The Center is dedicated to bridging the ancient and ancestral wisdom of shamanic and spiritual healing with direct engagement with spirit in a contemporary life. Desiree has over 30 years of experience in holistic health and sustainable lifestyle training beginning with building a self sufficient, homestead and creating a green lifestyle on 10 acres in Northern Wisconsin in the early 70’s. Her holistic lifestyle has evolved into 20 years studying herbal remedies, live food nutrition, several bodywork and energywork modalities, and shamanic healing arts. Her shamanic training began in 1994 with teachers from the Foundation for Shamanic Studies and travel around the world with anthropologists. In her travels she has worked with indigenous healers in Peru, Ecuador, Bali, Hawaii, Mexico and Nepal.

Guest Selection
Our guests are invited to participate on the show because they are practicing some form of heart-centered shamanism, have written a valuable book, are out-standing in the field today, or are simply inspiring to listen to when they talk about their passions with Christina. In exchange for their time, energy, and heart they are free to use their show in any way to promote their work.

The guests on the Society of Shamanic Practitioners Interview Series are selected to help us to explore how contemporary shamans are meeting the challenge of their world where the relations of things—the living and the dead, the humans and nature, and Western Way and the spirit world—are profoundly out of balance. It is the ancient role of the shaman in all cultures to tend the balance of things. With these guests we explore how these shamans are meeting this extraordinary need today?
