We invite lineage based healers and teachers from around the world to join us as colleagues, those seeking healing or to find balance during challenging times to make an appointment, and all those who are simply curious to learn more. Welcome to our global community!
We are about to be five years old! 🥁 🎉 🪇 May 2026
Published 17 days ago • 16 min read
Dear Shamanic Healers, Teachers, Colleagues, and New Friends,
"The number five symbolizes transformation and a dynamic shift from the stability of four to a new, adventurous phase. It signifies human individuality, and the balance of spiritual aspiration and grace.”
FIVE YEARS AROUND THE FIRE: A JOYOUS JOURNEY OF COMMUNITY, CEREMONY, AND GROWTH
As Shamans Directory approaches our five year anniversary, we find ourselves in a moment of reflection, gratitude, and renewed vision. What began as a dream to bring earth-based healers and teachers from around the world together around one virtual fire, has grown into something far greater than we could have imagined. In a world where many initiatives and organizations struggle to reach the five-year mark, we recognize this milestone not as an endpoint, but as an exciting new beginning. Today, Shamans Directory is proud to be a globally respected platform, rooted in relationship, integrity, and a shared commitment to healing. These first five years have been a time of listening, learning, building trust, and laying a strong foundation. And now, with that foundation in place, we can feel the excitement and momentum of a broader vision unfolding. Shamans Directory is more than a Directory. It is a gathering place for lineage-based healers and teachers from across cultures and continents. A place where traditions are honored, where relationships are valued, where the work is not about visibility alone, but about responsibility — to the teachings, to the communities they come from, and to the Earth herself. At the heart of our work is a deep respect for all who have safeguarded the ways of living in balance with life through generations of change and challenge. We recognize the courage it takes to walk this path today — to remain in right relationship with ancestral teachings while navigating a rapidly changing world. We honor the commitment, humility, and devotion required to carry this wisdom and we are deeply grateful to those who have chosen to stand with us — to join us with open hearts, and trust in what we are creating together. This Directory exists because of them: Because of their willingness to be seen in a way that honors their work, their communities, and their lineages. Because of their care in ensuring that what is shared with the world is done with integrity, clarity, and respect. Because of their incredible generosity to serve not only their own communities, but as bridges within the global community as well. As a human family we are facing unprecedented challenges — ecological imbalance, cultural fragmentation, and a growing sense of separation from one another and Spirit. At Shamans Directory, we know that the healing that is required can only happen if we do it together. In relationship with the land, with our ancestors and with one another. This month we invite you to join us for our free Live Online Events and to explore other offerings from the Shamans Directory Team and the greater shamanic community.

SHAMANS DIRECTORY LIVE ONLINE EVENTS
Meet shamanic lineage-based colleagues from around the world at our twice monthly online community gatherings.
WALKING SACRED LANDS WITH INTENTION | LIVE ONLINE EVENT Meeting Pachamama: A Sacred Journey Home
There are moments in life when something deeper calls us. An inner knowing in the heart that there is more to discover about ourselves and the world around us. Sacred travel is not about escaping life. It is about stepping more fully into it. When we visit sacred lands with intention, something within us begins to shift: the noise softens, the heart opens, and the spirit remembers.
We warmly invite you to join Medicine Woman Magaly Quispe Singona from the Qanchis Illya Rainbow Lineage, beloved sister of Master Puma Fredy Quispe Singona of Noqan Kani and PumAdventures, for a beautiful teaching about her relationship with the sacred lands of Peru.
In the Andean traditions, the land is alive. The earth, Pachamama, holds us, teaches us, and receives us. When we enter these lands with respect, reverence, and presence, we are welcomed as family. And in that welcoming, something within us is restored. We come home to ourselves. Home to the Earth. Home to love.
These teachings are not taken out of context — they are meant for all of us. They are living traditions, carried with integrity, humility, and devotion. As we heal, we contribute to something greater. Our personal healing ripples outward into our families, our communities, and the world.
To walk these lands with those who belong to them, who have tended these relationships for generations, is something truly special. And it is a privilege to open that doorway for those who feel called.
This event is offered freely. No preregistration is required.
