A yearning to find out what my life was about led me to Michelle MacEwan.
I felt lost, like a wanderer in search of an elusive answer. Like most of us at one time or another, I thought that there was something missing. I felt a void in my heart and longed for that sense of fulfilment, contentment, peace.
Michelle MacEwan is a shamanic healer and teacher.
'To be shamanic is to be a caretaker of Earth', Michelle says.
Shamanism is the original spiritual pathway of any indigenous culture. It is the ancient spirituality that expresses a unity between all things, and continues to evolve as we do. The tradition of vision and inner quest is the realm of the shaman.
Shaman is a Siberian word that has a meaning like Spirit doctor, or one who works with spirit. All indigenous cultures believe that illness begins in spirit.
'I find people are more and more open to it', Michelle says.
She works with the power of myth and finds that people the world over are drawn to know what their purpose is. Discovering their own personal myth is part of this.
'When you talk to people about their lives, it's the wounds and the passions and all the classic things that are in the old myths they are expressing', Michelle says.
In times of stress, trauma or heartbreak our energy can be shattered and lost. This causes us to suffer a disconnection from our inner strength, the voice of our heart. Through her work, Michelle helps to bring those parts back. This allows acknowledgment of our pain, wounds and suffering, a great understanding and compassion, followed by an overwhelming sense of comfort and joy in feeling a missing part returned.
With each part that has returned I have stepped closer to myself, which in turn sparks a curiosity within my heart to reveal more of who I am and what my journey holds.
Working with Michelle has shone a light into the buried fragments of my spirit that were missing. Her workshops and healing sessions provided me with a platform to self discovery and a healing that is deep rooted.
When you begin to know yourself more, your life, your story, becomes intriguing. You become like an archaeologist brushing away the dust to reveal an uncovered mystery, one that you may have spent a long time searching for, the mystery of yourself.
Michelle's work is very much in the tradition of the ancient Celtic mystical pathway. Its essence is to harmonise heart and soul and to help people reconnect with their spiritual resources and step back into their power. When you are full of your power, you are powerful, and there is no room for disharmony.
Michelle's teachings are a unique blend of ancient wisdom and practice melded with her own distinct and insightful skills. She facilitates inspirational programs that help to evoke spiritual awakening and usher you along a magical journey. Whether you are seeking healing, creative expression or you desire a deeper exploration of your path in life, these programs will empower you.
One of Michelle's visions is to help people have a deep spiritual experience while in nature. She believes this facilitates individuals to find, or deepen their connection to Spirit and the old shamanic wisdom that we are all one and take a big step towards unity. She is passionate about the environment and believes that when we have a deep and personal experience in nature, we are more prepared to defend it.
Michelle is running programs and healing sessions in Ireland in May/June and October as well as guiding a pilgrimage to sacred sites in the west of Ireland on October 3rd - 15th .
