MICHAEL DUNNING is known as the Yew Shaman. He was born in Glasgow, Scotland, had a series of encounters with Elemental Spirits and near death experiences which led to visions, out of body and altered states of consciousness, as well as intense physical pain. His health was completely destroyed, but an encounter and long nine year apprenticeship with an ancient Yew Tree healed him, and taught and initiated him into the way of a Shaman. He now resides in the United States where he practices Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and teaches the wisdom of the Yew Tree.
RENATA & STEVEN ASH in England will rejoin us to continue the conversation we started on March 15 about the 13 Chakras, the meanings of the ones above the head, and how they have developed flower and crystal essences to work directly with the chakras. Renata will share how she has felt called to channel the energy of Quan Yin, and to perform the wonderful Sabai Ceremony. Join us for a special Quan Yin Blessing!
BROOKE MEDICINE EAGLE, singer, song writer, author, and motivational speaker, will join us to talk about the rhythms of the earth, the renewal of Spring, and the feminine energy of Divine Mother that is permeating the planet at this time. This energy is touching the hearts of all living things, and reminding us of the nurturing, care-giving, compassionate, and forgiving love of our Mother, and it is empowering women to embrace their most precious gift as the life bearing chalice of the future generations who will carry the torch for mankind. Join us and be inspired!

This week, Caroline discusses some of the areas of Shamanism that have not yet been talked about on this show - Good vs Evil, problems with dark spirits and demons, and dismemberment. Lions, and tigers, and bears, oh my! While Shamanism is an amazing healing modality, the Shaman must also deal with some very real and very serious entities and dangerous disease intrusions. It requires training and practice, the ability to focus and concentrate for extended periods of out of body journey work, and powerful allies in the Spirit worlds.
WABUN WIND joins Caroline to discuss allopathic medicine, wholistic medicine, and traditional Shamanic practices.
