Contemporary Shaman - Shaman Therapist, who has developed a unique system using shamanism in her therapeutic work, author of the book "The Magic of Shamanism".
She learned the basics of shamanism in the 1990s during workshops conducted by Jonathan Horwitz at the Scandinavian Center for the Study of Shamanism. She studied with Jonathan for many years and since then she has taught shamanism around the world. Since 2008, she has also studied intensively at the Michael Harner Foundation for Shamanic Studies in the USA. In her therapeutic practice, she uses shamanism, Reiki, conscious breathing, visualization and visual arts. She uses each of these techniques as needed to help those she works with discover their own potential, experience transformation, and regain health and personal power. However, she considers herself primarily a shamanic therapist, and while she regularly conducts workshops on Reiki, Conscious Breathing and Personal Totem Pole, in private practice she mainly relies on shamanism. Over the last 20 years, she has conducted workshops not only in Spain, where she currently lives, but also in the UK, USA, New Zealand and Poland. In addition to workshops, she also runs 2-year Shamanic Training Programs.
She is a psychotherapist by profession, specializing in helping children and adults who experienced sexual violence in childhood. It was work with these people that led Arvick towards shamanism and other healing techniques, which she has been using and passing on to others since the 1980s. Working with this particularly traumatized group of people made her realize that traditional therapies, although effective to a certain stage, have serious shortcomings when it comes to healing past hurts and traumas fully, transforming lives and regaining power. In search of more powerful techniques, she also took up Play Therapy, NLP and Ericksonian Hypnosis, and then practiced and taught Reiki, Conscious Breathing and the Personal Totem Pole visualization technique.
In 2007, her second book, The Magic of Shamanism, was published in the UK by the Book Guild. The book is also available in Polish version.
She also developed a therapeutic game called Discoveries, used to facilitate communication between children and parents, teachers or therapists in a fun and exciting way. The game was published in 2008 and is available in several language versions.
“In my therapeutic work, I am guided by the philosophy of regaining one's own power - this is the basis of all the techniques I use and teach to others. This means that anyone can learn these techniques and practice them on their own after workshops or therapy. Shamanism, Reiki, Conscious Breathing and the Personal Totem Pole process are very different techniques, but they are powerful and empowering to no longer depend on a therapist or teacher and provide the tools needed to grow, transform and reach for a life full of joy, love and freedom. I use each of these techniques as needed to help those I work with discover their own potential, experience transformation, and regain health and personal power. However, I consider myself primarily a shamanic therapist. I practice and teach all over the world and am headquartered in Barcelona, Spain.”

BOOK: "THE MAGIC OF SHAMANISM. THE HEALING POWER OF A SHAMANIC JOURNEY” ARVICK BAGHRAMIAN
Awakened Shaman from France. She began her shamanic journey 30 years ago in Tibet, where she worked with many Tibetan masters. She developed all her senses with them through a deep experience of life to transcend her deepest illusions.

