Shamanic Practice--Soul Intent Arts
Soul Intent Arts is an intertribal shamanic practice for Universal wellbeing through Mystery School, workshops, and private sessions. Private sessions help clients restore their power with soul retrieval, extraction, chakra and etheric body clearing, retrieving spirit guides and power animals. Teaching includes dynamic approaches in ecstatic journeying, such as connection with celestial and ancestral allies, life progression/regression and transpersonal chakra work. I often use Reiki, Reconnective Healing, and hypnotherapy to enhance my shamanic soul work.
