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 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.
Every one of us has Spirit Helpers. Spirit Helpers take the form of an animal or other element of nature, and can provide life-changing support, guidance and healing -- if only we learn how to listen.
Shamanic Healing
The services I offer are centered on the shamanic Journey. In a shamanic Journey, we contact Spirit Helpers on your behalf and request their support and guidance.
Spirit Helpers can create 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 (970) 403-5018, email me at kris@cedartreehealing.org, or click here to send me a message to schedule your consult.
By Phone? Really?
Because connecting with Spirit Helpers relies on inner vision rather than outer vision, my experience has taught me that nothing is lost when Journeying by phone rather than in person. Indeed, many of my clients are surprised to discover that Journeying by phone can actually be freeing - they can access their Helpers in their own home! I'm happy to talk more about this with you if you like.
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 $150. After you have completed your Introductory Shamanic Journey, you may choose from the following options:
Shamanic Package - A Deeper Dive - 4 Weekly or Biweekly Sessions
Once you have completed your Introductory Shamanic Journey with me, you can opt to take a deeper dive. Intensive work 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. The price for a package of four sessions is $600, with the option to slide down to $480 based on financial need.* Prior to purchasing this package, please contact me to schedule your sessions.
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, regular 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 $150 each, with a sliding scale available down to $120 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, with the option to slide down to $135 based on financial need.*
*Sliding Scale: What is it and how does it work?
You will notice that once you have completed your Introductory Shamanic Journey and are ready to commit to a package of sessions or ongoing, regularly scheduled shamanic work, I offer a sliding scale. This is because I am passionate about shamanic work and want to make it as accessible as possible to people with diverse financial means. If the full price for shamanic sessions would impose financial hardship - meaning that you would be unable to pay your bills for basic living expenses (groceries, rent/mortgage, health insurance, etc.) - then I strongly encourage you to choose the payment level that will offer relief. I will not ask you for details concerning your decision. That said, here is what the sliding scale is not: it is not a sale, or a way to get more ‘bang for your buck,’ as the saying goes. This is my attempt to meet the needs of as diverse a group of people as I can, and still meet my own as well. If you are able to pay the full price without financial hardship, then please do so.
