Presence is the foundation for change. It’s impossible to go where you want to go if you’re not present with where you are, now. Most of us spend our waking hours roaming the territory of the remembered past or the imagined future. This first live session will set the foundation for your journey into the fullest expression of your divine purpose.In this session, you’ll:

• Build a foundation of focus and intention to get the most the journey ahead.
• Develop tools for accessing presence and dealing with the negative mind chatter.
• Ground yourself in this time of rapid, dynamic change.
• Create a sacred sanctuary that supports community presence and alignment.

Integrity is the state of being when we are whole and complete. It is not about morality or what is right or wrong. It’s the basis of a life that works for our highest good. Shamanic practitioners are impeccable with their words, because they know the healing and transformation that’s possible is rooted in them.In this session, you’ll:

• Discover how your integrity leads to an experience of wholeness, performance and productivity in all areas of your life.
• Align your values with your actions and overcome the “inertia of normality.”
• Complete energy draining projects and relationships.

For the past hundred thousand years, shamans have danced, sang and brought all their senses with them when they journeyed. Contemporary shamanism can often appear to downplay these fuller experiences, leading to out of body experiences that dissociate the journeyer from wisdom gained through accessing all of their senses. This limits the quality and amount of information received while journeying and makes it more difficult to embody in daily life.In this session, you’ll discover:

• How to engage in full-bodied journeying — with ALL of your senses.
• Physical and sensual patterns of your experiences inside and outside journeying.
• How to release suppressed energy and false beliefs tied to trauma and past experiences.
• How to access support to release what no longer serves you.
• Ways to integrate the parts of you that have become fragmented or compartmentalized.

We live in a “story field” in which we classify ourselves with a particular story we call our identity. When you act from this fixed identity, you reinforce your old story — the good bad and the ugly. To heal is to transform a limiting story into one of health, vitality and fulfillment.In this session, you’ll discover:

• You are not, in fact, your story.
• The narratives that inform humanity’s (and your own!) spiritual evolution.
• How to move from being a character in your life’s story to the author.
• Ways to sculpt a full bodied vision of who you are becoming.

In traditional shamanism, the shaman travels to “non-ordinary” reality with a power animal or spirit guide to locate and recover parts of the soul, that have been lost or suppressed due to trauma, pain or a disturbance. In Embodied Shamanism, you see how these practices can also be used to integrate the wisdom of our ancestors and integrate them into our lives.In this session, you’ll:

• Discover heal ancestral wounding that is part of the continuum of your life.
• Access to advice from your ancestors and spirit guides.
• Deconstruct your “master identity” narrative — a fixed idea of who you are based on the past.
• Re-member lost soul parts and recover missing parts of a narrative that expresses who you truly are.

Shapeshifting is one of the most powerful practices in shamanism, transferring consciousness to assimilate strength, wisdom and power. Through this transformative technique, you’ll shift into a more empowering Master Identity Narrative — physically, emotionally and spiritually.In this session, you’ll discover:

• How to shapeshift into a new story of who you are in your life.
• Practices for staying aligned with your new narrative.
• Ways to ground and integrate your new narrative into your life and community.

We tend to underestimate the power of words and language in our world. Everything that exists has been named by us or by our ancestors. When you understand how language defines reality, you can reclaim your power to create, transform and bring forth the miraculous into our lives.In this session, you’ll discover:

• How language defines being in the world.
• Ways to reclaim your power through the words you choose.
• New levels of creativity in every area of your life.
• How to transform blocks into expanding your fullest expression of yourself.
• How to listen in deeper and more empowering ways.

Are you living as a main character — or the main author — of your life story? Past experiences or self-limiting beliefs may be keeping you bound to this story. When you fully claim the power of authorship, a new world of truth and possibility opens up for you.In this session, you’ll:

• Discover how to step into your story as the rightful author, not just a character.
• Release self-limiting beliefs and assumptions about your life.
• Savor the mystery of the unknown, the genesis of creativity.
• Tap into your authentic power through gratitude and forgiveness practices.

The story of your life is embedded in a larger story of your community and the world around you. Your individual story changes only if the larger narrative of your community also shifts.In this session, you’ll:

• Identify the self-limiting stories embedded in your community.
• Create a more empowering community narrative.
• Build a community of soul allies that support your evolution.
• Create a new narrative for living a life you love.

Any story that is not created in the moment, is a product of the remembered past or imagined future. It’s a pattern of belief and being. Daily practices, rituals and ceremonies can support you in remembering that reality is malleable and every moment is a choice to transform old mundane patterns into a miraculous new story.In this session, you’ll:

• Learn to repattern your habitual ways of being into new and generative actions.
• Develop daily practices to build new neural pathways that embed your new life story in your body, mind and spirit.
• Identify triggers for old patterns so you can avoid backsliding and experience the freedom of an ever-unfolding present moment story.
• Use your shamanic journey work to realign with your soul purpose.

Few things erode the quality of your life more than the seemingly benign act of complaining. (Alas, most of us do complain!) When you complain or gossip, you demean yourself and others and block the full expression of your own and others’ potential.Managing your conversations helps transform self-destructive complaints into calls to positive action and portals to greater awareness.

In this session, you’ll discover:

• How your words erode or expand the quality of your life.
• How complaint-free conversations can create the miraculous.
• How to use complaints as portals to higher consciousness.
• The power to transform destructive words into opportunities for empowerment.
• How to interrupt the trance of unworthiness with loving awareness.

In these times of chaos and rapid change, your own growth is essential in serving the awakening of others. In fact, the more awake and aware you become, the more natural it is to engage in selfless service, showing others how they, too, can become authors of their own lives.In this session, you’ll discover:

• Time-tested listening techniques to empower others on their path.
• Michael’s proven methods for building a successful Shamanic Coaching practice.
• How to use your own journey of awakening for the benefit of your clients.
• How to awakening to the power of being of service to your community.

In this age of technology and high-speed everything, your life may feel out of control or at least like it’s not being managed by YOU. Do you struggle with balancing outer and inner responsibilities? Have you lost your connection to others and the sacred pulse of life?Entering the next evolution of human development requires that you enter the stillness within, so that you can access the wisdom you need to guide your life and actions.

In this session, you’ll discover:

• Your integral role with nature and the future of life on Earth.
• Insights and tools for creating more balance and peace of mind.
• How to keep your commitments alive and take related action.
• The power of inner stillness in the evolution of your development.

In the end, it’s all about LOVE…The path of listening with and to your heart leads to a life of loving and serving others. It can be all-too-familiar, to listen to the mind and let Master Identity Narratives run the show. Now it’s time to discover the real power of living from the voice of the grateful heart.

In this session, you’ll discover:

• The power in celebrating the life you’ve been given.
• Unconditional love and its power to change your life.
• The alchemy of your heart-centered story of transformation.
