Learn the Luminous Ancient & Contemporary Tools of the 21st Century Healer-Shaman
Awakened Heart Shamanism Masterclass 2
Is it time to answer the call of your heart to become the healer you know you are meant to be?
Do you want feel called to support & help others in need?
Do you have wisdom to share from your own spiritual study & healing journey?
Are you wanting to learn shamanic energy healing or have you already studied other modalities, like Reiki,
and want to add to & deepen them?
I have been a shamanic energy healer for 2 decades
& have developed an innovative method working with somatic energy medicine, chakra & Light Body clearing & other powerful tools called
Shamanic Somatic-Emotional Energy Transformation (SSEET).
Shamanic tools such as rattles, feathers, bells, sacred smoke, sacred songs, a medicine bundle (mesa), and hands on contact, can dramatically shift heavy inner and outer patterns and emotions, conflict in relationships, unhealed personal and ancestral trauma, and stubborn blocks to thriving in relationships, love, work/career, creative endeavors, finances, and health. Learn how to counsel clients with tools like energy tracking, reading signs, psychodrama, and soul-informed self-inquiry and exploration.
Though SSEET is not a medical, clinical approach, and cannot replace them, it supports clients in moving towards their overall goals. It is also trauma-informed.
A pre-requisite to apply to enter the program
is having a mesa either through
Walk with Great Spirit on the Path of
Awakened Heart Shamanism Masterclass 1,
or through another teacher.
The next training begins with the first of five 3-day weekend workshops on October 3-5, 2025.
The following dates in 2025-26 are:
November 14-16, December 12-14, January 23-25, February 27-29, May 8-May 10.

SSEET is one of the most powerful, trauma-informed, multidimensional, somatic-energetic modalities on the planet for supporting clients in healing personal and ancestral trauma and breaking through blocks to abundance in love, relationships, creativity, work, career, and wellbeing.
Masterclass 2 is the SSEET Training Program of the Awakened Heart Shamanism path. It consists of lectures, demonstrations, and practice in an intensive 5-workshop series. It is rich in knowledge and wisdom about how to heal others by harnessing the Natural Pathways of Transformation available to us through a deep relationship to Mother Earth, Great Cosmic Beings of Light, and the Cosmic Crystalline Matrix of Reality.
I developed SSEET as an ntegration of ancient and contemporary methods and approaches, some learned from my indigenous and western shamanic teachers and others, as well as out of my 30 years of academic research and teaching on trauma, violence, healing, and spirituality.

"I am here to call forth those whose soul's purpose is to help others in need with their medicine gifts."
My training as a healer began in my early 20s when I got into therapy to address problems I was having in relationships, first with my troubled mother and in romantic relationships. Eventually, my interest in human psychology grew as I completed an MA in Soviet Studies and a PhD in Slavic languages and literatures and then launched my career as a university administrator and professor. I used my skills as an academic researcher to find answers to 3 important and what turned out to be interrelated questions:
What were the causes and diagnoses that explained my mother's chaotic and difficult life and effect on me? Why were humans caught in repeating cycles of violence? How is individual and collective trauma related?
I then discovered energy healing at the age of 33. This started a new level of "training" when, in sessions under the hands of healers, and in meditation, I learned how to transmute my personal physical, mental and emotional pain through a somatic (body-based), energetic and imaginal (seeing with inner sight) process. At the same time, I met my first Native American teacher and discovered a body of ancient, powerful energy healing techniques that had existed long before the emergence of western medicine.
So it was that I studied shamanic energy healing starting at the age of 46 in the Four Winds Healing the Light Body School. I continued my studies with the Q'ero medicine people of Peru, descendants of the ancient Inca.
By the time I was in my mid-40s, I knew without a doubt that I was a healer. I also knew that if I didn't step up to manifest this healing medicine in service of others, I would fulfill my soul's mission and purpose. I left my tenured academic job at the University of Virginia to become a healer.
I then parlayed all the processes and tools, from psychotherapeutic to somatic to energy medicine that I had learned. I call my method Shamanic Somatic-Emotional Energy Transformation.
SSEET is 21st century shamanic healing incorporating ancient and contemporary wisdom about body, mind, soul and spirit.
