Shaman Sister Sessions

Ancestral Healing, Connection and Honoring

Any time is a great time to honor the ancestors, but this energy is particularly potent during the Samhain portal when the veil is thinnest. This is a time when we may connect with our ancestors by celebrating their songs, their lives and the stories told around the fire. We acknowledge their pains, hurts, suffering and harmful choices, and we honor their efforts on our behalf. How do we work with our ancestors, regardless of whether we have a great or a challenged relationship with them? How do we offer honoring and celebration to receive gifts and guidance from our well and healed ancestors? How do we offer compassion, generosity and forgiveness to our ancestors who may be in the realm of suffering souls? Michelle and Katherine dive into a potent discussion of ancestral healing and connection. Join the Shaman Sisters for tools on how to work with your ancestors, how to make an ancestor altar and offerings, how to receive support from your ancestors and offer healing to your lineages.

Discernment and Protection at Spiritual Gatherings

Do you attend ceremonies, festivals, spiritual gatherings or community events? If so, this episode is a must for you! Just because an event uses spiritual language or addresses spiritual topics doesn’t mean it is held as a solid container. Events like this are often porous portals, with many people attending from all points on the spiritual path. Indiscriminate invocations, substance use, chaotic collective fields and concentrated gatherings can often lead to overwhelm, exhaustion, fatigue, unintentionally processing other people’s energy, leaky boundaries and energetic or entity attachments.Does this mean you shouldn’t attend spiritual gatherings? Absolutely not. Michelle and Katherine offer practical tools, awarenesses and advice for how to safely attend and enjoy spiritual gatherings while staying grounded, protected and anchored in your body and energy field.

Shamanic Allies and Spirit Guides for Healing Work

Who are my spirit guides? How do I work with my Shamanic allies? Are some guides “better” or more powerful than others? These are common questions we hear from people on the healing path. Knowing who your spirit guides are and how to collaborate in functionally purposeful relationships with your Shamanic allies are essential tools for any practitioner, for your personal or professional healing work. Every guide has their own realm of expertise, their own purpose and medicine that will express differently in your work. Michelle and Katherine talk about how to develop meaningful relationships with your Shamanic allies, how to discover your spirit guides and best practices for integrating them into an effective and powerful healing practice.

Soul Recovery for Care Providers and Grief Bearers, ft. Dr. Oscar Pérez

Michelle and Katherine are delighted to welcome Dr. Oscar Pérez for a discussion on grief bearers, ancestral healing and Toltec wisdom teachings!According to Toltec wisdom, in each generation, there is one family member whose soul path includes feeling, holding and processing wounding and shadow on behalf of their lineage. Unfortunately, in the modern, western world, these people are often criticized as “too sensitive,” or rejected as the “black sheep” of the family. In some cases, these Grief Bearers (as termed by Dr. Oscar) dive into addiction and harmful behaviors. In others, they become helpers, therapists, healers and care providers as a means to pursue this soul path of lineage healing. But many of these people suffer from burnout, psychic and emotional exhaustion. Join us for a potent conversation with Dr. Oscar as we dive into what it means to be a Grief Bearer, ancestral reclamation and lineage healing, and animistic wisdom in the context of mental health and allopathic medicine.Dr. Oscar C. Pérez is the founder of Tending The Fires, a global community and initiatory school for natural-born healers walking the shamanic path. He is the best-selling author of The Flowering War: Toltec Teachings for Healing Ancestral Trauma, a groundbreaking work that has become essential reading for therapists, spiritual seekers, and leaders reclaiming their lineage and life-force from generational wounding.Dr. Pérez holds a PhD from Brown University, where his research focused on how intact, earth-based cultures use storytelling, ritual, and collective memory to metabolize trauma and renew the soul of the people. A lifelong student and initiated practitioner of shamanism, Dr. Pérez weaves ancestral wisdom, transpersonal psychology, and cutting-edge neuroscience into his signature method of Soul Recovery, rooted in the Toltec tradition.Through retreats, immersive trainings, and his signature programs, Dr. Pérez guides modern-day Grief bearers— spiritual healers, coaches, and therapists — through the deep work of becoming the healers their lineages have been waiting for.Dr. Oscar Pérez links:Website: https://www.tendingthefires.com/The Fire Clan, the exclusive Tending The Fires community: https://tendingthefires.mn.co/ The Flowering War book: https://a.co/d/ajQ6pzJThe Flowering War audiobook: https://open.spotify.com/show/71Ij3lNiMMvE0SA9nUqEfd?si=327372266bec4af7
