Teacher Katherine Skaggs
Katherine Skaggs is a shamanic practitioner, spiritual teacher, ceremonialist, visionary artist, and award-winning Author of her multi-award winning book Artist Shaman Healer Sage: Timeless Wisdom, Practices, Ceremony, and Ritual to Transform Your LIfe and Awaken Your Soul.
Katherine has been immersed in metaphysical for more than 37 years and on a multi-cultural shamanism pathway since 2007. She brings direct experience and wisdom from her journey, offering you tools and timeless wisdom teachings from the wise ones from around the globe. These teachings are meant for use iin any location or time period, city or country, urban or jungle. Though deeply spiritual and mystical, they are grounding and practical for personal transformation and empowerment.
Shamanic Practitioner and energy healer Katherine Skaggs is coming to town. Register now for a personal shamanic healing session at Inner Haven Spiritual and Creative Development Center. Call 224-252-2945 to schedule your appointment. Schedule early to insure your a session with Katherine. Limited appointments are available.
The purpose of shamanic healing is to cleanse the body, to clear the energy field, and to restore balance to the mental, emotional and physical body and soul. Through every day life we interface with both life giving energy, and deadening energy. Fear, fright, and trauma energies, negativity thinking, EMFs, can all lower our vitality and ultimately cause illness. Shamanic healing is designed to clear these deadening energies, restoring your physical and energetic vitality, and filling your energy with life giving Sami, aka prana or life force. Restoration of the soul and any lost energy or lost soul parts is addressed. This may include supporting an individual in clearing an energy leak due to trauma or fright, then calling back any lost soul energy due to a trauma. Fright, trauma, and fear contribute to being out of balance… whether it be recently, in childhood, a past life, or a time you cannot recall. All healings are aimed to restore the soul essence as well as the physical container and energy bodies. Homework is often given to the individual to support their healing process over time. Restoration results in a return to peace, and harmony. This will extend into all areas of life as the person is able to settle into the new pattern that is a return to one’s blueprint.
Each session may include a variety of shamanic healing modalities, such as singing, drumming, rattling, feather work, extraction, soul retrieval, physical manipulation or shipibo shamanic massage work, with the use of essential oils, and flower waters. Sage or sacred tobacco smoke may be used with your permission (but will have to be outside since this is a commercial space.) If you are overly sensitive to smoke or essential oils, let Katherine know and she will refrain from using smoke or other fragrances.
Are you ready for change, for endings of patterns of suffering, and open for new patterns of health, well-being and happiness? How willing are you? And are you also ready to take responsibility with any homework and such to support your healing?
Shamanic healing works on the spiritual, mental, emotional and physical levels. These ancient methods work at the deepest levels of energy and can create great shift, especially when the client is open to the concepts shamanism offers for healing and wellness. Katherine works with you to return balance of spirit, in all realms. This applies to not only one's human body, but all aspects of their lives.
An important concept of shamanic healing is that you take responsibility for the shift you desire in your life. Even when things seem to "happen to you", there is some component of you being in the middle of creating every experience of your life. Ultimately this is how you dissolve victimization, and take your life back. Having an attitude of being part of the healing, of being receptive to and asking for assistance in the shift, offers up an empowered approach to healing. Katherine is the "hollow bone" for Spirit to run through, and assist you in clearing the dense patterns of fear, trauma and disempowerment. Your body and spirit are the vessel. You are a child of heaven and earth!
Shamanic Practitioner Katherine SkaggsKatherine Skaggs has been studying and then teaching spiritual law and energy healing since the mid 80s. In 2007 Katherine embarked on the adventure of her life to do more self healing through the multi-cultural world of shamanism. This led her around the world to work with Shipibo shamans in the jungles of Peru, Andean Q'ero Paco's wisdom, high into the Himalayas to experience Hindu practices, wisdom, and fire ceremony, and onto a sacred pilgrimage with the Huichols in Central Mexico, with study in their practices and teachings. This, and the grounded teachings of Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Mystic Christianity, and Universal Laws and Truths guide Katherine and her work as a channel, shamanic practitioner, ceremonialist, and facilitator.

