"Born in Oxford, England, I received my shamanic calling in a downtown Los Angeles apartment block in November 2007. I had been trying to ignore it for the previous two years and blind to it since birth. Oh! How things change. In retrospect the signs and visions were there for as far back as I can remember.
This can be lonely work and I battled on alone for the first twelve months coming up against disappointment and frustration along the way. A lack of finances and community can be the biggest hurdles in this work and I'm determined to find a way for more people to benefit from all I have learned without these obstacles.
So, my quest has taken me to California, Tennessee and now back to England where I have trained with the Sacred Trust who are based in Dorset and The Warrior in the Heart at Glastonbury, Somerset through The Isle Of Avalon foundation.
Training is ongoing and the learning never stops.
In August 2009 I attended the Shamans drum workshop with Peter Bengry of Being in Beauty. Discovering how to connect with the spirit of the drum and learning how to use it as a healing tool. I am also now at Reiki 2nd degree which I incorporate into my work in tandem with Qi gong healing.
With a fast expanding interest and knowledge in chaos magick and freestyle shamanic techniques, one day I will open a retreat centre for seekers to use as a training base or simply as a place to come and find peace, reflection or silence. Until then, based in Oxford, UK, I work spiritually, in any way I can.
If you think you could benefit from anything I have to offer then, please do, get in touch."
Peace and blessings.
Michael.