Your support helps this work to continue. Together, we are powerful medicine.™️
RUNE MYTH AND MAGIC | LIVE ONLINE EVENT
Meet a True Rune Magician
With Magical Author and Artist Imelda Almqvist
Saturday 23 May 2026
8am PDT / 11am EDT / 5pm CET
Approximately 90 minutes
Step into the world of rune magic, myth, and living symbols with Shamans Directory Ambassador Imelda Almqvist — author, artist, teacher, and Forest Witch devoted to Northern European spiritual traditions. From her school in Sweden, where the forest meets the Baltic Sea, Imelda teaches Seiðr, sacred art, and shamanic practices for both adults and children. We are delighted to invite you to this special live online event, dedicated to her latest book, Portals, Patterns and Pathways: A Handbook for Rune Magicians, Star Gazers and Myth Makers — a long-awaited deep dive into the runes of the Elder Futhark.
Imelda will introduce the runes not merely as an ancient alphabet, but as living glyphs infused with spirit and intelligence — powerful allies for divination and insight, supporting us in navigating life with greater awareness and conscious choice.
During this immersive session, she will share the lineage and foundations of rune magic within Old Norse traditions, explore the connection between runes, myth, and cosmic patterns, reveal how runes map a mythic and imaginal realm through archetypes, alchemical, and symbolic language. She will also offer a few live rune readings, and of course, there will be an open space for questions and answers.
The runes are portals, messengers from the unseen realms, and gateways into a deeper relationship with self and spirit. Whether you are new to rune work or already walking this path, this gathering is sure to offer inspiration, insight, and a meaningful connection to this ancestral tool.
Join us for a journey into myth, magic, and the wisdom of the runes.
This event is offered freely. No pre-registration is required

SHAMANS DIRECTORY ADDITIONAL OFFERINGS
We are gently expanding our offerings at Shamans Directory to include online classes, sacred travel opportunities and on-demand courses.
SHAMANIC WISDOM & MEDICINE | IN-PERSON WORKSHOPS
Teaching, Ceremony, and Visioning Shamanic Circles with Taita Itzhak Beery Thursday and Sunday 14 & 17 May 2026 Amsterdam, NETHERLANDS
You are warmly invited to join us for these teaching days, to take part in an Amazonian tea ceremony and journey into vision, clarity, and sacred dreaming with elder and shaman Taita Itzhak Beery.
Now in his mid-70s, Itzhak carries a wealth of wisdom he lovingly shares and brings a remarkably vibrant energy. You are sure to receive new insights and practices, and to feel welcomed into a gentle and nurturing container.
Shamanic Palm Wisdom: Foundational Workshop, 14 May
Learn how to interpret the patterns and wisdom held within the hands. Discover the four elemental hand types, the meaning of the Sun and Moon mounds, and what the major lines and markings reveal about ourselves. The more we understand palm wisdom as a blueprint of ourselves the more this practice can become a valuable diagnostic tool.
Night Watchman: Guayusa Tea Ceremony, 14 May
Step into a magical evening of vision and connection as we journey with the gentle plant ally of Guayusa dream tea, awakening our senses to the mystery of the night and the possibilities of the future. Explore dreamtime, expand awareness, and envision the path forward.
The Sacred Garden: A Shamanic Soul Journey, 17 May
Shamanic wisdom teaches that the world is shaped by how we dream it. When we change the inner terrain, the outer world begins to respond. Learn to communicate with your inner garden, and gain insight and clarity. When we tend to the garden — removing, planting, restoring, or reshaping — and the garden begins to change, so too does our lived experience and the way we see the world around us.
No prior shamanic training is required to enter this work. Only curiosity and a willingness to explore are needed.
SACRED SEVEN IN ANDEAN COSMOLOGY | ONLINE COURSE A Series of Seven Teachings With Pampamesayoq Medicine Man Wilbert Salas Atasi and Special Guest Don Mariano Quispe Flores
A Shamans Directory Online Course Offering
Wednesdays and Saturdays beginning 20 May 2026
In the Andean mystical traditions, the sacred number seven, known as Qanchis in Quechua, is reflected throughout both the natural and spiritual worlds.
With a shared devotion for the Andean cosmology and living ancestral traditions, Wilbert and Mayumi are honored to present this new Shamans Directory teaching series. For those who are called, these teachings offer an opportunity to deepen both understanding and embodied practice.
We are also honored to welcome esteemed Kurak Aqulleq (Elder) Don Mariano Quispe Flores as a guest teacher. Now in his mid-eighties, he carries a lifetime of wisdom rooted in the Q’eros traditions. His presence embodies love, vitality, and profound knowledge, bringing connection and inspiration wherever he goes.
This seven session online course includes a journey through:
Qanchis Punkus — the seven energetic gates of the body Qanchis Waras — the seven inner layers of Pachamama Qanchis Apus — the seven sacred mountain spirits Qanchis Ñustas — the seven powerful goddesses Qanchis Paqarinas — the seven springs of new life Qanchis Phunchay Hampiy — the seven days of healing Qanchis Chaska — the seven stars of the Pleiades
Whether you are new or experienced, you are warmly invited. No prior training or Mesa is required — only an open heart and sincere curiosity.
