  • Initiation Into Reindeer Shamanism

    Initiation Into Reindeer Shamanism

    From my journal: 12/7/22, 4:40 PM, full moon. For the full moon, I did a ritual to dedicate my shamanic work and healing to the spirit of Reindeer.

  • Shamanic Dedication

    Shamanic Dedication

    From my journal: 11/26/22, 7:30 PM, waxing crescent moon. I journeyed tonight to seek out my grandfather and let him know I’m ready to step onto the path that he has helped me find. I appeared as a young-ish teen when I spoke with him to tell him my intention. He seemed both pleased and…

    Reflexology Now Part of Inkwood’s Offerings

    I’m excited to announce that I have added reflexology to my energy healing sessions. While not technically energy healing (reflexology directly engages the nervous system through specific pressure points), reflexology affects the same energetic systems that energy medicine focuses on, and like Reiki can be used to focus on specific sources of pain, illness, or…