Includes course materials and teachings, as well as all materials to make your shamanic tools (crystals and stones, rattle making materials, medicine bag leather and materials, beads, feathers, wood for clicking sticks, and so much more. Also includes a copy of Katherine Skaggs' book Artist Shaman Healer Sage: Timeless Wisdom, Practices, Ritual, and Ceremony to Transform Your Life and Awaken Your Soul. If you already own this book, you will have in in-store credit of $25 for other purchases when you arrive at class.
The application process is really very simple. I am accepting students who are interested in the subject matter and course work. Monthly attendance for both the Saturday class and the zoom call is required, along with your desire to learn, your openness and willingness to adopt and try new practices monthly, and your agreement to put your best effort forth qualifies you to join the course. What you put into this class is what you get out of it. How you show up affects everything and everyone. You, the student, ARE the class! Everyone’s attendance brings great richness to the journey of all in the class.
There is nothing terribly rigorous about this shamanic course. However, you do need to be able to walk at least a mile on the flat lands in Colorado. It is also best if you are able to do short hikes in the foothills near Katherine's home. There will be a few short morning outings to be in nature, to gather her wisdom, energy, and often times found items. First class (weather permitting) there is a morning outing for some of the teachings and experiences. Other classes will have similar teaching opportunities outside when possible. Some may be in Katherine's backyard, some in the foothills.
Classes are held at Katherine Skaggs' studio in foothills in Fort Collins, Colorado. We meet each month on the day indicated on this event page. Doors open at 8:30am. You are encouraged to come between 8:30 and 8:45am so we can begin promptly at 9am each month. We are complete by 5pm that same day.
You are expected to join the class for the full day every month, as well as to attend all zoom meetings.
An essential part of the energy exchange is your payment for the class.

Dear Friends
The energies of these times have been difficult to say the least, with many challenges, tests and initiations along the way. Believe it or not, high frequencies of light are entering into our dimension to support a shift upwards in consciousness, though it has seemingly dredged up the lower energies of fear that live within this realm, and within our very DNA. We need support purifying the lower energies of fear, trauma, and toxic energies born of unconsciousness.
Take time for distressing, going into nature, salt baths, and ritual spaces to assist in clearing the old, challenging ways of being, and entering into higher, more loving energies supportive of hope, possibility, potentiation, and growth. It is time to return to true heart focus. To do so, we must clean and clear the dense energies so we are free to evolve consciously.
Join the Remote Shamanic Healing Group to receive blessings and healing energy transmissions to clear fear, trauma and patterns that limit you from being in your heart, raising your frequency to the High Heart of your soul essence. The sound healings, channeled transmissions of words and song, as well as all other energetic downloads support your vibrational transformation clearing the lower energies so you can receive the blessings for your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies. Together we support the blessings for our loved ones and all of humanity.
We'll gather virtually on Zoom platform.
I will call upon all of our allies, specifically the Ancestors, Ascended Masters, Star Nations, Grandmothers and Grandfathers, to support us and to awaken us.
I'll also open a medicine wheel, offer smoke and smudge, prayers, healing song and shamanic healing. I will assist you in grounding and work with visualization and guidance to reset the energy. Clearing fear and trauma at this time are most important so we are able to move forward and heal individually as well as collectively. This supports our mind, our emotions and our immune system.
Additional teaching and practices will be offered as guided at the time.
As soon as I get your registration, your name is put onto the altar to be worked with immediately in my daily prayers and such.
And since so many are impacted at this time, I am offering various price points to join. I don' have a donate button on my site set up, but will offer the remote healing circles as little as $1 to join. There will be $5 increments that you can give in, depending on your situation and your desire. I will not turn anyone away. If you cannot afford this at this time, email me and I'll send you the link to join anyway.
I encourage you to register at least 30 minutes prior to start time of the group healing session to insure your ability to join. Limited to 100 participants.
May we all find generosity in our hearts at this time. Be kind to one another. Be generous and help where you can. Support the whole by taking care of yourself and doing your own work. Lift others up through your compassion. You can do this. We all can do this. We are in this together, and together we are stronger. The web is clearly woven. May we bring light to it, through our own personal responsibility in how we each can show up. May we ask for support where support is needed. And may we give more greatly than we can imagine, that all are loved, cared for, and made whole.
