With all the immense amount of information everyone gave on the eclipse there were a lot of people making predictions that no one knows if they will come true. Sometimes predictions about someone’s life or the collective need to be given in ways that empower us to make changes rather than having a poisonous seed planted inside of us with no possibility of being weeded out. This causes us to wonder  did this happen because it was part of my destiny versus did it happen because someone planted a seed filled with fear inside of me. How do we learn how to be in service and tell the truth abo ..read more

Join Renee Baribeau, The Practical Shaman and Sandra Ingerman as they revisit how the path of shamanism has changed over the years.

What shamanic practices people need to learn about these days is geared to learn ways to thrive on this Earth with all that is happening today. It is the practica ..read more

Renee Baribeau had a profound experience that inspired this episode. We encounter countless people each day, moving through life at such a rapid pace that it becomes difficult to pause and engage in true heart-to-heart exchanges. Too often, we place labels on others—calling them ignorant, lazy, or mentally ill—without ever stopping to connect with them on a human level. But when we take the time to engage authentically, we tap into a deep well of truth, empathy, and shared humanity. Viewing others as archetypes or one-dimensional characters distances us, reducing them to mere figures in a virt ..read more

With a world filled with trauma it is time to turn our attention into cultivating our Inner World. This is not an action to take to escape life.

Our Inner World is a place to find strength and healing.  Have you noticed how many people are getting ill from reaching outside ins ..read more

Sandra Ingerman and Renee Baribeau  have been working very hard to be in service. And being in service is both of their passions and bring them energy and joy. But when there is no exchange of energy they both found themselves experiencing burnout. So many of us in life were taught giving is always better than receiving. But in this case, there is no harmonious flow. Without a flow of energy coming back the river simply runs dry. And that is happening for so many right now with all the stresses life is bringing to us. Join Renee and Sandra for this important show on making sure the flow ..read more

Renee Baribeau  has been talking about her journey ahead to walk the Camino. This led Sandra to think about how in many shamanic cultures the power of the healing often comes from the commitment you make and the sacrifice to get to the healing. At a time on the planet where a majority of healing is going on remotely there are things to consider. Remote work does work well as the veils between the worlds are so much thinner. But what gets missed when there is no pilgrimage to get to the healing? Join Sandra Ingerman and  Renee Baribeau  as they talk about this topic that some of ..read more