SHAMANISM OF THE NEW ENERGETIC ERA ACCORDING TO FRANCOISE RAMBAUD
According to Francoise, we now live in New Times, in the New Energetic Era, in New Global Vibrations. These energies have already arrived and are now slowly settling into reality and into our bodies. Hence, there are so many difficulties in matter, physical and energetic symptoms, changes in life, diseases, etc. This is truly a great time of Transformation and that is why together, for all of us, we must build new interpersonal relationships and create a new resonance on the planet. For the good of ourselves, our children and future generations.
During classes with Francoise Rambaud, we will learn how to live in the New Times that have already arrived and to which we must now adapt our vibrations. How to take care of yourself, your loved ones and the Earth. How to transform and heal what blocks the flow of Love. We will also learn shamanic techniques of cleansing, healing and raising vibrations. We will learn how to heal ourselves and others, and how to find our strength. Each of us has abilities, more or less recognized. And everyone has the ability to heal – themselves, their loved ones and our planet. By contacting the Earth, relying on the power of Nature, getting to know our Interior again, we will discover what is the most important. We will find Power and visions. We will undergo a profound transformation.
WHAT IS THE SHAMANISM OF THE NEW ENERGY ERA:
Connection with Nature, communication at a subtle level
During Francoise's workshops, the starting point and conclusion of each process is a deep contact with Nature - not just hugging a tree, but entering into contact and conversation with each living being. Dialogue and communication at a subtle level and respect for the natural world. Have you ever asked a tree before "do you want to be hugged by me?"
Raising your vibration
The intense feeling of your own vibration is the basis of what Francoise is teaching. This is much broader than a single feeling of joy in knowing what we are. During the workshops, by entering a very deep feeling, you will feel how your vibration reacts to changes in the group, the rising and falling of the surrounding energy, to music and singing. You will learn how to change your vibrations and keep them at a high level in everyday life. You will learn why your life depends so much on the level of vibration.
Connecting with the Essence, reaching your own nature, discovering your truth
This is the most important message from Francoise and at the same time most difficult to describe. The workshops will be a step for you to connect with your True Essence. By working with shamanism, you will touch the very core of the soul, a personal jewel, the finding of which reveals who we really are. Although our Essence is deeply hidden beneath the beliefs, thoughts, worries, pretenses and fog of the energetic burdens of the modern world, and seems to us only available to monastic monks as a reward for decades of meditative efforts - Francoise shows us that this essence is in fact still there with us. This will be the time when you will sit in silence deep enough to meet your Essence.
Cleansing
Until we get out of a long shower after a hard and exhausting day of work, we do not fully realize how tense and sweaty we have come back home. We do it for the body and we feel the difference. What would it be like to thoroughly cleanse your soul every time? To feel light and shine inside. Francoise shares shamanic techniques for cleansing the body/mind and releasing heavy energies and histories accumulated over the years. You learn these techniques and receive tips on how to take care of multidimensional cleansing in your everyday life.
Connection
Connections with people, connections, relationships, discovering gentleness towards yourself, truly touching another person, getting to know yourself without masks, reflecting yourself in the other person.
In shamanism, relationships with other people are an exact reflection of your relationship with yourself - although this is not always easy to accept. During the workshops, we work with awareness of relationships and getting to know ourselves without masks. We go inside ourselves to discover how we feel about ourselves, to experience it fully. Francoise teaches you how to give yourself true gentleness and what it actually means - I am you, you are me.
Changes in the world, creating new neural pathways, crossing boundaries
None of Francoise's workshops are the same. Changes in the energy of the world are gaining pace, which we feel more and more - we see how old and outdated patterns are falling and disappearing before our eyes. The energy of the workshop is reflected in the current energy of the world and Francoise teaches how to connect to it through deep feeling. The change that occurs when we decide to vibrate spreads like a wave in all directions, affecting our surroundings, family, friends and spreads in ever larger circles! Its importance is much greater than we think.
To live consciously in the New Times, we must learn:
responsibility for yourself, your life and the Earth;
constant, daily raising and maintaining high energy;
wordless communication (going deep into yourself and the spiritual world);
daily cleansing of the physical and energetic body;
respect for Nature, talking to it and listening to what it says to us;
opening the heart and communicating from the level of Love;
sensitivity, tenderness and delicacy towards ourselves and others (without judgment, remembering that everything around us is only our mirror);
understanding that since we create the reality around us and all the stories that surround us, we can also change them ourselves;
directing our energy only to what is most important!
trusting yourself and relying on your inner knowledge and intuition
Valeriy Topoev is a well-known shaman and spiritual leader from the Republic of Khakassia in Siberia, considered one of the authorities and bearers of the traditional culture of the Khakassian people.

He provides spiritual guidance and supports people through shamanic rituals such as cleansing, attracting luck, healing and communicating with spirits and forces of nature. The main goal is to teach people shamanic methods of personality transformation and healing.
Valeriy actively calls for respect for nature and preservation of cultural heritage, emphasizing the importance of harmony with the outside world and inner balance. He advocates a fusion of traditional and modern culture, which he believes helps adapt shamanism to modern conditions while preserving its essence.
Amelia Kinkade is a fascinating teacher who combines the heritage and teachings of her Indian Ancestors from the Cherokee tribe, her mediumistic abilities in communicating with animals, Nature and the multidimensional worlds, and her passion in communicating the latest discoveries in quantum physics.

