Shamanic work can take a lot of energy and requires not only energetic stamina, but also physical resilience and endurance. When in Shamanic trance, practicing incorporation mediumship, or holding ceremony for 10 hours, your body has specific needs for minerals, muscle strength and flexibility, and ion exchange.  Michelle and Katherine offer tools and practices for how to get into Shamanic shape so you can best support your health and sustainability of your practice, and channel more energy effectively and safely without burning yourself out.

The spiritual, personal development, coaching community has narcissists, abusers, sociopaths and shitty people in it, just like everywhere else. Unfortunately, these people are very skilled at distorting and manipulating spiritual teachings, language and practices to take advantage of and harm clients who come to them for help. These abusers may be so good at hiding behind spirituality that they could have harmed many people over the years, or even decades. This is wrong. This is out of integrity. We will not stand for this in our community. It can sometimes feel hard to tell if a practitioner is safe or not, especially if you’re new to the path or new to a particular community. Following up on their episode #46: Predators in the Spiritual Community, Michelle and Katherine go over the dangerous red flags to watch out for, and green flags to look for in a practitioner, teacher or medicine facilitator. Please use careful consideration whenever choosing a practitioner. While there may be some truly horrible abusers in the spiritual and coaching industry, there are plenty of safe and wonderful teachers as well.

Many of us struggle with self-trust. Maybe you have trouble making  decisions, you are easily swayed by the opinions and expectations of  others, or seem to put your own needs and desires last. If so, you’re  not alone. We live in a world that systematically undermines our  connection to inner wisdom and guidance, and unless we actively learn  the skills to cultivate self-trust, we’re stuck in self doubt.   Relax! We’ve got you covered. Join Michelle Hawk and Katherine Bird for  some real talk about how to trust yourself, including perspective from  their own journeys of self-trust, ways we can get stuck in doubt and the  top three tools you can use to build rock-solid trust in yourself.

Spiritual initiation cycles often bring up a lot of resistance. You’ve probably experienced this: initiations can be uncomfortable, confronting, challenging and triggering. But, as Michelle and Katherine discuss in this powerful episode, “resistance is fertile.” Resistance shows us where there is potent energy available for transformation, and when we understand and work with resistance, it can help catapult us forward into the next cycle.    Join the Shaman Sisters for a very real look at resistance through initiation cycles (and get a peek behind the scenes at some on-air epiphanies as they discuss their own resistance experiences).

We hear so much in the spiritual and “conscious” world about being non-judgmental, not judging ourselves or others. But what if judgment is actually a really helpful, valuable and positive tool? Judgment is incredibly important for setting boundaries, evaluating integrity, aligning with right action and opening to high-frequency spiritual experiences.    Michelle and Katherine love judgment. Join them for a conversation about the “anatomy of judgment,” why judgment is essential for your spiritual practices and tools to cultivate and trust your excellent judgment.

What happens when our emotional systems become overwhelmed by a constant barrage of stress, suffering, disaster and crisis? Unfortunately, “compassion fatigue” is all too common these days, especially among healers, caretakers and empaths. It might feel like you’re numb or simply can’t bring yourself to care anymore, but it’s actually a sign of needing to protect yourself and draw your energy and power back home to your heart. Michelle and Katherine talk about their experiences with compassion fatigue and offer tools for working with compassion in action so you can stay connected, grounded and empowered.

Creating sacred healing tools, tinctures and elixirs, visionary art, jewelry, talismans and totems are all ways to anchor powerful energy into the Earthly plane through physical objects. These sacred totems, crafted with intention, prayer and guidance, can work with shamanic energies, alchemical correspondences, elemental frequencies and energies encoded for specific healing and initiation. When working with these sacred objects, we cultivate a powerful relationship with those frequencies and receive the gifts encoded in the items. Michelle and Katherine share some of their sacred tool creations, inspiration behind magical art, and offer guidance and tips to create your own objects of power.

It’s one thing to advertise oneself as a “transformational guide,” but how do we actually measure and quantify that transformation in our clients? Transformation and results are not the same thing. To truly support a transformational experience for our clients requires subtlety, attention, curiosity and working collaboratively with the ecosystem of self and spirit for that to take place.   Michelle and Katherine share their understandings of transformation and how to best support that in their clients.

