My life has been one of being a seeker and a healer. I devote my energies to being a “hollow bone” and allowing the divine spirit to work through me in order to heal people, animals, and places.
…looking back I realize that everything that I did had an element of healing in it from parish ministry to psychotherapy to military chaplaincy. I have been blessed immensely since discovering the shaman path 12 years ago. Now as a seeker, I have found myself and my life’s true mission —– to heal people and places.
