Ojibwe Wisdom for Our Neighbors Across the World
With Traditional Medicine People Jay and Sweetie Bird
Saturday 12 July 2025
8am PT / 11am ET / 5pm CET
Approximately 2 hours
"World peace begins at home." Across Turtle Island (AKA North America), many of us live unaware of our Indigenous neighbors whose ancestors have been here for thousands of years. Over time, physical and energetic walls have been built, dividing not only the land, but our hearts. But what if those walls could come down?
Shamans Directory Members Jay and Sweetie Bird are stepping forward as bridges for other Indigenous communities as well as anyone who is interested in learning more about their ancestral wisdom traditions.
You are warmly invited to a very special online gathering, a space of healing, listening, and connection. Together, we will explore what becomes possible when ancient (traditional) wisdom meets open-hearted presence. When we create a new kind of community, one rooted in truth, reciprocity, and reverence for one another.
This is not just an event. It is a chance to remember that reconciliation is not just about people, but about the Earth and all of her children. Let's dream together. Let's listen deeply. Let’s feel what’s possible when we begin to see one another again. The door is open. Will you enter?
This event is FREE and all are welcome.

Lineage-Based Teachings with Modern Health Practices
With John Crow MacKinnon of Shamanic Voyages
Saturday 24 May 2025
8am PT / 11am ET / 5pm CET
Approximately 2 hours
Join us for our upcoming Shamans Directory Live Event featuring John (Crow) MacKinnon, who will share his insights from his personal journey navigating both traditional and modern teaching practices. Crow will speak about his work with entheogens, or traditional plant medicine teachers, and the growing recognition of their value in modern mental health care. He will explore how traditional healers can contribute to and also benefit from this expanding field, particularly in areas of diagnosis and ethical standards.
Crow is the founder of Shamanic Voyages, a non-profit organization offering educational travel experiences to places where shamanism remains a living tradition. He is an Amazonian-trained Curandero, a Harner Shamanic Counselor and a graduate of advanced trainings offered by the Foundation for Shamanic Studies. He is an Ambassador for Shamans Directory, and he is also active in global initiatives including Sacred Earth Activism and Pachamama Alliance.
The lineage where he received most consistent training is rooted in the Amazonian tradition through the line of don Viejo Rivas, don Agustin Rivas Vasques, and don Ramone Sanchez Rojas—a lineage of Shipibo origin from the Ucayali region of Peru.
With decades of collaboration with healers from many different backgrounds and traditions, Crow offers a unique perspective on how science and lineage-based wisdom can come together. As modern medicine begins to recognize the value of what traditional, earth-based medicine has to offer, this will be a timely conversation about bridging worlds and deepening mutual respect.

Approximately 2 hours
As people around the world increasingly seek healing for their hearts and souls, there is a growing interest in shamanic, earth-based traditions. Yet stepping onto this sacred path calls for more than simply curiosity and the desire to have a trendy job description. It requires deep reverence for the sources of ancient still-living knowledge, and the Indigenous peoples and communities who have safeguarded their practices for thousands of years.
Becoming a shaman is not a title one simply claims. It is a lifelong journey of apprenticeship, inner transformation, cultivating relationship with the seen and unseen worlds, and service to your community and beyond.
In this powerful session, Shamans Directory Partner and Ambassador Taita Itzhak Beery will share insights from his recent article You Call Yourself a Shaman. Now What? 12 Heartfelt, Essential Actions to help guide those who feel called to embody the role of a shaman with wisdom, integrity, and humility.
Itzhak is an internationally renowned shamanic teacher, healer, speaker, community activist, trip leader, as well as author of three books. A passionate advocate for preserving the vast spiritual and medicinal knowledge of the Amazonian jungle, since 1995, he has bridged the spiritual and practical wisdom entrusted to him by his Indigenous and Western teachers. He was initiated by his Kichwa teacher in Ecuador and a Kanamari Pajè in the Brazilian Amazon, among others.
With a grounded, generous teaching style, Itzhak brings decades of wisdom and experience in the healing arts. He is the founder of ShamanPortal, the Andes Summit, and SPQR (ShamanPortal Quarterly Review) Magazine, and co-founder of The New York Shamanic Circle, and Amaroo Sanctuary in Mindo, Ecuador. He was honored with the Ambassador for Peace Award from the Universal Peace Federation and the UN.
Join us for what will surely be a joyful and profound experience!

Discover the Path of Shamanism and Intuitive Healing
With Ahamkara
Saturday 12 April 2025
8am PT / 11am ET / 5pm CET
Approximately 2 hours
Shamanism teaches that every person has innate wisdom and the ability to connect with the spirit world and nature. By developing intuition and working with energy, shamans learn to restore balance and guide others on their healing journeys. Illness, from a shamanic perspective, often stems from energetic imbalances, emotional wounds, or spiritual disharmony. Through rituals, dream work, and plant medicine, shamans access deep wisdom to heal and transform lives.
Ahamkara, a Shamans Directory Ambassador and Member, is a shaman from the Altai region of Siberia. For over 20 years, he has practiced shamanism as taught by Siberian Indigenous peoples and hereditary shamans. His teachings focus on health, personal growth, and finding one’s true path. Ahamkara brings warmth, humor, and practical wisdom to his students, integrating traditional knowledge with modern-day application. In addition to spirit communication and dream work, he is well-versed in plant medicine, herbalism, and body systems.
Join us for a Shamans Directory Live Event, where Ahamkara will introduce the foundations of Siberian shamanism and his year long Shaman-Healer training, "How to Become a Shaman and Healer."

The beginning of a New Year is the perfect time to find a quiet place, settle in, and receive the wisdom of the ancestors.

Some of what you will hear will include stories and practices from before colonization.
Jay Bird is a Jiisikaan (Shake Tent) Conductor. He is Bear Clan and from the Batchewana First Nations of Ojibways, Sault Sainte Marie Ontario. In 2010 the Batchewana First Nation Chief and council presented him with the Sacred Pipe that he now carries.

She and Jay are Traditionally married and a team. She assists Jay with Shake Tent, and is beginning her own practice in one-on-one doctoring, and healing sessions.
This is a rare opportunity to receive these teachings outside of traditional Ojibwe communities - and quite different from the online experiences that most Westerners are used to. In a world that can leave us feeling overwhelmed and depleted, it is important that we find ways to reset our central nervous systems and bring our hearts back into synchronicity with the heartbeat of Mother Earth.

Every one of us experiences periods of pain and loss in our life—dark nights of the soul. This is a groundless territory where one feels directionless and devoid of tools, with no sense of how to take the next step. In ancient times, Elders guided their communities through life’s initiations and challenges, paths we must all take to transform and grow.
Join us and legendary shamanic teacher Sandra Ingerman for teachings on Walking Through Darkness written with Llyn Roberts, a powerful new guide for forging a pathway through the dark. Sandra will share from her own experiences, and the wisdom she has gathered from years of study, and other healers around the globe. Together we will connect with teachings from the Earth and the spiritual world, opening us to our spiritual light so that we can face our greatest challenges with courage and love, no matter what they are.
"Sandra and Llyn encourage us to dance with the Trickster, that coyote energy that ensures that our paths never run straight ... and call us to awaken to how crisis can be an opportunity for transformation. Go here for roadside assistance on your soul's journey.”
— Robert Moss, Bestselling author of Conscious Dreaming
