Narrye Caldwell, MTCM, LAC
Forty years later I had the good fortune to discover the Foundation for Shamanic Studies. After taking the Basic Workshop I knew I had found my spiritual home and true work. The methods I learned through the Foundations programs over the next 15 years changed my life.
But in spite of this rich life, there was always a missing piece. It is only with hindsight that I now see that piece so clearly; the deep connection with nature and spirits that was so vivid for me as a child was absent. As I gradually restored those lost connections through my work in core shamanism, I knew that this path was not only key to revitalizing my own healing practice and spiritual life, but was also crucial to the work of saving our endangered planet.
I have been studying core shamanism through the Foundation for the past 15 years, and have completed the advanced trainings and initiations, including the Two Week Shamanic Healing Intensive and the Three Year Program of Advanced Initiations in Shamanism and Shamanic Healing. I currently have a private practice devoted to shamanic healing, in addition to my work in Chinese medicine.
I am honored to have the opportunity to be a part of the FSS faculty. In addition, I continue to be faculty at Five Branches University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and teach Tai Chi and Qigong through the Academy of Martial Arts in my home town of Santa Cruz, California.
