Hello, I am Ursula
Firstly I would like to thank my teachers and their teachers who have made these ancient sacred teachings available.
My teachers so far have been Evelyn Brodie CLICK HERE and George Christie CLICK HERE of Temenos Touch. Evelyn trained with Alberto Vilolldo from Four Winds Society CLICK HERE. I have also trained with Simon Buxton of Sacred Trust CLICK HERE. I am currently training with Joan Parisi Wilcox CLICK HERE author of Masters of the Living Energy, The Mystical World of the Q’ero of Peru. Joan has dedicated her life to preserving and teaching the purity of the Inca lineage from the high Andes. Prior to this I trained as a complementary therapist in a range of therapies including massage, reflexology, aromatherapy, nutrition and yoga (hatha and kundalini).
After close to 15 years on and off the spiritual path I finally listened to the call of the shamanic path in 2017, since my first interaction with a shaman in 2005. You don’t chose this path, it chooses you. It comes with great responsibility, hard work and changes and challenges almost every aspect of your life. Shamanism is not a path of gurus it is a path of direct revelation. In my own training I have had to face a steep descent into my most deep seated fears, my own karmic baggage, family karma and my daily human struggles. It is a lifelong path of self mastery and remembering who you really are, a drop of the great mystery and that your life is a gift from the cosmos. Now I am helping others peel back layers as I continue on this lifelong path of self discovery, mastery, learning and spiritual development. This is not an easy path but it is deeply rewarding and transformative if you do the work.
In my day job I work and have trained as a mental health social worker for an inner city London Borough, I am also an approved mental health professional and work within psychiatric and general hospitals assessing individuals who are acutely mentally unwell, key to my practice is a commitment to human rights understanding various legal frameworks, social models of mental health and the multiple social racial and cultural disparities that can be involved in a persons situation.
