Dream Weavings by Shilo is shamanic art and power expressed through the creative gifts of beading and fabric quilting. At your request Shilo will collaborate with you by journeying to her teachers to create a one of a kind beaded object or quilt.
My dear friend, Shilo “Morning Star” Satran, has been practicing earth-based spirituality all of her life. Granddaughter of Norman Nadeau, a native Chippewa, she grew up with great love and respect of the natural world. Shilo shares her heart felt gifts as a shamanic counselor, healer and artist. She lives with her family in Colorado where she offers coaching (healing) sessions, flower essences and shamanic workshops.
Future Way   Margarite Batease is a natural healer, working at soul level. She taught me some of the core methods of spiritual healing I use in my practice today.  Her unique energy creates a vehicle for 'soul path clearing'. This allows the recipient to evolve at an accelerated rate. In August 1999, Margarite was prompted to move to the outskirts of Asheville, NC where she now runs a small center. People can stay for private guidance work, or to attend one of the teachings. These include Soul Path Healing and Soul Path Clearing seminars.
Solutions Center for Personal Growth and Soul Studies Institute 
This wonderful healing and educational center is run by my dear friend Wendy Limber, LMFT.

This is the place for people who are ready to transform their lives, heal the past, create a future of peace, joy, happiness, abundance, freedom and love.
The Hoffman Quadrinity Process is an 8-day retreat that empowers you to resolve previously immovable blocks to healthy relationships, self-knowledge, emotional freedom, and radiant spirituality. It is based on the principle that persistent negative behaviors, moods, and attitudes experienced in adulthood have their roots in the experiences and conditioning of childhood which we call the Negative Love Syndrome. Until this conditioning is understood and resolved, it continues to undermine our adult lives. The Hoffman Process is designed to heal and transform these negative, self-defeating patterns and bring about a powerful realignment and integration of four fundamental dimensions of our being — intellect, emotions, body, and spirit.
Imago Therapy for Couples and Singles
Okay you decided to walk down a spiritual path and your 'significant other' hasn't caught up with you. May be kicking and screaming. You want them to change because you are changed. You may need to seek marriage counseling.
Conscious, committed partnerships are rare today because marriage is hard work. The "Imago" is the unconscious composite image of our mothers and fathers that we bring into our marriages. It is the shadow energy that goes unconscious in childhood; and shows up in our marriage asking for healing.
When not addressed couples create power struggles and control dramas trying to get these unresolved childhood needs met. We recreate these dynamics in all of our relationships (marriage, children, friendships). It takes strength and courage to commit, to love and to not walk away. In my soul retrieval work with clients the wounds of divorce are great and may last a lifetime so I am a strong supporter of the Imago process. Marriage cannot be analyzed by theorists and practiced on clients without the spiritual component. Marriage is a spiritual path and the essential first step is for each partner to say:
I will never leave you. I will never threaten to leave you. And if even the thought of leaving takes root in my mind, I will use whatever means necessary to eradicate it. And no matter how often it recurs, I will return my mind to my single purpose in this relationship. The insanity of casting aside lives, breaking up homes and betraying children will end with us.  -I Will Never Leave You by Hugh and Gayle Prather, p. 21)
Say that a few times to yourself and see what emotional trash comes up. . . lol
Getting the Love You Want by Harville Hendrix starts by saying these three little words "Is there more?" If you are in a relationship with someone you love, and you call my office for guidance I will refer you to an Imago trained therapist and recommend attending Imago's weekend program "Getting the Love You Want" facilitated by Rick Brown. This process is offered across the country. Check out their web site for more information. Your children will thank you for it.

Here is a great article I found from an imago therapist on selecting a marriage counselor << click here >>

Psychotherapy: The shamanic counseling I offer to you may come at the beginning, middle or at the end of your therapy. Shamanic healing and coaching is a spiritual method of divination; a system that follows ancient principles of shamanism, not of psychology or other Western systems.  It is not derived from one specific cultural or ethnic tradition, but is based on core principles and especially adapted for use in contemporary society. This method of spiritual healing has as its goal life-enlightenment, not the treatment of psychopathology or pathological diseases. It is a process developed and taught Dr. Michael Harner through the Foundation for Shamanic Studies.

A shamanic practitioner trained in core shamanism journeys to the beat of a drum or rattle- no mind altering drugs are used. Shamanism is a problem-solving system for discovering one's own spiritual power and the wisdom to deal successfully with daily life.

During the sessions, Michele may act as an adjunct practitioner alongside your regular on-going medical or therapy program. In such cases, the Michele honors the therapist/doctor as the primary relationship, and seeks to enhance and never interfere with that process. In this regard it is sometimes necessary to refer clients to a therapist to integrate their psychological issues- this is a co-creative process. To go into the shamanic state of consciousness one must be well grounded in their body, mind and spirit. If you are in need of psychological counseling, I know these women and their good works- they are transpersonal in nature and walk the path of a practical mystic.
