About three years ago, my wife Michelle gave birth to our first child, River, and our lives have taken on a whole new meaning ever since. As one of my teachers once told me, “If you think that shamanic medicine is strong, watch out! Children are the strongest medicine of all”. I cannot express ...
What’s it gonna be, Eastern or Western Medicine? Which table do you prefer to lie on—the exam table in your doctor’s office or the Reiki table of your practitioner? I am both a registered nurse AND an alternative healer. I’m here to tell you it’s OK to lie on both. It’s easy for me to say but not ...
A challenge that many of us encounter on our paths is the inner conflict of receiving money for healing work. Many feel that authentic healers should be free and accessible to everyone, or that in traditional societies money was never exchanged for this type of practice. This is a complex subject and ...
Have you ever had a strange feeling that… – A loved one was in trouble – You needed to eat a specific food or take a certain herb or supplement – There was something unsafe or otherwise “off” about a certain person or place …that ended up being spot-on? If you asked most ...
What if there was concrete scientific proof that shamans, energy workers, psychics, and other traditional healers were truly tapping into a higher realm to help others? Well, it looks like we may have finally gotten there. For centuries, scientists have been searching for the ultimate ‘theory of ...
I have a special video interview to share today that we filmed on a high jungle plateau in Peru. But first, a little backstory. Twenty two years ago, a clinically trained physician from France, Dr. Jacques Mabit, opened up a remote healing facility in the Amazon known as Takiwasi. Employing a variety of ...
The first time I ever experienced an Ayahuasca ceremony was seven years ago. It wasn’t in a remote jungle hut in the middle of the Amazon, or in some fancy Californian ashram. My first encounter with the legendary “vine of souls” (sometimes referred to as “vine of death”) was in...
Today I’d like to share some earth wisdom with you from across the Atlantic Ocean, within a culture that the modern world has all but forgotten. This weekend, we celebrate a time-honored holiday that is very sacred to the Celtic/Druidian traditions here in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It is called the ...
When I say the word “shaman”, what imagery immediately comes to mind? Is it a male or female? Old or young? What nationality? There is an interesting phenomenon that most experienced ethnobotanists and anthropologists are well aware of, and it’s this: most shamans don’t like to attract ...
First off, thank you Nick Polizzi for the opportunity to share my story with The Sacred Science Community. Four years ago, I was at a crossroads. Despite reaching a place of material “success” or “happiness,” I felt completely empty inside. My body was dangerously unhealthy and my mind was ...
Two letters. One consonant and one vowel. It’s one of the go-to words in my dog Oscar’s vocabulary, and almost like magic, it can set you free. But you need to know how and when to say it. The word is no. Talk about an enforcer, right? We all learn the power of “no” in our first year on the ...
Today, I’m excited to share an interview we filmed with the legendary Lakota elder Russell Means and his wife Pearl a few summers ago. I’ve spoken with many wisdom keepers in my life, but this talk stands out as one of the highlights of my career. The inspiration for this piece came from an interview ...