Recordings will be available for those who wish to review or cannot attend live.
In shamanic earth-based traditions, divination is an essential part of the practice. The art of seeing, tracking, and interpreting the signs that Spirit offers allows us to receive insights into situations, perceive potential blockages, and open pathways toward our authentic path.
Mama Coca is a sacred plant within the Andean traditions — a guide for divination, healing, offerings, and spiritual connection. In this intimate series of 4 online classes, Master Alfredo Huayta Singona, of the Qanchis Illya Rainbow Lineage and Noqan Kani, shares his lived wisdom, knowledge, and experience in communing with the oracle of Mama Coca.
Together, we will open the ceremonial dimensions of coca divination, exploring the mystery and tradition of this sacred plant. We will listen to the subtle language of Spirit through the coca leaves — and learn how the anatomy, forms, colors, and patterns of the leaves reveal insights into the physical and emotional body, the past and the future, and the presence of harmonious or challenging energies.
As with all sacred paths, the journey with Mama Coca unfolds over time. This course is an invitation to begin or deepen your relationship with Mama Coca and to walk in conscious dialogue with Spirit. If you do not have access to coca leaves, bay leaves or other leaves can also be used. We warmly welcome you into this sacred circle of learning and connection!
Recordings will be available for those who wish to review or cannot attend live.
A Call to Travel Differently Caral and Chavín de Huántar (Huaraz) and Seven Rays (Sacred Valley) With PumAdventures and Mayumi Beckers
July 2026 — Choose one or both!
Something shifts when we are welcomed by sacred places, we begin to welcome and embrace ourselves, and return to what is essential.
This July, we welcome you to experience a different kind of travel — one that is not simply about visiting new places, but about returning to an inner alignment from which you can be of true service to the world around you.
Together with PumAdventures, we invite you for two sacred journeys in Peru. Guided by the medicine men and women of the Qanchis Illya Rainbow Lineage of Noqan Kani, led by Master Puma Fredy Quispe Singona and his wonderful family, all are welcome.
10–17 July | Caral & Chavín de Huántar (Huaraz) A Journey into Ancient Consciousness
Long before modern civilization, there were sacred places designed to awaken. Caral, one of the oldest known centres of civilization in the Americas, and Chavín de Huántar, a powerful ceremonial site, are understood as sacred spaces where sound, architecture, and cosmic alignment were woven together to open gateways of perception. Through connection with the sacred, you are invited to allow your inner compass to realign, and the gifts of your medicine path to become clear.
19–28 July | Journey of the Seven Rays (Sacred Valley) A Journey of Light and Activation
In the Andean traditions, the rainbow has profound meaning and is a map of consciousness, connected to the seven stars of the Pleiades and the seven energetic centers within the sacred temple of our physical and energetic body. Each ray represents an energetic pathway within us, that can be awakened, and expressed. Held in the Sacred Valley, this journey invites you to activate and strengthen these inner rays — for greater refinement, expansion, and stepping forward as who you truly are.
When the calling arises and your heart feels yes, trust the path that opens before you. For further details, email healing@mayumi.life
Each month, we are honored to share a selection of offerings from the wider global shamanic community, as an invitation to explore, learn, and connect with shamanic cultures across the world.
THE HEALING FIELD | IN PERSON RETREAT
You Came to Remember that Your Light is Infinite A 6-Day Shamanic Immersion With Roel Crabbé 22-28 May 2026 Koningsteen BELGIUM
Welcome to The Healing Field Initiation, a profound six-day ceremonial immersion guided by Shamans Directory Ambassador Roel Crabbé, an experienced practitioner whose work has been shaped by nearly three decades of devotion to shamanic healing, ceremony, and direct relationship with Spirit.
This is not a workshop in the conventional sense. It is an initiation, a space where you are invited to step beyond doing, and into being — into a deeper alignment with what Roel describes as the Healing Field: a living, intelligent presence that guides, restores, and transforms when we allow ourselves to become receptive to it.
Throughout this immersion you will be held within a carefully woven ceremonial container that includes purification practices, breathwork journeys, body-based rituals, and group healing ceremonies. Accompanied by multi-instrumentalist Patrik Niels, the work is supported through sound, rhythm, and sacred song, creating a field in which individual and collective healing can unfold.
