"Why Shamanism Now?" with Christina Pratt

The Initiation Series: Michael Dunning

Shaman-healer, Michael Dunning is our guest this week in our Initiation Series: Curing our Cultural Sickness. He joins us to discuss his exceptional initiation experiences with a Yew tree in Scotland and how they transformed him.

It is our hope that in hearing the stories of a diverse range of contemporary initiation experiences-that have functioned to truly transform individuals into shamans-that we will come to remember what initiation truly means.

Michael gradually became aware of his calling as a shaman-healer following a near -death encounter with an elemental spirit in the far north of Scotland. A second near-death experience occurred several years later that entirely destroyed his health. Michael began to experience regular visions, prolonged out - of - body states and intense physical pain. Managing his daily life became a great challenge. He was finally rescued by a friend who lived in a small cottage close to a 2000 year-old, female yew tree. This marked the beginning of a ten-year period of healing and a shamanic initiation through nature, which took place under the vast enclosure of the tree. Michael now teaches Yewshamanism throughout New England where he is a biodynamic craniosacral therapist and teacher.

Awakenings with Michele Meiche

Healing the Karmic Wounds with Astrologer Alice Loffredo

Twenty-five years ago, Alice Loffredo left a successful career as a systems manager for a major insurance company to follow the calling of her own birth chart and become an astrologer. She has written a regular astrology column for a local publication and authored three books, including the recently published “Healing the Karmic Wounds: Pluto and Chiron.” Her extensive studies with evolutionary astrologer Steven Forrest most strongly shape her perspective. Alice focuses on how we can release the potentials over the lifetimes that constitute the evolutionary journey of the soul. www.AstrologyKarmaAndYou.com
