My Waiting Room This Morning

Waiting and waiting. Beautiful morning in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada where I live but apparently Seattle, Washington, USA is fogged in. So I’m waiting over on my side until the fog lifts over there.  Its only a 30 minute flight. I’m headed over to to Seattle for part 2 of a Shamanic skills workshop I’m… Read more »


Shamanic Psychopomp Work

Just wrapped 4 day Shamanic Psychopomp course with Betsy Bergstrom in Seattle. This is a picture from her altar table.  A whole bevy of psychopomp allies from many traditions from around the world.  Betsy’s heritage is Icelandic I believe, so her Norse lineage understanding is a new one for me that I’ve finding very interesting.… Read more »


Sunflower Music

I find this really amazing and fascinating.  Did you know that sunflowers make music?  I didn’t officially know that but it makes my heart smile to learn this … I think our hearts know this, don’t they. Everything makes its own music (sound, frequency, vibration).  Give the link a click to actually hear what sunflowers… Read more »



You Will Survive!

I live outside Victoria, British Columbia, Canada in the rural woods. It’s a rainforest, which means it rains for half the flippin’ year. However, all the rain means we’re surrounded by BEAUTIFUL green forests. I also have a dog.  Dog+forests = lots of trail walking. I was walking on Blinkhorn Lake Trail yesterday and something… Read more »


The Odd Couple: JJ & Riley

A NOTE FROM CHRISTINA:

Puppy playing in the water at the lake in Vancouver Island, British Columbia

Happy Winter Solstice from the Pacific Northwest! This year we are experiencing a snow spell rather than the usual rain.  Which has its pros and cons. The pros are the peace and beauty!  The cons are the tree branches that come crashing down and the resulting power outages. Thankfully all fall classes for SHIFT-IT School… Read more »


A Note From Christina

Time continues to truck along doesn’t it?! It’s now solidly into the winter season here on the beautiful west coast of British Columbia, Canada. All of my fall SHIFT-IT School classes are ticking nicely along (Fundamentals of Working Visually, Practical Energy Work 1 and Practical Energy Work 2). Great cohorts with good diversity of backgrounds,… Read more »
