Who am I?I am a Maryland Licensed Acupuncturist, and I love that work. I also have a love for the spiritual component in all of life.
I was introduced to Shamanism when I was in Acupuncture school and have pursued training ever since. When I graduated in 1993, I started taking courses with the Foundation for Shamanic Studies (FSS). In 1997 I took their Three Year Advanced class. After that I did a two year class with Tom Cowan on Celtic Shamanism, and then a two year Teacher's training with Sandra Ingerman. I also was mentored for 10 years in the Lakota tradition. |
I began teaching introductory classes in 1997. It was then I started holding a regular Journey Group, every other week. In 2002, I taught the very first Two-Year program, and this class, starting in October 2019, will be the 9th Two-Year class I have taught.
Every time I teach this program, I am thrilled as the participants grow, bond and discover how to use this most ancient form of spirituality in their modern lives. Shamanism is always about direct revelation from Spirit, and once a person becomes familiar and practiced with listening to the messages from Spirit, their lives begin to flow and make sense. I believe that as each person learns this and adjusts their lifestyles and practices to be in harmony with Spirit, it is one more step to changing the modern world, which desperately needs our tending. |
I am Deanna, I am an ordinary person who has discovered that life can be extraordinary when I tap into the higher spiritual powers all around me. I'm a mother, a stepmother, a grandmother, a companion with pets, a wife and a friend.
