"The inner art of traveling to the 'invisible worlds' beyond ordinary reality to retrieve information for change in any area of your life—from spirituality and health to work and relationships" - Sandra Ingerman

Shamanic Journeys

A Shamanic Journey is a meditative practice in which a person enters an altered state of consciousness to access what is often called non-ordinary reality. In many indigenous and shamanic traditions, this practice is a sacred way of connecting with spiritual realms, receiving guidance, healing, and insight.
 

In contemporary or "new-age" shamanic language, this process is sometimes referred to as “riding the drum-horse.” The steady rhythm of a drum or rattle acts as a vehicle, helping the practitioner shift into a trance-like state known as ecstasy. This trance is not escapism; it is a purposeful and guided exploration of the unseen worlds.
 

A seasoned Shaman or Journeyer learns to navigate these realms with skill and respect. These inner landscapes are home to allies, guides, ancestral spirits, power animals, and sources of wisdom or healing. One of the most important aspects of the shamanic journey is the potential for soul retrieval—a process in which the practitioner brings back lost soul fragments that may have split off due to trauma or life challenges.

Because the unseen realms are vast and can sometimes present in unusual ways, it is wise to work with an experienced guide or practitioner—someone skilled in drumming, holding sacred space, and maintaining connection with trusted spiritual allies. An experienced shaman ensures that the journey is conducted safely, with the right protocols of respect, honour, and gratitude toward the helping spirits that appear.


You can learn these skills for yourself, however it is invaluable to have led-experiences, until you learn to become familiar with your own drum and the landscapes of these other realms, so that you can also navigate them with the same level of respect and integrity.
 

A Shamanic Journey is an ancient practice of entering an altered state of consciousness to access non-ordinary reality—the unseen realms beyond the physical world. Using the steady rhythm of a drum or rattle, we shift into a sacred space where healing, insight, and transformation become possible.

​

In this ceremonial space, we meet with Power Animals, Spirit Allies, Ancestors, and other compassionate beings who step forward to support us. These allies often appear in the form of animals, bringing qualities, strengths, and guidance that are aligned with what you need at this moment in your life. A Power Animal may stay with you for a specific period, helping you through particular challenges or offering support during a transition.

Journey to the Lower World: Reclaiming Your Soul Gifts

The Lower World is a landscape of life, healing, and vitality. It is sometimes described as a return to Eden—a place of wholeness and balance. In this journey, I will guide you through this sacred terrain to:

  • Find and retrieve your Power Animal

  • Discover a Soul Gift—an inner resource or ability meant to help you at this time

  • Recover a Soul Part—a fragment of yourself that may have stepped away due to trauma, grief, or life challenges
     

By reclaiming these parts of yourself, you are welcoming home your own vitality, joy, and strength. I will support you in fully embodying these gifts so they can assist in your healing and transformation.
 

Journey to the Upper World: Wisdom from the Ancestors

The Upper World is the realm of Spiritual Guides, Ancestors, and Light Beings who transcend time and space. Here, you can:

  • Receive guidance from enlightened beings

  • Connect with a Spirit Animal or Spirit Teacher

  • Retrieve a higher timeline or destiny path
    ​

This journey can provide profound clarity, healing, and teachings that ripple into your everyday life. As your guide, I will hold space for you to integrate these encounters with grace and grounded support.

Infinite Possibilities for Exploration

​

The landscapes of the Lower, Middle, and Upper Worlds hold countless possibilities. Each journey is unique and can be intuitively guided, unfolding in ways that go beyond set expectations or examples. Whether you are called to meet guides, receive healing, explore past lives, gather wisdom, or simply be present in the mystery, the journey will respond to your soul’s needs in the moment. There is no limit to what can be explored in these sacred spaces, and you are welcome to arrive with curiosity and openness.

​

A Safe and Sacred Container

There are many reasons to embark on a Shamanic Journey. Whether you are seeking healing, insight, soul retrieval, or simply an extraordinary experience, the journey will be crafted specifically for you.

Before your session, we will meet to clarify your intention—whether you come with something specific in mind or prefer to explore together what is most aligned for you.
