Leaving Gossip Behind and Celebrating Successes: Shamans Cave

In a lot of spiritual traditions gossip is a way to make people feel that they are superior to others who have made a misstep or who are not behaving in an ethical manner. It is true it is up to our communities to let people know when there are unethical teachers who are hurting others instead of truly teaching ethically from a place where they have done a lot of personal work to tame and transmute their shadow. When we can do this we end up creating unity which is so needed today. Division is s...

Compassion vs Forgiveness: Shamans Cave

In this extremely relevant show to the times we are living in, Renee and Sandra speak about an article in the New York Times where a psychologist talked about letting go of the need to forgive people who abused you but instead have compassion for what made them behave in such a destructive way.

Join R...

Bringing the Spiritual Community Together: Shamans Cave

Sandra went to see the new Dylan movie which reminded her how tight the community was in the 1960s, and how they stood together during challenging times and did not sit down but connected and demonstrated.

Join Sandra and Renee for this important show on the need for the spiritual community to come ...

Graceful Aging: Shamans Cave

At at time on the planet when looking youthful and finding ways to live longer dominate our news and culture an entire part of our population is not being honored for the life that have led and what they contributed over their lifetime.

The Feminine Way of Storytelling: Shamans Cave

Our modern Western culture tends to focus on learning through lectures and gathering more material.

Meeting People for Who They Are: Shamans Cave

Renee Baribeau had a profound experience that inspired this episode. We encounter countless people each day, moving through life at such a rapid pace that it becomes difficult to pause and engage in true heart-to-heart exchanges. Too often, we place labels on others—calling them ignorant, lazy, or mentally ill—without ever stopping to connect with them on a human level. But when we take the time to engage authentically, we tap into a deep well of truth, empathy, and shared humanity. Viewing othe...

The Power of Predictions: Shamans Cave

With all the immense amount of information everyone gave on the eclipse there were a lot of people making predictions that no one knows if they will come true. Sometimes predictions about someone’s life or the collective need to be given in ways that empower us to make changes rather than having a poisonous seed planted inside of us with no possibility of being weeded out. This causes us to wonder did this happen because it was part of my destiny versus did it happen because someone planted a se...

Burnout: Shamans Cave

Sandra Ingerman and Renee Baribeau have been working very hard to be in service. And being in service is both of their passions and bring them energy and joy.

The Power of Pilgrimage: Shamans Cave

Renee Baribeau has been talking about her journey ahead to walk the Camino. This led Sandra to think about how in many shamanic cultures the power of the healing often comes from the commitment you make and the sacrifice to get to the healing. At a time on the planet where a majority of healing is going on remotely there are things to consider. Remote work does work well as the veils between the worlds are so much thinner. But what gets missed when there is no pilgrimage to get to the healing? J...

Joining Together with Community to Grow Food and Share Resources: Shamans Cave

Keeping in Positive in a World Filled with Challenges: Shamans Cave

Sandra has been passionate about teaching the metaphor that shamans are gardeners of energy. What we plant grows. As Renee reminds us seeds grow and blossom in their own timing and can take days, weeks, to years. The spiritual community often gets caught up in we must fight for our belief and often time judge those who feel change can happen with planting seeds of love, gratitude, and kindness. There is no right answer during this time. We are all in deep initiation and we are getting lessons th...

The Power of Working with Symbols: Shamans Cave

In our modern world we tend to take everything literally. But in all spiritual traditions wisdom is passed down through metaphorical stories. And this is true of oracle cards and omens that the universe shows us to give us a roadmap for how to move forward in life and the forces surrounding us. Carl Jung taught that symbols change our consciousness. Working with symbols and metaphors that we receive when we work with cards, journeys, spiritual books, taking walks in nature gives us the opportuni...
