Energy Medicine Seminars and Shaman Techniques Workshops: Words from Sue ~ I have communicated with nature and nature spirits all of my life. As a child, I learned how to walk easily between the worlds and this awareness has never left me. Because of my deep sense of connection with nature and the spirit world, it was a natural progression for me to learn at a deeper level the ways of working with Earth medicine. It feels so good to just stop and listen to nature…to work with her energy and to flow within the natural rhythms she moves in. By teaching classes on Earth Energies, Animal and Plant Communication, Elemental Forces, Reiki, Ra-Sheeba, Amara-Omni, Hawaiian Huna, Guarani Shamanic Healing and Munay-ki (Andean Shamanism), I am able to blend in the combined energies of Nature and Spirit. I love sharing this energy and knowledge with others in some magikal and practical ways so we can open doors and move out of a stuck place into our many unlimited possibilities.
