Southwest Shamanic Connection, LLC

Welcome!
This group has been founded to create a spiritually like-minded, sacred space that honors the soul of all, human and more-than-human. I offer accessible* shamanic drum & journey circles, free healing circles, introductory classes, and advanced trainings with a thorough application process. You can also contact me for 1-1 healing sessions (for people, animals, places, and businesses) by visiting my website, www.medicinewalker.com. I am available in-person in Santa Fe, New Mexico, as well as internationally via Zoom.

*Scholarships are available for those in need — while I have to pay bills just like everyone else, I don’t want money to interfere with people receiving the help and community they need.

Policies

1. RSVP Yes to events you wish to attend. If it turns out you cannot make it, please be sure to RSVP No as soon as possible.
2. When attending online events, ideally your camera is turned on.
3. Please try to be on time. If you are more than 5 minutes late, you will likely not be allowed to join the meeting unless I’ve heard from you.
4. A recommended donation is listed on all events not titled as FREE. I leave this open so that for folks who can’t afford it, there is no pressure to pay above their means for any reason, but payment is expected to cover event costs, admin time, preparation, etc.
5. Respectful behavior is non-negotiable. Anyone who attends and is disrespectful to other members or the host will be removed and banned.

About Ash
I have been studying shamanism since 2016, and graduated from Sandra Ingerman's final Advanced Shamanic Practitioner Training in 2024. I am creating this group to invite others to join me in ceremony, healing, and connection with the compassionate, helping Spirits.

My background before pursuing healing work included a master's in music performance (2010) and a dual bachelor's in music education and performance (2008). I also graduated with a master's in the Science of Animal Behavior (2023), specializing in canine, feline, and equine. I have been a music teacher since 2002, and a dog trainer since 2008. I didn't realize until a few years ago that I had followed paths of therapeutic influence, music & animals, without even knowing it. This professional history greatly influences and benefits my healing work, both for humans and the more-than-human -- animals & nature.

Sampling of services I offer:

1. customized shamanic healing in my Scandinavian teachers’ tradition
2. divination journeys for perspective, insight, and advice
3. energy work — restoration & flow, recognizing inner power sources
4. medicine walks to meet living allies in Nature
5. soul retrieval after trauma
6. extraction of energetic intrusions
7. transfiguration through musical toning and emanating inner light
8. medicine for the earth and transmuting negativity
9. power animal retrievals for personal empowerment and healing integration
10. spark of life retrievals to rebalance and return to the natural flow in the river of life
11. soul-level diagnostic work through my compassionate, helping Spirits

Spirit healing is one part of a triad for healing. This work does not serve to replace medical care, licensed therapy, or other medically necessary medications & procedures, but rather supports and deepens the process.
