Preparing to Journey: Finding Your Compass
How to Prepare for Shamanic Journeying This month’s Full Moon arrives at Imbolc - a time of year that naturally invites pause. Although the days are still dark, there is a subtle sense of something beginning to stir beneath the surface. In this blog series so far, I’ve been exploring shamanic practice step by step: What Is Shamanism? , The Shamanic Journey , and the role of the Shamanic Drum in shifting consciousness and bringing us back into the body. This reflection comes

The Shamanic Drum: A Bridge Between Worlds
I’m writing this at the first full moon of the year. Each month, at the full moon, I return to this space to write - it offers me a chance to pause, take stock and begin again. That feels especially fitting at this time of year, when many people are naturally reflecting on where they’ve been and where they are now. Rather than looking ahead or setting intentions, I want to begin by coming back into rhythm. That’s why this feels like a good moment to talk about the shamanic d

The Shamanic Journey: Remembering an Ancient Language
Shamanic journeying is one of the oldest forms of spiritual practice known to humankind. Across continents and cultures, our ancestors used rhythmic sound to enter an expanded state of consciousness and connect with the unseen world. They journeyed to seek guidance, to heal, and to restore balance between the physical and spiritual realms.

What Is Shamanism? Understanding an Ancient Practice for Modern Life
A reflection for this season of deepening darkness — a time for intuition, inner work and remembering the old ways. Shamanism isn’t a belief but a lived relationship with the animate world. Through rhythm, ceremony and guidance from compassionate allies, it helps us restore balance, heal, and remember our place within nature’s web — returning us to what is real, sacred and alive within and around us.

New Hearth: New Website, Same Heart
Today I’m opening the door to something that’s been quietly taking shape for a long time - a new website and a new home for my work. It’s a space that gathers together all the threads of the work that I offer, weaving them into one place. September's Full Moon Circle: Candlelight on Wood To me, the website feels like entering a cottage on the edge of a forest and sitting by the cosy hearth: a place of warmth and stillness, soft candlelight on wood. It’s a place to welcome you

Feeding the Hungry Ghosts: Reflections on Segaki
Each autumn, as the light begins to wane and the trees work their magic turning the leaves all sorts of beautiful colours, I always feel something ancient stirring beneath the surface of the land. Across different cultures, there's a shared belief that at this time of year the veil between worlds grows thin, and it is a time when we are invited to honour both the living and the dead, the seen and the unseen. Last year, in honour of my sister, Aileen, and just a few weeks aft

Choosing a Spiritual Practitioner That’s Right For You
In a world where spiritual language is everywhere – from “energy healing” to “ancestral work”, it can feel confusing to know who to trust. Over the years, through my own training, mistakes, and guidance from teachers, I’ve gathered some reflections on what integrity looks like in this work. I offer them here not as fixed rules, but as questions and touchstones you might find useful on your own path. Many Ways of Knowing The question of who we can trust in a world filled wit