Her comprehensive methods - connecting multidimensional worlds, love for animals, Mother Earth and our human clairvoyant potential - span all religions and spiritual traditions.
Amelia Kinkade is a member of the Choctaw tribe and is descended from the Cherokee tribe. She is the great-great-granddaughter of the great Cherokee chief Jesse Bushyhead, who led the famous tragic ‘Trail of Tears’ in 1837, when his tribe was forced to abandon their aboriginal lands and move to a barren reservation in Oklahoma. He was also a Baptist pastor and ambassador between his Cherokee tribe and white settlers.
Jesse Bushyhead bestowed his legacy on Amelia to ‘guide the people’ in times of crisis. And today, Amelia uses the ancient wisdom of her Native American people to call both Earth and Heaven Spirits, create pathways between dimensions, receive information from Indian Elders, wildlife, and the ultra-dimensional Gods and Goddesses and Mother Earth herself.
Amelia also spent time learning from a Tiger Shaman in Thailand - to protect wild tigers and create a spiritual alliance with them. She has also undergone extensive training with an African shaman who heals and can transform into animals to bring about inter-dimensional healing to both our physical and emotional bodies. She has also worked with the energy of the late Credo Mutwa, Africa's most renowned shaman.
Amelia is also the world's best-known animal communication medium, an interspecies communication specialist who has been talking to animals of all species for years and teaching people to understand animal language! She is an international speaker, visionary, conservation activist and best-selling book author. She teaches the art of interspecies communication all over the world, combining her knowledge with the latest discoveries in quantum physics.
She has also had the honour of training Buddhist monks in her Animal Communication methods in Thailand, as well as Hindu gurus in ashrams from Los Angeles to Germany.
She is the founder of The Language of Miracles Institute and the Ark Angel Society, a non-profit organisation that campaigns against poaching in Africa and educates children in rural Africa about wildlife.
She is the author of six bestselling books: ‘The Language of Miracles - Learn to Talk to Animals’, and ‘Straight from the Horse's Mouth: How to Talk to Animals and Get Answers’, ‘Whispers from the Wild: Listening to Voices from the Animal Kingdom', “The Winged One”.
Her unique abilities have been the focus of hundreds of magazines and newspaper articles world-wide. She has also appeared on hundreds of television programmes.
She is an international speaker who has lectured in 30 countries, including the United States, Canada, Mexico, England, Scotland, Sweden, Germany, Norway, Switzerland, Austria, Portugal, Brazil, Poland, Zambia and South Africa.
A BBC documentary was filmed about her work with elephants in Kruger National Park.
Amelia's true passion is wildlife conservation in Africa and teaching African children how they can protect their heritage - through her non-profit charity, Amelia's Ark Angel Society. Her mission is to educate the next generation of children about the evils of poaching and the rewards of wildlife conservation. She runs the annual Sacred Harmony Safaris in Africa and assisting organisations who rescue elephants, lions, gorillas, cheetahs, penguins, white sharks and rhinos, as well as solving problems worldwide for tigers, primates, Asian elephants and countless breeds of exotic and domestic animals.
In 2002, she was honoured to accept invitations to Buckingham Palace to work with the household cavalry of Queen Elizabeth II's and to “whisper” with the hunting horses of King Charles'. Amelia also had the privilege of training the iconic show horses that competed in the 2013 Olympic Games, representing Portugal.
Amelia's teaching also incorporates the latest discoveries in quantum physics under the leadership of Dr Captain Edgar Mitchell, a world expert on the Quantum Hologram, based on the Zero Point Energy Field, which enables interspecies and interstellar communication through a newly discovered quantum process.
Dr Captain Mitchell announced Amelia Kinkade as his 3rd and final protégé two years before he ascended from his body, and left her with a promise that she would continue his legacy and teach his philosophies across the Earth, to open the hearts and minds of the scientific community as well as animal lovers from every field.
Dr Mitchell flew four NASA Apollo missions and walked on the moon in 1971. This genius was a naval flight instructor at the famous Area 51, as well as a professor at MIT and founder of the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) - the first scientific research group to bring together the world's top quantum physicists, scientists and doctors to study paranormal phenomena and post-sensory realities.
Amelia is not only a Master of Communication between humans and the Animal Kingdom, but also between the visible and the invisible. Thanks to her native Indian tradition of ‘Super/Supra Nature’, she is strongly intrinsically connected to the natural world.
She speaks with the Elements, Elementals, Forest Goddesses, Mountain and Waterfall Spirits. She communicates with the natural forces of Nature, such as fire, wind, and the crystal minerals of the earth. He also communicates with the more destructive forces of Nature, such as storms, lightning, volcanoes, ‘dangerous’ wild animals and tornadoes, in order to clear energy and reach higher states of consciousness.
Amelia's life mission as an Animal Kingdom Bodhisattva is dedicated to Awakening people to a state where humans, animals and the entire planet live in harmony.

DJ, tantric, passionate about ethnic cultures, organizer of parties and concerts.
I have been playing music for dancing people for over 20 years. All this time I have cherished joy and satisfaction that comes from creating space for expressing oneself, having fun, releasing emotions, getting in a state of trans and forgetting about everything while dancing. Today however, owing to the knowledge and practice in the field of tantra and shamanism (acquired during Anand Rudra workshops), I feel much closer to ceremonial spaces and all practices of conscious movement rather than clubs filled with smoke.
I have been a part of Warsaw Balkan Madness, Global Diggers, Laboratorio Tropical and Nag Champa projects. I have always been fascinated by all kinds of compilations of ethnic, folk and electronic music. When I play my sets, I try to take listeners for a mystic journey around unknown corners of the world. Fascinated by shamanism and psychodelic culture I create a story which not only captures people and makes them dance but also helps them dive into meditation and have a deep look into their inner self. As a follower of tantra path I make sure that the music gently caresses the senses, awakening the body and soul to ecstasy and living life to the full.

