Sandra Ingerman will be my guest this Friday. She has written many books on Shamanism, and is probably best known for "Soul Retrieval", and "Medicine For The Earth". She teaches workshops internationally on Shamanic Journeying, Healing, and reversing environmental pollution using spiritual methods. She has trained and founded an international alliance of Medicine For The Earth Teachers and Healers. She is also a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and Mental Health Counselor, as well as being certified in acute traumatic stress management.

My guest this week is MALIDOMA SOME, a West African Elder, author, teacher, diviner, and healer. His life path has been difficult to say the least; from being born in an obscure village in West Africa; kidnapped at age 4 by a Jesuit Priest and sent away to be schooled in Christianity; escaping at age 20 to return to his homeland; having to learn his native language again; being trained to be a shaman; then on to higher education to earn three Masters Degrees and two doctorates at the Sorbonne and Brandeis University; and finally to teach at the University of Michigan.

Robert Moss describes himself as a dream teacher, on a path for which there has been no career track in our culture. He is the creator of Active Dreaming, an original synthesis of dreamwork and shamanism. Born in Australia, he survived three near-death experiences in childhood. He leads popular seminars all over the world, including a three-year training for teachers of Active Dreaming. A former lecturer in ancient history at the Australian National University, he is a best-selling novelist, journalist and independent scholar.

MICHAEL DUNNING is known as the Yew Shaman. He was born in Glasgow, Scotland, had a series of encounters with Elemental Spirits and near death experiences which led to visions, out of body and altered states of consciousness, as well as intense physical pain. His health was completely destroyed, but an encounter and long nine year apprenticeship with an ancient Yew Tree healed him, and taught and initiated him into the way of a Shaman. He now resides in the United States where he practices Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and teaches the wisdom of the Yew Tree.

This week, Caroline discusses some of the areas of Shamanism that have not yet been talked about on this show - Good vs Evil, problems with dark spirits and demons, and dismemberment. Lions, and tigers, and bears, oh my! While Shamanism is an amazing healing modality, the Shaman must also deal with some very real and very serious entities and dangerous disease intrusions. It requires training and practice, the ability to focus and concentrate for extended periods of out of body journey work, and powerful allies in the Spirit worlds.

WABUN WIND joins Caroline to discuss allopathic medicine, wholistic medicine, and traditional Shamanic practices.

DENEAN, singer/songwriter and passionate lover of Mother Earth and all our relations shares her amazing music and philosophy with us. She spent years working with top country music artists in Nashville, then joined a production company in Colorado to produce her signature album, "Fire Prayer". Since then, she has formed her own production company, and won the 2000 New Mexico "Mic" award as best producer.

LUISA KOLKER, licensed psychotherapist and Shamanic Healer, lives in SANTA FE, NM. Although she was born into a long line of doctors and psychiatrist, she came to understand that there is more to healing than just working with the physical body and mind. She was born with strong psychic gifts which were frowned upon and discouraged by her psychiatrist father, but upon reaching adulthood, Spirit led her to people and places that not only recognized her gifts, but helped her to develop and learn how to use them to help others.

Sound Healing is an effective and proven modality. Sound is a type of energy medicine that uses vibrational sound to help reduce stress, alter consciousness and create a deep sense of peace, well being and better health. Through the current flourishing of research in the field, today the ancient art of sound healing is rapidly developing into a new and honored science. Today my guest are Regina Murphy and Richard Plunkett from The secrets of sound therapy will be discussing the benefits of this therapy and how it works.

Art as a spiritual path can help us knit together the ideals and convictions that guide our lives. It is about allowing Universal God-Source to express through us, and to bring out the artist in each of us! Today my guest Leah Young creator of Soul Articulation will share with us her vision of what Soul Art is, and how it can help us manifest the life we want!