I may be getting old but these gals seem to me like they’re speaking really fast! I try to listen to listen as I’m settling in at night but the hyper-fast talk wakes me up too much😳 I guess I need to listen during a day off from work when I don’t need to let my emotions chill.

Shaman Sister Sessions, #27 - Structural Anomalies, Pain and Illness

You've had an awakening experience. Maybe you thought you were going crazy for a minute and that all of these things you were feeling/seeing/hearing were random, or signs of a mental illness, or something you were just making up... until you figured out that you were actually coming into your psychic abilities. Great! Now what? Everyone has the ability to "be psychic," but few people know that this is actually a skill that you can develop like any other, and not a "gift" that some people have and some people don't. What is the most natural manifestation of your psychic abilities? How can you discover your innate intuition? What tools and techniques can you practice to hone your skills?

Channeling is a mysterious art which has brought us a wealth of information, technology and healing. Some people open their channels spontaneously, others through specific practices.

#86: How to Choose a Spiritual Teacher

When we experience trauma and spiritual challenges that we don't later process and integrate, our soul can fracture. Soul fragmentation can result in loss of sense of self, loss of vitality, feeling disconnected from life force and as though something is missing. Soul loss is a cumulative process. We can experience trauma and soul fragmentation from past lives, and still feel the results of this in our current, embodied state. Soul Retrieval is the process of calling back, healing and re-integrating these "lost" soul fragments in order to regain wholeness. How do we experience soul loss? What are the benefits of Soul Retrieval? How can we process trauma more effectively so as to not experience soul fragmentation in the first place?

Shaman Sister Sessions: #72 Soul Retrieval

Devra Gregory

Katherine and Michelle are pleased to welcome special guest Devra Gregory! Many of us feel the wisdom of the Goddess Rising. We know that the Divine Feminine is making her way back into the hearts and minds of the collective consciousness. We feel her presence. What does it mean to work with the Goddess? How can we all (regardless of where we are on the gender spectrum) benefit from strengthening our relationship with the Divine Feminine? What does it mean to walk the Priestess Path? Join us for a conversation with special guest and High Priestess, Devra! Devra was called to a spiritual path at the age of 11 when she had an awakening due to her grandfathers passing. Growing up in the Jewish faith and deeply committed, she wanted equality with the boys but found her tradition too patriarchal. Dev's search for truth led her on explorations into metaphysics, meditation, Hinduism and Buddhism, and in 1992 she found Wicca to be more in alignment with her deep connection to nature and to The Goddess. She was initiated as a Priestess and is now the High Priestess of Dragon Sister Circle, a Wiccan women’s circle in San Diego. She offers rituals and workshops inspiring people to awaken their magic and powerful selves. Dev also holds co-ed full moon rhythm rituals and Sacred Flame Fire Circle, a bi-annual ceremonial gathering for personal and planetary transformation.

Katherine and Michelle are pleased to welcome special guest Devra Gregory! Many of us feel the wisdom of the Goddess Rising. We know that the Divine Feminine is making her way back into the hearts and minds of the collective consciousness. We feel her presence. What does it mean to work with the Goddess? How can we all (regardless of where we are on the gender spectrum) benefit from strengthening our relationship with the Divine Feminine? What does it mean to walk the Priestess Path? Join us for a conversation with special guest and High Priestess, Devra! Devra was called to a spiritual path at the age of 11 when she had an awakening due to her grandfathers passing. Growing up in the Jewish faith and deeply committed, she wanted equality with the boys but found her tradition too patriarchal. Dev's search for truth led her on explorations into metaphysics, meditation, Hinduism and Buddhism, and in 1992 she found Wicca to be more in alignment with her deep connection to nature and to The Goddess. She was initiated as a Priestess and is now the High Priestess of Dragon Sister Circle, a Wiccan women’s circle in San Diego. She offers rituals and workshops inspiring people to awaken their magic and powerful selves. Dev also holds co-ed full moon rhythm rituals and Sacred Flame Fire Circle, a bi-annual ceremonial gathering for personal and planetary transformation.
