When I was a young child, I was content to be outside most of the day, writing and drawing, reading, talking to the trees and animals, and reveling in Nature. I started a recycling program at the local pharmacy-with-a-restaurant, where I started working at age 15 because I cared so deeply about our planet. Spirituality and Nature and respect for the earth and all creatures easily were a part of my life and life’s mission.

In 2009-2010, I began shamanic journeying and shamanic drumming and ceremonies with a local (Boulder, CO) Lakota woman, and I did not pursue shamanic practices regularly again until January 2016, when the death of my beloved dog ignited my participation in weekly journey circles, shamanic journeying and ceremonies, and research into combining shamanism with my reiki practice, other healing work and personal life. In 2016, I also completed an advanced shamanic practitioner training program with well-known shaman and teacher Sandra Ingerman. As this course began, world tragedies prompted me to “do something” for more peace on the planet, and I developed my Shamanic Journey through the Chakras offering. I’ve been working with kids in shamanic ceremony and journeying, leading shamanic ceremonies for individuals and groups holding special intentions (ex. healing and ease for loved one with cancer), adding shamanic journeying to reiki sessions as another option for clients, and integrating shamanic practices and rituals into various Turtle Healing Energy services and my daily personal life.

Shamanic Reiki Session with Erika M. Schreck
Intro to Shamanic Reiki Session with Erika M. Schreck

♦ Shamanic Reiki
Shamanic reiki is an amazing combination of two lovely, powerful forces: reiki and shamanism. Shamanism is a beautiful, ancient, non-denominational, spiritually based tradition and way of life. Adding shamanic “flavor” to my reiki sessions may include drumming, rattling, shamanic journeying, ceremony and Nature-based and -respecting practices. I have consistently found that adding even a brief shamanic journey and/or soul retrieval to a reiki session can create profound healing for traumatic and difficult experiences in the past and present—and add confidence, peace and positive results for anxiety-ridden future events.

The unique and amazing shamanic reiki session with Erika will include a check-in at the start of the session, a brief shamanic journey (will be discussed) to gain wisdom and healing, a full reiki session, recorded conversation at the end of the session, and e-mailed follow-up.

♦ Public Ceremony Events
Periodically I offer a live ceremony to a group for a particular intention. Click here to learn more about these events; my Turtle Healing Energy newsletter also announces events, services and specials. Currently in our seventh year (2024), each month I offer (on Zoom since 2020), I'm offering New Moon Spirit, a sacred ceremony and shamanic journey (meditative experience), which you may enjoy live on Zoom or at your convenience via the replay later. Learn more here about New Moon Spirit.

 

♦ Your Custom Shamanic Ceremony for Specific Occasion or Intention
Shamanic ceremony as I understand and practice is a sacred, participatory, simple experience that starts with intention and preparation, includes ritual and a guided sequence of acts and words at a dedicated altar, and closes deliberately. I offer several types of shamanic ceremonies at this time, for the purposes of supporting people; directing prayer and intentions; and sending love, light and healing energy.

In-Person or Zoom Live Ceremony with Group
This ceremony is often 60-90 minutes (we can pre-determine preferred length). I've been offering these ceremonies live on Zoom or at your home, a simple altar for the group, a small gift for participants so that they may continue the energy and intentions, and all the elements of the sacred ceremony, including a shamanic journey [meditative experience guided by intention and drumming and resulting in rich and amazing wisdom]. Optionally, I can seek a local space to rent, if needed, and the rental fee would need to be covered by the host.

Some recent examples of this type of ceremony include a ceremony for a friend's son diagnosed with and managing cancer--10 women gathered to hold space and send healing, a ceremony for people grieving a loss during the holidays, a "glistening" [welcoming] ceremony for a baby, and a ceremony and shamanic journey for a group of women who regularly gather on Zoom.

Sliding Scale: $90+ (let's discuss)
