Guest: Lauri Shainsky, Ph. D., Sh. D. | Shamanic Sound Healer

In this video, Colleen and Robyn welcome Lauri Shainsky.  You can experience some different Shamanic Sounds. Shamanic Sound with a metal bowl and crystal wand. “Raised by redwoods” in Northern California, Lauri's formative years spent at camp set her trajectory for a life committed to Nature. She began facilitating mountain camp adventures in 1978, during which she ceremonially vowed to commit her life to serving others and Earth. Lauri’s time studying ecology (BA from UCLA, MS from UC Davis & Ph.D from OSU) expanded her insights and awe of Nature and Her profoundly intricate perfection. Lauri’s sacred vow led her to start a nonprofit organization teaching young people and adults about ecology in the outdoors. There she enjoyed teaching birding by ear and bird language, animal tracking, terrestrial and stream ecology. Her Portland State University professorship in education and service-learning expanded innovations in outdoor education. In 1998 Lauri dove deeply into spirituality at LightSong School of Shamanic Studies, along with Michael Harner, Tom Cowan, and Betsy Bergstrom. She furthered her sound related studies with Tom Kenyon and Jonathan Goldman.  For two decades, Lauri carried the songs for LightSong, taught shamanic sound healing and became one of the primary elders for the school. She continues to teach courses, lead ceremony, and see clients.  You can find her at:  http://shamanicsoundhealing.com. Lauri has a rich body of shamanic sound work that seeks to help people curate their own spiritual development, healing, and transformation. Her spirit-guided sound art contributes to shifts in our physical and metaphysical lives, and provides soundtracks for personal ceremony and celebration. She has recorded 6 albums and will be recording her 7th one this month, for those who are supporting others in the processes of dying. Many of her sound art pieces can be found on:  http://Soundcloud.com/redstonesong https://www.youtube.com/@soulnoteshamanicsoundheali3321   *DISCLAIMER* This episode is not a substitute for seeking professional medical care but is offered for relaxation and stress reduction which support the body’s natural healing capabilities.