SHAMANISM
Shamanism is one of the oldest spiritual and healing traditions of humanity that were present on Earth. Its roots go back to the beginnings of humanity and lie at the heart of every known culture. It is not philosophy or religion, but practical techniques, methods and beliefs, based on the ability to use the laws of Nature and Cosmos.
The word shaman means “the one who knows”, comes from the root sa – “to know” and comes from the language of the East Siberian Evenki. But a shaman is also “the one who searches in the dark.” Shamans are healers, priests, visionaries in communication with the world of gods and spirits. These are the predecessors of modern doctors, psychotherapists, psychiatrists and ecologists.
Shamanism itself occurred mainly in the tribal communities of Siberia and Central Asia, for which it was a fundamental factor of life. But elements of shamanism were and still are present on all continents of the world, as are the basic beliefs: the existence of two realities (visible earthly and invisible spiritual), similar cosmogony and belief in the Three Worlds: Lower, Middle – earthly and Upper, and the idea of the Cosmic Tree , which connects these three worlds.
Shamanic traditions share a belief in the existence of spirits and a spiritual world from which knowledge, power and healing come. And also the belief that everything that exists has a soul or spirit. The basic assumption of shamanism is the existence of the world of spirits, and a shaman is a person who can enter this world and cooperate with invisible powers.
For centuries, shamans have been maintaining harmony between the real and the spiritual world, between man and nature, healing, reading the future, and mediating relationships between people and spirits. They are a bridge between the earthly world and the invisible one, they mediate between the world of spirits and the everyday life of ordinary people.
According to shamans, everything that exists in nature is animate and has a soul. Minerals, plants, animals, rivers and even the entire universe have their own spirit or soul. Everything that lives is filled with energy and is connected to each other. We relate to energy to everything around us, not only with people, but also with all of Nature, which creates the Circle of Life. Shamanism teaches that everything is connected via an invisible energy network, everyone influences others, the surrounding world, other people, Nature and the Elements. No one is separated.
We live in a network of energetic, spiritual, social and mystical connections. Our every smallest move, every thought and decision introduce vibrations into this network, a new vibration. The natural landscape is Mother Earth and the Nature is sacred. Shamans can perceive and use the energy of stones, plants, mountains, rivers and animals in their practice. They assume the constant presence of the spiritual world in all manifestations of Nature.
Shamanism is also the memory of our Ancestors, roots, tradition and culture. Respect for the past and those who lived before us. Using the ancient wisdom, knowledge and rituals of our ancestors. Appreciation of indigenous tribal traditions and cultures, that has largely been lost.

WHO IS A MODERN SHAMAN?
Today, modern shamans are not only traditional curanderos and Medicine Men living somewhere in the distant ends of the world. Their spirit and message can be found in the actions of many people in all areas of our lives – for example, doctors using natural medicine and herbal medicine, ecological activists and activists defending against the clearing of the jungle in the Amazon and protecting endangered species. They are writers and scientists. Bio therapists using energy for healing. Spiritual Travelers blazing trails in Our Multidimensional Reality. These are those who combine respect for the Tradition of their Ancestors with the eternal desire for curiosity and learning about the New...
Shamanism is not just about clothes, drums, wildness, trance and primal cultures - it is something much, much deeper... It is a connection with nature and our multidimensional reality at the deepest invisible level. It is respect for everything that exists. Caring for nature and the environment – local, but also for the entire planet. It is living in harmony with the rhythm of Nature, the phases of the moon, the energy of the Sun and the stars. It is seeing what has been lost and hidden by the modern world. It is a connection with our heart, our soul, intuition, and feeling the flow of life. Opening to what is invisible, to worlds and other realities that mystics and shamans have always talked about, and which are only now timidly being discovered by new physics. It is a conscious and responsible life – in balance, respect for us and the world around us. Shamanism is mindfulness, intuition, conscious perception, opening to what is new and different, living in harmony with Nature and inner freedom.
Therefore, Modern Shamans are also ordinary people, just like us – people who respect Planet Earth and want to live in peace with all Others. Conscious, feeling and full of empathy. Because in fact, the Inner Shaman lives in each of us – this is the original part of us, forever connected to Nature and Life Cycles, longing for Ancestors, communities and ancient Oceans, listening to intuition and the voices of the forest. This is the hidden part of us that connects to our great Power and lives for greater purposes for all of Humanity. Those are the Modern Guardians of the Earth...
