The 12-Step Shaman: Bridging Recovery and Ancient Wisdom
12 Step Spirituality: A Shaman's Way of Being-is a way of life.
The difference between a shaman and a madman is that the shaman swims in the same waters in which the madman drowns. - Joseph Campbell
This transformative journey of self-discovery and healing is the culmination of over 40 years of personal growth and spiritual evolution. Whether you engage through my mentorship program, individual sessions, blogs, or social media, my core beliefs and teachings remain constant. These timeless principles, refined through decades of experience, offer wisdom spanning a lifetime. The depth of your engagement is your choice. If you have the courage to say “yes” and answer the call then know you're tapping into knowledge cultivated through four decades of lived experience dedicated practice and personal transcendence.
At the heart of this journey lies a profound truth: The darkest depths of your soul harbor both your greatest fears and your most profound potential. Are you prepared to dive into those murky waters, confront what lurks beneath, and undergo a psychic change that will alter the very nature of your being?
While deeply personal, this journey need not be traveled alone. Healing is an internal process, and your path can be illuminated by a mentor who has faced similar challenges. Seek a guide, even if it is not me, who embodies what they teach—one who lives a conscious, creative, and sovereign life—and can support your journey through their own lived experience.
From a traditional medicine perspective (TM), wellness stems from harmony across four levels:
1. Physical
2. Emotional
3. Mental
4. Spiritual (energetic)
Healing from a shamanic perspective, like other traditional medicine approaches, flows from spirit, also known as the energetic, addressing all levels for optimal success. Shamans, as "Wounded Healers," have navigated their own “dark night of the soul” a period of deep spiritual crisis, complete despair, and hopelessness that some call “hitting bottom.” They have navigated their shadows with success and are now adept at guiding others through similar challenges.
From the shamanic perspective, unresolved spiritual crises lead to “soul loss” or “soul fright”—also known as “soul sickness”—a profound disconnection from one's true self that perpetuates cycles of fear, victimhood, and addiction. The shaman's journey serves as a roadmap, offering a path to healing and transcendence.
My interdisciplinary approach weaves together four pillars of wisdom:
1. Shamanic Practices (traditional, non-orthodox, non-Western methods)
2. The Hero's Journey (Joseph Campbell)
3. 12-Step Model (Alcoholics Anonymous, AA)
4. Modern Science (neuroscience, biochemistry, nutrition)
This holistic method honors both ancient wisdom and modern understanding, providing a sacred space to address wounds, clear toxic energy, and initiate soul-level healing.
Remember, it's YOUR journey. Will you claim it and step into your power, or remain trapped in old patterns?
By embracing 12-Step Spirituality: A Shaman's Way of Being, you'll confront your deepest fears and unlock your highest potential. This path demands courage and offers true transcendence—a psychic change that liberates you from generational patterns and connects you to your authentic self.
As Lao Tzu said, "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Your path to freedom and self-realization awaits. Will you answer the call?
