Shamanism, the path of direct-revelation & insight.
Shamanic Journey & Soul Retrieval
Shamanic journeying is a time-honored method for directly accessing your inner wisdom and insight. It is a safe, natural, drug-free method that allows you to experience a living connection with spirit.
During a Shamanic Journey session, I will introduce you to the core techniques of journeying that are rooted in ancient tradition yet fully accessible to the modern soul. I will drum, and guide you in a journey to connect with your helping spirits and receive the answers or healing you seek.
The wisdom you receive might come in the form of a symbolic message, an animal ally, a healing presence, or a clear action step. By exploring the meaning of what you’ve experienced and applying it to your life, the journey becomes more than a spiritual experience—it becomes a catalyst for real, lasting transformation.
Shamanism as a spiritual practice rooted in direct revelation, where we connect with the unseen realms for healing and guidance. It is about remembering that we are not separate from nature, but a living part of it.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
During a shamanic journey, as you listen to rhythmic drumming, you will be guided into a shamanic state of consciousness —a form of conscious dreaming— and journey beyond the ordinary world into the vast unseen realms to connect with and experience the the spirit world.
In this altered state of awareness, you can meet compassionate spiritual allies—spirit guides, power animals, teachers, and ancestors—who offer guidance, healing, and insight to support your life’s path.
These helping spirits come forward not to dictate your choices, but to empower you to remember your own inner strength, clarity, and wholeness.
-
Rather than relying on external authorities, shamanic practice encourages direct, personal experience. When you journey, you are accessing a different level of reality, one filled with wisdom and harmony, inhabited by compassionate spirits who wish to help you live in alignment with your soul’s purpose.
-
Like the shamans of ancient times, contemporary practitioners use rhythmic drumming or other steady, monotonous sounds to shift their brainwaves from beta (our everyday thinking state), through alpha (relaxed meditation), and into theta—the deeply receptive state where non-ordinary reality becomes accessible.
This safe, natural, drug-free method allows you to experience a living connection with spirit.
The more you journey, the more fluent you become in navigating these realms and trusting the guidance you receive. Real-world validation—testing the information in ordinary reality—is part of the process. Over time, the insights gained in journeying can bring real healing and clarity to your relationships, work, health, and spiritual life.on text goes here

Soul retrieval is a powerful and ancient shamanic healing practice used to restore wholeness and vitality after trauma, loss, or disconnection.
According to shamanic understanding when we experience emotional or physical trauma, a part of our soul may leave in order to survive the pain. This is called soul loss, and while it is a natural protective mechanism, it can lead to feelings of emptiness, depression, chronic illness, anxiety, or a sense of being "not fully here."
Soul loss can occur from events such as accidents, abuse, grief, surgery, addiction, divorce, or any situation that overwhelms our system. People often describe feeling “not the same” afterward, or like “a part of me is missing.”
In a soul retrieval session, the shamanic practitioner enters a deep meditative state (the shamanic state of consciousness) and journeys into the spirit world with the help of compassionate spirits. There, they locate and retrieve lost soul parts—those aspects of your essence that separated during a traumatic event—and bring them back to you with love, care, and ceremony.
-
Soul retrieval is not simply about healing the past—it is about bringing back the power, vitality, and gifts that were lost with the soul part.
Each soul part often returns with unique qualities: joy, confidence, creativity, strength, or playfulness—elements of your essential self that want to be reintegrated into your life now.
Following the return, integration is key. This means listening deeply to what each soul part needs to stay and thrive, and making any life changes that support the restored wholeness. The process is gentle, safe, and profoundly transformative.
Soul retrieval is not just about personal healing—it is about becoming fully embodied so that we can bring our light into the world and live the lives we came here to live.

In a world that often feels fragmented and disconnected, shamanism offers a return to sacred relationship—with the Earth, with spirit, and with our deepest selves. It is not a religion, but a methodology—a universal approach to healing and problem-solving that has been practiced by indigenous cultures for tens of thousands of years.
Traditional shamanic cultures understand that everything is alive: not only animals and plants, but also rivers, rocks, winds, and stars. This worldview fosters reverence and reciprocity with all beings. In today’s time of ecological and spiritual crisis, this perspective is not only healing—it is essential.
“The shamanic journey exceeded anything I thought it would be. I gained so much wisdom on how my limiting beliefs, inherent fears and actions derived from those fears, can all be transformed. It was a transformative and empowering experience.
Gina’s intuitive insights helped me to understand what the aspects of each direction shared with me. She has helped me to expand my exploration and creative play with the magic that surrounds us all. ”
“I am absolutely blown away. We went as a group of moms that have been dealing with their child’s life-threatening illness or disability. We are taking a four class session with Gina. All I can say that the transformation and the depth of emotional release and growth are something that I never thought possible.”
“This is a great way to explore yourself spirituality. The most helpful part for me was exercising my spiritual creativity and using that to expand and grow my awareness of myself and my environment.”
