About Shamanic Sessions

What to Expect During a Shamanic Session

I use the Harner Shamanic Counseling ® system which is very effective at personal problem solving. I am the teacher of the methodology. I counsel you to work with spirit. I am not a mental health professional.

Before we begin the sessions we will meet in person to discuss what to expect, answer questions and we will evaluate if this is the right fit for both parties. This meeting is at no charge to you. If we agree to proceed, we will meet for five (5) sessions where you will "journey" to access spiritual information. Journeying is similar to daydreaming, but it is a disciplined process.

Animal Guides

During the first 2 sessions you will journey to meet your animal guides. Animal guides are real teachers in non-ordinary reality.

In between all sessions, you may want to pay particular attention to your dreams for additional insight.

Spirit Guides

During the next three (3) sessions you will meet your spirit teacher and ask questions. Shamanism is not a religion, but is a way to practically problem solve by working with spirit. You are the spiritual authority. The process helps you to develop those skills.

The Sessions

Ideally we will meet each week for five (5) weeks. You should plan on up to 2 hours for each session. This allows you to ask questions that may have come up during the week, to "journey" and ask questions of your animal and spirit guides, typically 30 minutes, and to go over your experience and to ground back into reality.

The complete experience is enriched when you abstain from psychotropic drugs and alcohol.

Additional Requirements and Considerations

While you are journeying you will be listening to a drumming recording at the same time audibly describing your journey.

Required supplies

1 drumming CD or download to your phone

1 head phones or ear buds

1 recording device with pause function to record each journey

1 eye mask with head strap

1 steno pad

After you have completed this process, single follow up appointments are available as needed.
