for the individual, we work both at the human and the divine levels of energy that surround the human body. Much of our work is at the human level where the healer is the active instrument. We have found this is highly effective in clearing away the dense energetic emotional debris that prevents progress. At the divine level, the healer is sometimes overshadowed or closely directed by spiritual guides. Healing work becomes very powerful when it is done at both human and divine levels.
