One of our listeners asked Renee and Sandra that covers the intersectionality between mental health professionals and shamanism. This is a really deep topic and Rene and Sandra covered key details that therapists working with shamanic healing need to know. But how wonderful it is to know that therapists have been integrating shamanic healing into their therapeutic practices for decades.

Join Sandra and Renee as they begin a discussion that will lead you to an new understanding and steps to integrate the work into a private practice, the ethics, telling healing stories and so much more.

In America we just had an incredibly polarized election. It is interesting to examine the polarization when we all share one Earth. Renee shares a very wise perspective about this while Sandra talks about the importance to grieve if you feel a death occurred in your life with this election.
Join Renee and Sandra for this powerful audio show where you will learn different perspectives about the election and the state of the world while also being encouraged to grief for what you feel has been lost. Once we grieve we can see new opportunities that are being presented to us.

Renee Baribeau had a profound experience that inspired this episode. We encounter countless people each day, moving through life at such a rapid pace that it becomes difficult to pause and engage in true heart-to-heart exchanges. Too often, we place labels on others—calling them ignorant, lazy, or mentally ill—without ever stopping to connect with them on a human level. But when we take the time to engage authentically, we tap into a deep well of truth, empathy, and shared humanity. Viewing others as archetypes or one-dimensional characters distances us, reducing them to mere figures in a virtual game, void of connection. In this episode, we explore what it means to truly see and honor the people we cross paths with, from a place of compassion and openness.

Life is about connection. We came here to connect with people and all of nature. So if connection is what we truly crave it is time to start treating people as individuals who we can connect with in beautiful ways to open to the vastness of unique beings who all came to share something quite unique when they chose to be incarnated into this lifetime. Meeting people outside of the labels we give them creates a more enriching life for all of us.

With a world filled with trauma it is time to turn our attention into cultivating our Inner World. This is not an action to take to escape life. It is to build up a beautiful inner landscape where we can allow our inner awareness to help cope with stress and trauma. There is so much noise and chatter that people are no longer listening to their hearts and body which hold wisdom of how to navigate challenges with clarity and peace allowing us to be resilient. Our Inner World is a place to find strength and healing. Have you noticed how many people are getting ill from reaching outside instead of within for resilience and strength? This is a time to listen to the wisdom of your body and from here you will feel safe no matter what is happening around you. For the only true reality is your life in your Inner World. So that is the place of safety for you!

This is a topic that spoke deeply to both Renee and Sandra and it is a wonderful to start season 7 of The Shamans Cave!

As more people get interested in the practice of shamanism more people are buying shamanic instruments to do their healing work and journeys. But do you know where the materials of instruments come from and how they were made. Today so many nature beings are being killed for modern day practitioners who don’t know how to ask if materials were ethically sourced or how to take care of your precious shamanic instrument that will literally become your greatest friend.

Renee Baribeau and Sandra Ingerman talk about this topic of how to ethically buy and care for your sacred shamanic tools.

And then Renee and Sandra let everyone know they are taking a break for the summer to both take a time out from working tirelessly through the pandemic and into present time. It is a time for a pause for self care and new visioning.

Renee and Sandra have 6 years of recorded Shamans Cave podcasts. Check out our archive during the summer on Shamans TV.com!

With all the immense amount of information everyone gave on the eclipse there were a lot of people making predictions that no one knows if they will come true. Sometimes predictions about someone’s life or the collective need to be given in ways that empower us to make changes rather than having a poisonous seed planted inside of us with no possibility of being weeded out. This causes us to wonder did this happen because it was part of my destiny versus did it happen because someone planted a seed filled with fear inside of me.

How do we learn how to be in service and tell the truth about what we are seeing while turning it into a healing story?

Sandra Ingerman and Renee Baribeau have been working very hard to be in service. And being in service is both of their passions and bring them energy and joy. But when there is no exchange of energy they both found themselves experiencing burnout.

So many of us in life were taught giving is always better than receiving. But in this case, there is no harmonious flow. Without a flow of energy coming back the river simply runs dry. And that is happening for so many right now with all the stresses life is bringing to us.

Join Renee and Sandra for this important show on making sure the flow of giving and receiving is abundant so you can have abundant energy in your life. Follow Us at the Shamanstv.com

Renee Baribeau has been talking about her journey ahead to walk the Camino. This led Sandra to think about how in many shamanic cultures the power of the healing often comes from the commitment you make and the sacrifice to get to the healing.

At a time on the planet where a majority of healing is going on remotely there are things to consider. Remote work does work well as the veils between the worlds are so much thinner. But what gets missed when there is no pilgrimage to get to the healing?

Join Sandra Ingerman and Renee Baribeau as they talk about this topic that some of you will feel fits for you while others might disagree. But it is always important to learn about different ways of working.
