The Shamanic Path Becomes Real When We Practice
~Gwendolyn C. Natusch, B.S.Ed., M.Ed., MSW
There is a difference between being interested in a spiritual path and actually living one. We can read spiritual books, attend workshops, feel deeply connected to nature, and have moments that open us to something greater. All of these things can begin an awakening. But eventually every spiritual path asks something more of us: Will we enter into relationship with what we have discovered?
Shamanism is rooted in direct experience. It is not simply a collection of beliefs about Spirit, nature, healing, or unseen worlds. We learn by practicing. We journey. We listen. We ask. We receive. Over time, what was once an idea becomes something alive within our own lives.
I believe there are many people awakening today and many who feel drawn toward a spiritual path. What I have witnessed through nearly forty years of shamanic practice is that some sincere seekers never quite make the crossing into direct relationship with Spirit. They attend workshops, read beautiful books, gather teachings, and become familiar with spiritual ideas, yet the heart of the path sometimes remains just beyond reach.
The difference, I believe, is practice. Without practice, we can remain seekers indefinitely. We can learn about healing without entering deeply into our own healing. We can speak about Spirit without developing an intimate relationship with Spirit. Practice is where the path becomes active and where healing, creativity, growth, purpose, and greater self-understanding begin to reveal themselves.
One of the first initiations on any spiritual path is deceptively simple: we must make time for it. Not someday. Not only when we are in crisis. We choose a place in our lives where spiritual practice is allowed to live. The exact amount of time matters less than the commitment to return, although we also need enough spaciousness to move beyond the surface of ordinary consciousness, to become quiet, settle, and listen.
This is especially important in shamanism because we learn to shift consciousness. We have been trained to think, analyze, explain, and understand, but there are ways of knowing that cannot be reached through thinking alone. We bring awareness into the body, the breath, the present moment, silence, and listening.
In shamanism, one of our primary practices is journeying. We journey with intention, and something remarkable begins to happen: Spirit teaches us. Not only through books or teachers, but directly. We begin to develop our own relationship with helping spirits, Power Animals, teachers, ancestors, the Earth, and the unseen world.
The teachings become personal. They begin to address our wounds, relationships, gifts, fears, patterns, possibilities, and the mystery of why we are here. We begin to understand ourselves as spiritual beings living a human life on this wild, astonishing, painful, beautiful planet.
You do not have to make the practice complicated. Create sacred space. Sit down. Pick up your drum or play journey music. Set your intention and journey. When you return, write down what you experienced. Over time, these writings become a record of your own relationship with the Divine.
Return again and again. Choose a time that becomes your time with Spirit and protect it. Eventually the journey becomes a doorway you know how to enter. You learn how to quiet the mind, listen deeply, receive, and return.
When you meet a Power Animal or helping spirit, do not simply collect the experience and move on. Return. Ask questions. Listen. Spend time together. Build the relationship. Gradually you begin learning the language of Spirit, a language of images, feelings, animals, dreams, symbols, landscapes, synchronicities, silence, sensation, and sometimes words. At first this language may feel unfamiliar. Over time, you may realize it has been speaking to you throughout your entire life.
Make the commitment wherever you are right now. You do not have to feel enlightened or completely healed. You do not have to know where the path is leading. Begin where you are. The world does not simply need more people interested in spirituality. It needs people who are in relationship with the Earth, with Spirit, with one another, with the unseen world, and with their own souls.
Perhaps the Mystery we call God, Great Spirit, Divine Love, the Universe, or by countless other names has never been very far away. Perhaps the journey is not about finding something that has been absent but becoming quiet enough and present enough to recognize that we have been living inside the sacred all along.
Every time we return to the drum, the journey, prayer, ceremony, the Earth, or the quiet place where we listen, the relationship deepens. Eventually spiritual practice stops being something we occasionally do and begins changing the way we live.
Journey. Listen. Build the relationship.
Record what you receive. Integrate it.
Live it.
That is where the path becomes medicine.

