A Shaman’s Journey with Rachel Navaro

2025-10-03

Shamanism is as old human culture itself. But what does it mean to be a shaman in THIS time and place? Rachel Navaro, a trained shamanic practitioner, healer, and artist, answers that question and many more in this fascinating, two-part interview. In part one, we explore how a girl born to a “normal” family in a Twin Cities suburb came to learn shamanic healing techniques and eventually step into her role as a practicing shaman. Along the way, Rachel shares her unique perspective on: What shamanism is (and isn’t)

Rachel Navaro, a trained shamanic practitioner, healer, and artist, answers that question and many more in this fascinating, two-part interview.

In part one, we explore how a girl born to a “normal” family in a Twin Cities suburb came to learn shamanic healing techniques and eventually step into her role as a practicing shaman. Along the way, Rachel shares her unique perspective on:

What shamanism is (and isn’t)
How trauma and ancestral patterns show up in our lives—and how they can be healed
The practice of soul retrieval and intergenerational healing
Learning to navigate boundaries and empathic sensitivity

In the process, we dig deeply into some of the core themes of the lightworker’s journey, exploring what it means to discover and embrace your path of service, and assist others on theirs.
