Introduction to Shamanism:

Throughout time, Shamanism has been a way of life teaching us to walk in both worlds, combining earthly traditions and spiritual practices to promote balance.   Shamanic Journeying is a way to access information and healing for ourselves and our communities for the betterment of the Earth and her people. It expands our own knowledge and opens a Sacred Space within which invites Spirit to teach us and help us "remember" the Journey of Our Soul.

Shamanic journeying is the process of moving into an altered state of consciousness, 'non ordinary reality', to receive divine guidance, access information, experience healings on many levels, deepen our connection to Spirit as well as facilitate healing experiences for others. By bringing the teachings of Shamanism into our daily lives we can more fully experience our own divinity and connection to the web of life and 'mirror' divinity and beauty within us out to the world.

Donna has a passion for words and the dispelling of beliefs, which rule our life and our relationships, based on painful experiences rather than facts. For the past 16 years she has honored the 'Inner Healer' within each individual, Donna believes the release of emotional pain and limiting beliefs frees us from our fears, uncomfortable life patterns and creates opportunity to manifest the life we choose!

In 1992, Donna was introduced to Shamanism, which brought understanding to a lifetime of experiences and began a passion to bring the ancient universal knowledge into today. Over the years she has studied with many teachers, her greatest being Spirit. "Shamanism is a phenomenal spiritual practice that has been a blessing in my life for many years. During my 14 years as a Shamanic Practitioner and 8 years as a Teacher, I have had the honor of witnessing healing for countless individuals and watched people's lives awaken to new levels of consciousness, many times greater than they ever thought possible. I believe that Shamanic Practitioners offer services that work on immeasurable levels of our being and can assess information and healing that is changing our world." In 2003, Donna developed the ground-breaking Clearing the Path Shamanic process.

Donna is delighted to be teaching at Insight Awareness and will be offering Shamanic and Personal Growth Workshops.
