Shamanic Philosophy
People in nature-based cultures have practiced shamanism in various forms for thousands of years, all over the world. Today, when we are more disconnected from the natural world than at any other time in human history, many modern, Western people are rediscovering the value of shamanic practices. The foundational tenets of my practice are:
Animals, trees, rivers, mountains, and other elements of nature are our brothers and sisters. If we seek to free ourselves from cultures of domination, oppression, and power over, we must re-learn this sacred reciprocity with each other and the natural world.
Every one of us has Helping Spirits. These Helping Spirits can appear to us as animals (often referred to as Power Animals), human ancestors or teachers (Ancestral Teachers), or even plants and elements of Nature such as trees, mountains, lakes, stars, and the Earth Mother herself (often known as Guardians). All of these Helping Spirits can provide life-changing support, guidance and healing -- if only we can remember how to listen.
Shamanic Healing
The services I offer are centered on the shamanic Journey. In a shamanic Journey, we contact Helping Spirits on your behalf and request their support and guidance.
Helping Spirits can provide deeply transformational experiences. They can:
Provide you with support and guidance on a life challenge;
Help you to free yourself from ways of life or identities that are no longer working;
Support you to discover and live your life’s purpose;
Reconnect you with an important part of yourself that has fled (soul retrieval);
Help you to develop/deepen your spirituality and spiritual connection with nature;
Help you to live in harmony with nature in times of great environmental distress;
Support you to weather the unpredictable vicissitudes of life and live with deep joy.
Schedule a Free Phone Consultation
I offer distance shamanic sessions via telephone, and in-person sessions where the mountains meet the desert in Mancos and Cortez, CO. If you are interested in doing some work with me, the next step is to schedule a phone consultation to see if we are a good fit for each other (there is no charge for this service). You may reach me at kris@cedartreehealing.org, or click here to send me a message to schedule your consult.
By Phone? Really?
Because we connect with Helping Spirits through our hearts and “inner vision” rather than outer vision, nothing is lost when Journeying by phone. Indeed, many of my clients are surprised to discover that Journeying by phone can actually be freeing - they learn that they can access their Helping Spirits in their own home - that there is no special magic in my office space!.
Options & Pricing
Shamanic sessions generally last about an hour, and sometimes go a bit longer.
Introductory Shamanic Journey
New clients start with an introductory session, which is $175. After you have completed your Introductory Shamanic Journey, you may choose from the following options:
Ongoing Shamanic Exploration - weekly or every other week
Once you have completed your first shamanic Journey with me, you may wish to engage in long term, intensive work. As stated above, regular/intensive work together can be helpful if you wish to address significant, persistent life challenges, explore shamanism as a spiritual path, and/or learn how to Journey on your own. Individual shamanic Journeys as part of a weekly or biweekly commitment are $150 each, with a sliding scale available down to $135 each.*
Ongoing Shamanic Exploration - as our schedules permit
Once you have completed your first shamanic Journey with me, you may wish to engage in additional shamanic Journeying, but either due to your schedule or mine, we cannot manage to meet weekly or biweekly. Or, perhaps you prefer to schedule individual sessions, as life challenges arise. If we deem this approach is a good fit, we will schedule individual Shamanic Journeys as possible/desired. Individual Journeys are $150 each.
Next Steps
The next step is to schedule a free telephone consultation. In this conversation, we'll talk about what you're looking for, you'll have a chance to ask me any questions you might have, and in general determine if we are a good fit for each other.
