Diana Halfmann
Diana has been practicing earth-honoring spiritual traditions since 1998, connecting with spirit teachers, and working with other practitioners who have been her mentors, supporters, and instigators for her growth. A shamanic practitioner since 2007, she has been accessing wisdom from her spirit teachers, studying primarily with the Foundation of Shamanic Studies, a nonprofit organization founded by Michael Harner to study, restore, and teach shamanism and shamanic healing worldwide.
Diana is deeply committed to shamanic journeying for herself, doing healing work and divination for others, connecting with the spirits of place, and working on healing her own ancestral lineage.
She understands that training and practice is a lifetime commitment.
Diana has an ongoing practice leading and participating in ritual with various spiritual communities, as well as a regular practice in core shamanism, Harner’s term for underlying near-universal shamanic principles and practices. By not imitating any specific cultural tradition, but rather by emphasizing the underlying cross-cultural principles, core shamanism is suited for utilization by Westerners who desire a relatively culture-free system that we can adopt and integrate into our contemporary lives.

Some of my clients have started off with the shamanic counseling and continued on in psychotherapy to further deepen the work and understanding of how to apply the wisdom in their daily lives.
Shamanic Counseling is not only integrated easily into psychotherapeutic work, but has the power to enliven your experience and expand your consciousness to understand your challenges in a more compassionate way. It allows you to tap into the wisdom of your suffering in order to help you move through life's transitions with more grace and balance.
