A Shamanic Experience- A Sacred Travel Podcast

Of all the trees I've met in my travels, my favorite lives in Nelder Grove, just south of Yosemite: an ancient giant sequoia estimated to be around 2,700 years old. In this episode, I share what it felt like to cross an energetic threshold long before I even reached the tree—like stepping into a cathedral where the air itself changes—and how my guides used the presence of this sequoia (and one of...

I've visited Stonehenge four times, and three of those visits included one of the most exquisite experiences I've ever had: being inside the Stonehenge circle at dawn. In this episode, I share what it felt like to be there in the mist and quiet, why that kind of access is such a gift for the energetically sensitive, and how you can connect with Stonehenge yourself—whether you visit in person, jour...

In this episode, I share a shamanic traveler's experience of the British Museum — sitting with sacred objects of power, navigating the colonial complexity, and noticing how intensely a place like this can light up an energetically sensitive system. The British Museum is an extraordinary and complicated place — a building filled with sacred objects and beautiful artifacts, many of which were taken...

I toured Rosslyn Chapel, famous from The Da Vinci Code and beloved by many in my community. The ley lines are strong. The carvings are wild and beautiful, especially the many Green Man faces. Yet it wasn't my spot. Later on the trip, Glastonbury and the Chalice Well felt like home. This contrast taught me a lot about energetic affinity. Why it matters A site can be powerful and still not be your m...

What I explore Two Peru trips became anchor memories for me. In this follow-up I focus on practical navigation: how guides and drivers work, why some stops are curated for commissions, and how to choose sites that let you drop in. I share my favorite quiet moments at Machu Picchu and why the Temple of the Moon near Cusco is worth the detour. Why it matters The Andes are generous. Discernment lets...

I took two close-together trips to Peru: first as a participant, then leading my own small group. We based in Cusco, moved through the Sacred Valley, and took the train to Machu Picchu. I talk about sensing energy at Incan sites, traveling within the "Gringo Trail" infrastructure, and how wide, open landscapes still offer deep, personal experiences. Why it matters on the path The Andes hold potent...

I flew into Whitehorse in early May and spent unhurried days along the Alaska Highway—lakefront base, turquoise rivers, thawing lakes, wildlife at dusk, and a blissfully quiet landscape. The Yukon felt potent yet kind: sacral replenishment, heart opening, and a steady, nourishing field that invited slow travel and real listening. Highlights Carcross, Emerald Lake, Miles Canyon, and a serene side r...

Welcome. For over two decades I've been visiting places whose energy changes me—standing stone circles, old-growth forests, glaciers, deserts—and listening for what the land wants to offer. This series, A Shamanic Experience , is my way of bringing you along. I talk about "feeling" the land like a sixth sense, traveling solo to stay attuned, and choosing which layer of a place to engage (fairy cur...
