NEW FREE WORKSHOP. 1st February KNOWING THE POWER INSIDE YOU: a shamanic workshop with painting about imposter syndrome
That voice that says you're not enough? It's not even yours.
You know the one. The voice that whispers you'll be found out. That you got lucky. That everyone else knows what they're doing and you're just... winging it
Maybe it shows up before a big meeting. Maybe it stops you from sharing your work, your ideas, your gifts. Maybe it's been running the show for so long you've forgotten what confidence actually feels like.
Here's what shamanic traditions have known for thousands of years: that voice isn't you. It's inherited. Absorbed. Picked up from parents, teachers, a society that taught you to shrink.
And it can be released.
Journey deep into the shamanic realms to meet your "imposter" face to face and discover where it actually came from
Release the beliefs, the voices, and the energy that were never yours to carry
Call back the parts of yourself you hid away to fit in, to be safe, to be loved
Meet your authentic powerful self, not the one you perform, but the one you ARE
Anchor this power into your body through intuitive painting, creating your own "Power Portrait" to take home. Book through my website, link in bio and www.schoolofshamanism.co.uk (you can also book through www.artandspirituality.co.uk)

You know that feeling when you wake up exhausted because you've been "somewhere else" all night?
Or when you meditate and suddenly you're floating above your body looking down?
Or that jolt when you're falling asleep, like you're dropping back into yourself?
You're already traveling beyond your body. You just don't have a map.
On 7th February, Cori KOA and I are giving you that map.
My shamanic tools for conscious journeying
Cori's somatic wisdom for staying connected to your body
Because true astral travel isn't about escaping your body. It's about expanding FROM it. Rooted and flying at the same time.
This workshop is for you if:
You dissociate and want to learn the difference between that and journeying
You're curious but scared about astral travel
You've been spontaneously leaving your body and need guidance
You want to explore other realms safely
Beyond the Body Workshop
February 7th, 10am-12pm
In-person (Edinburgh) & Online
We're keeping it small so everyone gets support.

NEW PODCAST RELEASE Letting go, leaping forward with Rachael Hill- Listen on Spotify or Apple, link in bio.
In this episode, Rachael opens up about the raw, messy, and unexpectedly beautiful experience of standing between two versions of herself, the one who spent a decade working as a registered mental health nurse, and the one who woke up one morning and quietly knew she had to walk away. From the moment she phoned the NMC to lapse her registration to the waves of relief and fear that followed, she shares the inner shifts that pushed her from burnout and self-denial into a life that finally feels aligned.
We dive into what it really means to leave an identity behind, why so many of us cling to careers long past their expiry date, and how courage tends to arrive disguised as chaos. Rachael speaks candidly about the grief of walking away from a role she loved, the tenderness of meeting her true self for the first time, and the strange, shimmering space that opens up when you haven’t got a clue who you’re becoming yet.
Together we explore the delicate balance of living between worlds: the material and the spiritual, the logical and the intuitive, the woman she was and the woman she’s growing into. We unravel the fear of uncertainty, the impatience that so many of us carry, and the way self-inquiry can slowly soften the parts of us that are terrified of change. Rachael also talks about bringing heart into corporate wellbeing, working with vibration through chanting, and why self-kindness is often the thing that moves us from one world into the next.

Originally, the shaman wasn't a healer.
The shaman was a psychopomp, from Greek words meaning "guide of souls."
The one who creates bridges between the worlds. Between the living and the dead. Between this reality and the other side. Between what is seen and unseen.
Before shamans helped with illness or advised the tribe, their primary role was this: to es**rt souls. To help the dying cross over. To retrieve the living who got lost on the other side. To maintain the conversation between worlds.
They were the bridge itself. Standing with one foot in each reality, keeping the doorway open.
This is still the core of shamanic practice. Not fixing or healing in the modern sense, but creating bridges. Helping what needs to cross over, cross. Helping what needs to return, return.
Every soul retrieval is psychopomp work.
Every extraction is psychopomp work.
Every journey is walking between worlds.
Modern culture forgot we need these bridges. We act like death doesn't exist. Like dreams mean nothing. Like the ancestors are gone. Like we're alone in a dead universe.
Want to learn the original art of bridge-walking?

Something special coming on 7th February!
Cori from koaedinburgh and I, Giada from schoolofshamanism, are joining forces to bring you something we've never done before - a trauma-informed and shamanic approach to astral travel.
Why trauma-informed? Because when you start exploring beyond your body, stuff comes up. Old wounds. Stuck energy. Parts of you that left during difficult times.
Cori brings her incredible somatic expertise - she knows how to keep you grounded while you fly. I bring the shamanic techniques for safe journeying.
Together? We're creating a container where you can explore other dimensions while feeling completely held.
This isn't your usual "just visualize and go" workshop. We'll teach you:
Why some people struggle with astral travel
Techniques to stay anchored while exploring
February 7th, 10am-12pm link in bio and www.schoolofshamanism.co.uk
Edinburgh (Art & Spirituality Centre) + Online
Whether you're curious about astral travel or you've been spontaneously popping out of your body and need some guidance - this workshop is for you.

You might be a natural healer and not even know it.
That exhaustion after being in crowds? You're absorbing everyone's energy.
That friend who always calls you when they're struggling? They sense your gift.
That feeling of "knowing" what someone needs before they say it? That's not normal,that's healing ability.
Most natural healers spend years thinking they're "too sensitive" or "too emotional" when actually they're picking up on energy fields others can't even perceive.
Want to know for sure?
I've created a quick quiz that helps you discover your unique healing gifts: both for your own transformation and for helping others.
Takes 2 minutes. 12 simple yes/no questions.
You'll get:
✨ Your personalized healing profile
✨ Insight into your natural abilities
✨ Understanding of gifts you didn't know you had
✨ Clarity on why you feel things so deeply
It's completely free.
Because if you ARE a natural healer (and you probably are if this post stopped your scroll), you deserve to know. The world needs your medicine.

Sensitivity is not a weakness. It is a skill that requires protection.
When you are sensitive, you are naturally receptive. You feel more, perceive more, and often carry more than what is yours. This is why learning energetic and emotional protection is essential.
Not to close your heart, but to honour it.
Boundaries are not fixed; they are sophisticated. You may be strong in some situations and still learning in others.

In shamanic practice, merging is an act of deep permission.
It is the moment you allow an ally to work with you, consciously, respectfully, and with full presence.
Merging is not mediumship.You are never absent or taken over. You remain fully here, embodied, aware.
Through merging, you may work with:
• a power animal
• a helping spirit
• an ally that comes in many forms
This union strengthens your field. It supports protection, clarity, and grounded presence.
When you are merged and well-rooted.
Without grounding, the system can become vulnerable, energetically and physically.
