NATURAL BORN SHAMANS: Spiritual Toolkit for Life

(Using shamanism creatively with young people of all ages)

My first book was published in August 2016. The foreword was written by Sandra Ingerman. It covers all aspects of performing spiritual or shamanic work with children and young people. It is aimed at anyone who has an interest in young people and their spiritual journey. It covers the spiritual needs of all age groups from "in utero" until age 18+.

It explains what shamanic parenting is and describes ways of doing spirit-led work, even with unborn babies and spirit children (after miscarriage, abortion or early death). It provides 30 "tried and tested" session plans for people looking for inspiration and "where to start".

You can order the book on amazon and from most quality bookshops.

SACRED ART: A HOLLOW BONE FOR SPIRIT

(Where Art Meets Shamanism)

When this book was published I wrote to the Art School in Amsterdam I attended 30 years ago and offered them a copy for their library. They accepted and I am thrilled that art students will now found a book about Sacred Art there by an alumna!

This book tells the story of sacred art across cultures, continents and historical periods and makes a plea for sacred art to once again take its rightful place in our perception. Making sacred art means stepping outside the realm of ego-led consciousness to become a hollow bone for spirit so art becomes a mystery school process. When we connect to forces greater than ourselves, creative blocks do not exist and healing occurs naturally.

The greatest piece of art we will ever make is our own life!

MEDICINE OF THE IMAGINATION: DWELLING IN POSSIBILITY

(An Impassioned Plea for Fearless Imagination)

This is "the book I had not planned to write". On the day I submitted the manuscript of book number two (Sacred Art) the spirits insisted I start this book right away. My life is spirit-led - I did....

The human imagination gives rise to the most beautiful man-made structures and creations on Earth: architecture, literature, theatre, music, art, humanitarian initiatives, moon landings and space exploration, mythology, science, they all require a large dose of imagination. We all live surrounded by the results of the imagination of our peers, and the creations of our ancestors. Without imagination there is no compassion, no moral compass and no progress. But without imagination there is also no fear of death. There are no premeditated murders or terrorist attacks; these rely on the human ability to imagine, to call up images and test-drive possible scenarios in the human mind. Once we get out the magnifying glass, we discover that the imagination is a double-edged sword. All of us together, humanity as a collective, are creating very confused and mixed outcomes: world peace remains elusive, wars rage and children starve. Addictions and pollution proliferate. Medicine of the Imagination: Dwelling in Possibility examines these issues and suggests that if we are to transcend religious wars, homophobia and medical cures worse than the diseases we face then it that it is our moral duty to engage our imagination in service to other people.

THE LOVE HALL, Brendan's Travel Guide to the Best Places in the Spirit World

This book is used by many shamanic practitioners and teachers all over the world in their classes and work with families!

When he was nine years old our youngest son Brendan's greatest wish was to be a published author. He spent hours scribbling and drawing every day. This charming small book gives a child's simple yet profound view on spiritual matters and shares guidance and shamanic journeys received from his own spirit allies. Many of his journeys evolve around a he healing place he discovered, called The Love Hall. We published the book as surprise for his 10th birthday (that morning he received a box full of his own books!) To our surprise it turned out to be a "bestseller" and there have been four reprints and editions so far.

We are very grateful to Sandra Ingerman who encouraged Brendan to keep on writing and, once the book came out, gave it a beautiful announcement in her May Transmutation News in 2014.

We are also grateful to Donna Alene Hrabcakova, an Ojibwa teacher at the Center of Sacred Studies in Ohio for writing a longer review of Brendan's book and teaching him some Ojibwa words!

We thank everyone who supported Brendan by buying a copy of this book. This has encouraged him to find his voice and confidence as a young spiritual person and visionary! Also see Brendan's film about Forest Magic and Healing Potions!
