A shaman is a person specially trained to interact with both the normal world and the world of spirits, usually as an intermediary between the two.  According to believers, they can treat illness and are capable of entering supernatural realms to obtain answers to the problems of their community. A shaman is traditionally responsible for both the physical and spiritual health of their tribe. It is a position of honor, responsibility and respect.

Christel's trips to Peru included spending time with Shamans and training to facilitate shamanic journeys for others. It is rare for Peruvian Shamans to train outsiders or to pass Shamanic information on to others who are not members of their tribe. Christel's gift was recognized by those trained in communication with the other world and she was taught by the best.

A person who goes on a shamanic  journey ventures in to the spirit world to bring back information, aid or a power animal for the person being journeyed for. The answers that come as a result of a shamanic journey are creative, powerful and can fill in missing pieces in a person's spirit. Often these are parts of the self that were sequestered away during times of great loss, trauma or betrayal.

As a mystic and clairvoyant, Christel is uniquely qualified to train you to take a shamanic journey for another person.

During Christel's  retreats, shamanic journeys frequently take place on Saturday night. Participants are paired up with someone who is a good energetic match for them and are carefully instructed in how to stay safe. Shamanic journeys restore a person to a state of wholeness that can come only from the help of another who is able to retrieve that information for them. We have heard many, many miraculous stories of healing from the shamanic journeys that have occurred during our retreats.

Under Christel's guidance, participants listen to drumming to enter in to an altered state of consciousness and then follow the instructions for entering in to the spirit world safely and then returning when the time ends. Even people who are convinced they absolutely cannot journey for another are astounded at the meaning of what they have brought back for their partner.

Shamanic Journeys only happen in retreats under Christel's supervision. If you want to participate in a shamanic Journey, please join us at an event.
