Our mission is to facilitate shamanic experience and provide counseling using earth-based self realization, for a healthy mind, body, soul, and spirit. The caretakers of the Sanctuary, Gary (Grandfather Mowgli) and his partner, Beverly, maintain an organic garden and take care of rescue animals. This beautiful setting facilitates healing even before any human therapeutic intervention begins.
Just driving down the driveway into the woods is an invitation to let go of the stress of the so-called modern world. If you call for a telephone session, picture Gary sitting in the middle of the sacred forest listening with a nonjudgmental open heart.

A Shaman is a 'walker between worlds'. Gary does not claim to be a shaman - however, through his personal experience he is able to traverse other worlds consciously, and to facilitate others to do the same. There are many worlds, both conscious and unconscious, in and out of time. The model of health Gary works with is one in which all of these worlds are balanced, in which we know who we are, regardless of where we are and what's happening.
The changes in our lives-biological, social, and emotional-are milestones that need to be acknowledged. Births, deaths, unions, and accomplishments, have been ritualized and ceremonialized in all cultures. It's important to design these ceremonies from our hearts and our deepest understanding of the way our lives and the lives of others are affected by these changes.
You are amazing, Grandfather! Another fantastic Shamanic Priest workshop this weekend! I am most grateful to you for helping me to focus on my inner journey and choose and achieve the places I want to be on the continuum of the archetypes common to all men! You are a blessing to me, to so many and to the planet at a time your energy and wisdom are sorely needed!
