 Since the dawn of time, humans have looked to nature and the environment for guidance and understanding of the forces of Nature and Spirit.
A haunting and powerful Spirit resides within each of us: The Shadow. It is represented in mythology and shamanic tradition as a fearsome - perhaps frightening - presence. Yet the gifts it brings are among the most powerful.
The Power Animals Workshops focus on the ancient shamanic tradition of communication with Spirit through the medium of spiritual representatives, such as animals and spirit guides. They explore communication with Spirit through dialog, discussion and shamanic journey.
The Shadow Animal Workshop allows participants to identify and experience their Shadow animal through the shamanic journey and TranceDance rituals.

Facilitator
Gerry Starnes, M.Ed. began his practice working in residential treatment, using both psychological and
medical treatment models in the mid-1970s. Finding the results of these
modalities limited, he began a 20-year journey through energy healing
and other alternative methods of healing.
In the 1990s he encountered shamanism, and found it to be the most powerful
methodology for healing in all the realms. As a contemporary shamanic practitioner,
he now offers group and individual sessions, holds regular classes, and presents
a variety of workshops in Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio.
Gerry is a Founding Member of the Society of Shamanic Practitioners, and Executive
Director of Ravens
Grove Foundation for Healing.
