Shamanic Awakenings

Leo Rutherford is a co-founder of the Eagle’s Wing College of Shamanic Medicine in England and an elder of shamanism in the UK. The work of Eagle’s Wing is to help people connect their inner and outer worlds, to heal old wounds within, to bring dreams from the world of spirit into manifestation and thus enjoy a creative and fruitful life. Joan Halifax opened Leo’s path to shamanism in 1980 while he was studying Holistic Psychology in San Francisco, CA. Since then he has studied with a wide variety of teachers, written several books on shamanism, and co-founded Eagles’ Wing College in 1985. For Leo shamanism is a path of heart and it is his great joy to pass on to others through his books and course work, some of the experience and knowledge that has helped him to transform his life.

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?
