Your Journey of Personal Evolution
our Journey of Personal Evolution is as inevitable as Birth and Death. What you make of the journey is up to you, and you come equipped with everything you need to make it powerful, exciting, and fun.

The classes, workshops and consulting that I do for individuals and groups are based on training and experience in my own Journey. The tools and techniques are not new ... the most effective ones have been used for thousands of years. Some have been devalued and misunderstood by our culture, but they are very effective nonetheless.

The task and challenge is to find a pathway through life that is consistent with your own authenticity and individuality – to combine intelligence and intellect with spiritual guidance. The truth is that one without the other does not lead to wholeness.

Teacher/Facilitator
My approach is to teach people what I know and provide opportunities for them to access their own internal wisdom and guidance systems ... in essence, to put myself out of a job. In that regard, I am more of a Teacher/Facilitator in classes, workshops and personal/group work.

If you would like a personal session or to join in any workshop or group event, please see my calendar.

All work is experience-based, recognizing the ancient wisdom that learning is experience first, dialog afterward. Context is critical for learning and assimilation of content. This is true for classes, workshops AND individual and group counseling.

Essentially, you are your own best teacher, based on your experience, inner knowing and intuition. You have sources of wisdom of which you may be unaware. My intention is to point you ... to yourself.

I look forward to meeting you in the near future.


– Gerry Starnes, M.Ed.

Shamanic Passages
Contemporary shamanism is the application of ancient wisdom to daily contemporary issues. The Passages are a body of techniques, methods and philosophy that build upon that particular world view. The intention is to provide experiences, understanding and tools to bring Spirit into everyday life.

The Shamanic Passages include:
TranceDance
Shamanic (Drumming) Journey
Spirit Journey / Soul Retrieval
Shamanic Workshops

Returning Warriors
The Returning Warriors program, sponsored by the Ravens Grove Foundation for Healing, was created to combine proven shamanic treatment modalities with traditional therapies to address the serious and growing problem of veterans struggling with the effects of PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder).

In addition to creating and presenting retreats, workshops and supportive groupwork, we are also offering training programs for those interested in participating as facilitators in their own areas and communities.

See the Returning Warriors site for more details on this program.

If you would like to support this program financially and sponsor a returning veteran, contributions and donations ARE tax deductible. Please see the Foundation Website for details.
