Testimonials
I appreciated Laura’s clear and organized approach to teaching the skill of shamanic journeying. The PowerPoint slides were succinct, easy to understand, and helpful. Meeting in small groups to discuss our experiences provided good insights and was extremely helpful.
—Marjorie Leon, Introduction to Shamanic Journeying workshop participant
I was hoping to experience a spiritual tradition I’m completely unfamiliar with. I deeply believe in the benefit of the human capacity to get into altered states of consciousness and really appreciate the reminder that there have been shamanic practices in my own cultural heritage, way back when. I also appreciated Laura’s kind and gentle sharing of her wisdom and experience, and gentle and enthusiastic responding to questions. The explanations and slides were beautiful and clear.
—A. C., Introduction to Shamanic Journeying workshop participant
Laura’s workshop provided me a powerful new spiritual practice to assist me in discernment and spiritual growth. Laura is a gifted and compassionate teacher and led us thoughtfully through the steps of learning the practice of shamanic journeying. I was particularly grateful that she shared how to ethically engage this practice so as not to misappropriate the sacred shamanic practices of other cultures. During my journeys I had unexpected and moving insights and experiences that are continuing to inform and enrich my life. I look forward to incorporating this practice into my spiritual life and taking more of Laura's workshops!