Shamanic Foundations as a Personal Spiritual Practice:
An Ongoing Monthly Gathering
with Gwendolyn C. Natusch, B.S.Ed., M.Ed., MSW
| |
Sunday September 6th, 2026
1:00pm - 4:00pm
Across cultures and throughout history, shamanism has offered human beings a path of healing, inner exploration, spiritual connection, and relationship with the living world. At its heart, shamanism is not simply something to study intellectually, but a practice of direct experience, awareness, and personal transformation.
This ongoing monthly gathering is designed as an introduction to the foundations of shamanism as a personal spiritual practice and is open to both beginners and those wishing to deepen their understanding of foundational shamanic concepts and practices.
Together we will explore:
• The foundational philosophy and worldview of shamanism
• Developing a personal spiritual practice
• Nature connection and relationship with the living world
• Grounding, energetic awareness, and spiritual protection
• Journeying and altered states of consciousness
• Power animals, spirit allies, and symbolic guidance
• Intuition, signs, and synchronicity
• Healing practices and spiritual self-care
• The role of ceremony, ritual, and intention
• Personal growth, healing, and inner transformation
This monthly gathering is intended to be experiential, thoughtful, grounded, and welcoming. Participants will have opportunities for discussion, reflection, questions, and shared exploration within a respectful and supportive environment. The work during our gatherings is one that fosters inner healing, shifted perceptions and transforming wounds at the root level.
Come and meet your guides and power animal.
Come to find respite and peaceful reflection.
Come to transform & heal; to learn the tools to do just that in your own life!
Whether you are spiritually curious, beginning a healing journey, or seeking to deepen your relationship with Spirit and the natural world, you are warmly welcome

Shamanic Journey Circle
Thursday September 17th, 2026
6:30PM – 9:00PM
In this monthly gathering we will share discussions on shamanism and have an experience of journeying to discover your power animal, connect with your guides, receive guidance, healing and revelations!
The Shamanic Journey ~ The Gateway to Non-Ordinary Reality
Journeying is a method for developing a personal connection to the Divine and a direct communication from the Divine to you! Shamanic journeying is the art of using rhythm and intention to enter an altered state of consciousness in order to connect with the spiritual dimension of reality.
Journeying is similar to meditation. In many ways shamanic journeying is a type of meditation, but there are pieces to the process that differentiate it from meditation.
The Journey Process
1. We begin by preparing ourselves and the space for the journey experience.
-smudging to clear our energy and space
-opening sacred space
-setting intention for the journey ahead
2. We move through a relaxation activity to move into a quieter mind. This allows participants to alter their state of mind and to begin the active journey into the spiritual/non-ordinary realms.
3. Then we journey to the beat of the drum; the heartbeat of Mother Earth.
4. When the journey is complete there is time to write down what was experienced.
5. Opportunity to share in the group what was experienced in the journey is offered
This group is a monthly, ongoing gathering. All that is shared in the circle is considered sacred and confidential.
The Whispered Path Shamanic Journey Circle invites you to journey through this safe, reliable, and transformative shamanic technique; journeying. Once you have mastered this simple process you will have a spiritual tool that will serve you for the rest of your life.
Come and join us in this monthly gathering!
We look forward to seeing you!

Finding Your Sacred Purpose
Listening for the Life You Are Being Called to Live
with Gwendolyn C. Natusch, B.S.Ed., M.Ed., MSW
| | |
What if your purpose has been revealing itself to you all along?
In this experiential workshop, we will look back across the landscape of your life to discover the threads that have been quietly pointing toward who you are and what you are here to bring into the world. Through guided reflection, sharing, meditation, and a powerful life-review process, you will explore your successes, passions, loves, natural strengths, accomplishments, and the things you have repeatedly been drawn toward.
So often we move through life without fully claiming what is already ours. We minimize our gifts, overlook what we have accomplished, or fail to recognize the patterns that have been guiding us. In this workshop, we will gather those pieces and begin weaving them into the fabric of how you understand yourself.
When we follow the trail of what has genuinely interested us, inspired us, delighted us, and come naturally to us, something begins to emerge. Our passions and natural proclivities can become signposts, revealing a path that may have been present beneath our feet for years.
We will gather.
We will reflect.
We will share.
We will meditate.
And we will create space to see ourselves with new eyes.
You may leave not with a single sentence declaring what your purpose is, but with something richer: a deeper recognition of your gifts, a clearer understanding of the path your life has already been showing you, and a new willingness to claim the person you have become. These are the golden nuggets that glow at the entrance to your purposeful path!
Come and find the golden nuggets leading you to your purposeful path!
