calling is to work in partnership with the Helping Spirits, to help the living and

I am a shamanic practitioner in Glendale, Arizona. I have been working with my
spirits since the late 80's to help people and animals become well and whole. A
member of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies and The Society for Shamanic
Practitioners, I follow the path of core shamanism, using healing techniques that
are common to many cultures and compatible with our modern world. I have trained
with the Foundation in soul retrieval, power animal retrieval, death and dying,
divination and healing, and completed the Foundation's three year training program
in 2000. I work with people and with animals. Cats, dogs, horses, goats and
chickens have been recipients of my spirit allies' gracious healing power. |

Karen Furr: Spirit Drum
Spirit Drum is the heartchild of Karen, a former Franciscan Sister living in Kingman, Arizona.
For her there is no separation of the realities of seen and unseen, and her work as a healer is rooted in the belief that it is not what
we "do" that heals, but what we allow ourselves to become.
As a Shamanic healer and Reiki Master Teacher, Karen understands illness from perspective of loss of essential power.
As a former Catholic sister, she walks the path of the mystic and healer, seeking to integrate all the worlds for healing of self, community and
Earth. She is aware that it is in bringing Light into the world that healing and wholeness can happen. |

Carlisle Berquist: Vantage Quest
Vantage Quest helps access creativity that may astonish you. It works by stilling the
mind and allowing material to enter the field of awareness from the subconscious and
transpersonal realms of consciousness. Creating, whether in the arts and sciences,
personal growth and development, or the act of healing, is a dynamic oscillation
between our outer and inner worlds. An oscillation between normal consciousness and
expanded altered states. Like a shaman's journey, it is diving into the inner
formless unknown and returning with a gift to help repair our outer world. It is
receiving to give. Vantage Quest is a instrument for applied reverie in service of
your creative, meditative, and healing work. |

Donna Cooper: The Wildcast Bronze Sculpture Gallery
I believe creative expression is an inherent attribute available to each of us.
It requires believing in yourself, acquiring the necessary skills to do the work,
and finding your medium of expression -- whether that is writing, painting,
teaching, sculpting or working with people. |

revival of shamanism since 1961 when he chose to immerse himself in tribal spiritual
