What we’re about
Did you know that shamanism has been practiced in every culture around the world for 50,000+ years? Would you like to explore, establish, or dive deeper into the shamanic practices that are your birth right to access, while respecting cultural boundaries?
If so this group is for you!
MY MISSION FOR THIS GROUP:
1. Empower, encourage & support anyone interested in accessing shamanism to do so with the highest integrity.
2. Share shamanic practices for self-healing and personal development in an ethical way, while respecting cultural boundaries.
3. To hold space for folks that deeply respect the necessity to practice shamanism within the container that they are trained, experienced, and prepared for.
4. Create a safe space to utilize shamanic practices from a place of pure heart & intention, while nurturing new friendships with like-minded community.
5. Share shamanic practices with you that you can use for your personal healing & development. (You will not learn methods to use on other people in this group. If you are seeking that, I can refer you to teachers that specialize in that type of offering.)
In that vein, this space is NOT for those wishing to:
7. Take shortcuts by offering services either inside or outside of this group without proper training, practice and relationship with your shamanic tools & spirit guides.
8. Use this space as a networking opportunity, or a place to find people to date. YES, relationships will develop organically, but DO NOT come with the intention of promoting your business or finding a romantic partner.
AS A FACILITATOR, I PROMISE TO:
- Only utilize and share practices that were intended to be accessed by me, and hold others in the group to that same bar in a gentle but direct way.
- Empower you by sharing ideas and ways to connect with, and develop, YOUR shamanic practices.
- Hold a safe & healing space while enforcing boundaries if needed. This means that I reserve the right to discreetly require a member to leave the group if they are not honoring the mission of it.
LASTLY..
We will not utilizing plant medicines. Please do NOT come to a gathering under the influence of any plant medicine, mind altering substance, or recreational drugs.
ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Jessica. I've been practicing shamanism since 2011. I've received 100's of hours of training in Core & Peruvian shamanism, and I've logged 100+ hrs of pro-bono work under the tutelage of my shamanic teacher before opening my private practice. You can learn more about my shamanic philosophy here.
I promise to hold impeccable space, and bring you the highest level of service during these ceremonies. I will NOT use our time together to sell services, upgrades, etc.

A GUIDED HEALING SHAMANIC JOURNEY IS...
Shamanic journeying is an active practice, similar to but distinct from meditation. I’ll guide you through the journey with the quick beat a hoop drum, which has been proven to induce a theta brainwave state. Theta waves are found in meditation and deep sleep, opening the door to vivid dreams, heightened intuition, creativity, and expanded consciousness. This state helps rewire neural connections and reconnects us with our true essence. The theta state is often referred to as the "flow state."
Journeying connects us with our spiritual support- you may know that energy as spirit guides, power animals, Universe, Spirit, God, Oneness, Higher Self, etc. Through journeying, we receive wisdom, guidance, and healing for personal growth.
Journeys can be peaceful and uplifting, or they may challenge you to confront areas of growth. Shamanic journeying can be a powerful tool to intentionally transform your life.
Journeys can be highly metaphorical, and while they often bring clarity, empowerment and peace, sometimes the teachings can be intense. What’s important to remember is that when you step into a journey space with me, you are held in a safe, clean container, so you are always safe, in control, and supported by Divine energy that has your highest and best good at heart.
Afterward, you’ll have time to write about your experience, share, and ask questions. I’ll also share resources for further exploration of your journey and shamanic practice, as well as integration tips and how to work with power animals, should one come to you during your journey.
AFTER THE JOURNEY...
We’ll connect over a potluck and creative projects, should you choose to bring a project to work on. Things like journaling, writing, sketching, coloring, etc can be a fun way to process and explore your journey on a deeper level.
BRING
- Journal and pen
- If you want to join the potluck, please bring a dish to share
- Optional: yoga mat and/or blanket to lay on the floor to journey
- Optional: an eye covering (this can be helpful for blocking out light as we journey)
- Optional: Creative project of your choosing
KIDS
Kids as young as 5 have journeyed with us several times. If you’re not sure how your child will respond, please grab a spot near the door in case you need to exit early. In this case, you’re welcome to hang out and wait for the group to join you in the dining area until the journey wraps up.
CREATING SACRED SPACE
In the spirit of fostering authentic connection and honoring this sacred space:
- Please do no promote your business, disperse flyers, etc, as doing so can create doubt and confusion regarding your intentions for stepping into this space with us.
- Please keep what’s shared in our circle confidential.
- No politics please. This allows us to fully honor the gift of time and space that we have to share our spiritual experiences and ideas and to connect on a deeper, more vulnerable level.
- Avoid recreational use of substances the day of our gathering. For your own spiritual development, refraining from substances for 24 hours prior, and after, is also recommended.
