John Moir
My life journey has been a fascinating one, taking me from paramedicine to shamanic healing. The profound lessons of grief, loss, healing, and personal growth have left an indelible mark on my life. As I navigate retirement, I am driven to share shamanism’s wisdom and its alternative healing practices with the world through our podcast. I believe that we need to bring grief literacy out into the open, and that’s precisely what our podcast aims to do. Each episode is a unique journey of discovery, merging spiritual insights with practical guidance for healing and personal growth. We believe that shamanism’s ancient teachings have a place in modern urban life, and we offer an alternative healing path for navigating the complexities of loss and personal challenges. Our conversations are a source of enlightenment, providing a deeper understanding of the healing process, enriched by our personal stories and the perspectives of our guests. Join us on our mission to spread the word about shamanism’s alternative healing practices and make grief literacy more open.