This immersion invites you into a form of body-based spirituality, where the healing frequency is not something you reach for, but something you allow to move through your entire being. Through this process, many experience a deep release of what has been held, a reconnection with inner clarity, and a renewed sense of alignment with their path and purpose.
This offering is open to those who feel a sincere call, whether you are a practitioner, a seeker, or simply standing at a threshold in your life and ready to listen more deeply.
The Healing Field retreats are known to fill quickly and space is limited to preserve the integrity of the work. If you feel called, we invite you to follow that call with care.
SHAMAN-HEALER | ONLINE TRAINING Siberian Shamanism Learn to Heal Yourself and Others A Year Long Immersive Training With Ahamkara Begins 6 June 2026
In times of global uncertainty, many are turning to ancient traditions for guidance, healing, and deeper connection. Shamanism is rooted in the understanding that each of us carries innate wisdom and the ability to connect with the spiritual and natural worlds.
But what if a true healer already lives within you? Someone who can perceive the deeper causes of imbalance, work with subtle energies, and support healing for both yourself and others.
Many of us feel this potential, yet continue searching outside ourselves, not realizing that the greatest source of power has always been within. This is an invitation to step into the path of authentic Siberian shamanism through a one-year immersive online journey guided by Shamans Directory Ambassador Ahamkara, who brings decades of experience.
This training offers more than theory — it is a practical, experiential path where you gradually become a channel for authentic shamanic healing. Through direct experience, ritual, trance work, spirit communication, and ancestral practices, you will learn to restore balance, receive guidance, and deepen your connection to the unseen world.
This course is for those ready to move beyond curiosity into embodied practice: from “this is interesting” to “I am walking this path.” If you have been hearing a quiet inner voice calling you toward healing, perhaps this is your moment.
At the heart of all shamanic practices remains the core intentions — to foster a connection with oneself, cultivate intuitive abilities, connect with the world of Spirit, and be of service. Are you ready to awaken the healer within?
THE JAPAN CONVERGENCE 2026 | SOLSTICE CEREMONIAL GATHERTING Remembering Our Place Within the Living World Hosted by Kako Earth and Cosmaloka Honoring the Solstice, 20-26 June 2026 Tenkawa, Nara JAPAN
On the Summer Solstice of 2026, wisdom keepers, elders, and timekeepers from across the Pacific Rim will gather in Japan for a rare and sacred convergence marking the opening of a new 26,000-year cycle.
This gathering is more than an event; it is a prayer in action. A uniting of ancient lineages at a pivotal moment for humanity, as we stand between cycles — closing one era of imbalance and consciously stepping into another rooted in harmony, reciprocity, and reverence for life.
Following a historic gathering in Tikal in 2025, where a global council of spiritual leaders completed a great cycle of time, a vow was made to reconvene in Japan. Now, at the water temple of Tenkawa, with the sacred presence of Mount Fuji, this intention comes to life.
At the heart of the Convergence are 50 ancestral knowledge holders carrying living traditions, ceremonial practices, and guidance for this emerging era. Together, they will tend sacred fire, offer prayer, and share wisdom to support a realignment with the Earth and the greater cycles that sustain life.
The symbol of this gathering, the Ouroboros, the serpent forming a living circle, reminds us that all endings are beginnings. That renewal is inherent in the great turning of time.
As the longest day of light unfolds, this Convergence becomes an invocation: a collective remembering of our place within the living world.
Witness, support, or join this profound moment of global unity — where ancient memory, sacred land, and future possibility meet.
Recommended by Shamans Directory Members Jay and Sweetie Bird, this beautifully woven story-poem invites readers of all ages into a gentle, living relationship with the natural world.
Written in both Anishinaabemowin and English, this lyrical book follows a child and her grandmother as they move together through the seasons, listening, observing, and delighting in the rhythms of life all around them.
Through warm summer days full of wildflowers, bees and blueberries, then fall, when bears feast before hibernation and forest mushrooms are ripe for harvest. Winter mornings begin in darkness as deer, mice and other animals search for food, while spring brings green shoots poking through melting snow and the chirping of peepers.
Brittany Luby and Mangeshig Pawis-Steckley have created a book inspired by childhood memories of time spent with Elders, observing and living in relationship with the natural world in the place they call home ― the northern reaches of Anishinaabewaking, around the Great Lakes.
Whether shared between generations or explored quietly on one’s own, this book offers a simple and profound return to what is already here: the beauty of the seasons, the wisdom of the land, and the joy of being in relationship with all that is. For more language learning fun, look up "Ojibwe Word of the Day" in your favorite search engine.