Blessings, Katherine

Dear Friends
Join me for another Shamanic Remote Group Healing, Thursday evening, April 23rd at 6pm MDT within one day of the Taurus New Moon. We'll still be feeling the energies of this New Moon energy, which is all about new beginnings, yet with the influence of Uranus and Saturn, signaling unexpected change. Even though the New Moon energy is all about new beginnings, this particular new moon carries the weight of sudden change, impulsivity, aggressive energy, possible loss, suffering and sorrow. PHEW! Absolutely important to ride these energies in the most positive manner possible, so as not to fall into the lower frequencies that are looming.
Within the Remote Healing Group, I will support each of you by assisting to clear away the dense patterns that create lack of harmony. Fear continues to arise amidst the challenges of COVID-19. It is very important to refocus into possibility and potential, to vision life in the most positive manner possible, and to release attachments to the past as it has been. From this place new beginnings will be birthed in a positive manner, for each and everyone of us. We are in a huge shift for the mass consciousness. So each of us need to do our best to be clear, to imagine the possibilities well, and to leg go where we get hung up. It is time to return to the more harmonious and beautiful energies within, so we can experience them in all life.
We'll gather virtually on Zoom platform, where I will focus energy to assist in clearing any personal patterns that take you into fear, lack, loss, anger, etc. We will also work on calming and clearing the larger patterns of our cultures and society, that create more fear.
I will call upon all of our allies, but have gotten the guidance specifically to work with the Spirit of Fire to support us at this time, to burn away the patterns that create struggle, that limit us, and that are here to be transformed.
I'll also open a medicine wheel, call in our allies, offer smoke and smudge, prayers, healing song and shamanic healing. I will assist you in grounding and work with visualization and guidance to reset the energy. Clearing fear and trauma at this time are most important so we are able to move forward and heal individually as well as collectively. This supports our mind, our emotions and our immune system.

Andean DespachoJoin us for a sacred Andean Despacho Ceremony in the tradition of the Q’ero peoples, from high in the Andean Mountains of Peru. Shamanic Practitioner Katherine Skaggs will guide us through this sacred gifting and bridging of ordinary reality with non-ordinary reality of the Spirit world. The despacho creates the space and place for right relationship, and right relationship with Pachamama, Mother Earth. Through this we bring healing to our relationship with all of our world. We will establish a linkage between our physical universe, our personal power and source of action (located in our solar plexus), our source of love (our heart chakra) and our wisdom (our third eye).
We will honor Pachamama and invoke her blessings, as well as Pachatata, to make an offering to the Sun and the stars. These two combined create a blessing ceremony to assist us in our every day lives to live in harmony in our world, as well as to invoke assistance from the heavenly realms to assist our planet, our humanity, to awaken and come into right relationship.
This ceremony will bring personal blessings, as well as global blessings. Your participation helps expand the energy through your presence.
Bring any offerings you would like to offer up to the fire and the despacho, such as dried flowers, nuts, seeds, cornmeal, small candies of bright colors, written prayers on small pieces of colorful paper, sugar, an open shell, rice, lentils raisins, animal crackers, black licorice, chocolate, sage or other incenses, gummy or candy frogs, play money, contain balls unraveled, confetti stars.
Each item you bring is symbolic and an offering for the intention of harmony and right relationship through gratitude. Your prayers are must important along with the other offerings that makes Mother Earth happy, as well as Father Sky.
We will create a healing packet, a gift, to offer to the fire made from all these items and our heartfelt love and appreciation.
Why Soul Retrieval?
Have you ever felt like you lost a part of yourself when after a relationship break up, a car accident, death of a loved one ... or perhaps you just didn't feel right, you didn't feel well, or walked around with some sort of anxiety or fright? When one has experienced a trauma of any sort, whether a moment a go, in childhood, or even lifetimes ago, there is an energetic loss of one's essence light that can occur, attributing to soul loss. This trauma can create distortions in one's energy bodies, blocking the ability to experience joy, happiness and clarity of one self.
For any one person to experience the fullness of life, it is important that that person is able to be fully present in all aspects of self. Imagine the soul's essence is light. If for any reason that light has been displaced through trauma and the drama's of life, one can experience a lack of Self and a lack of joy for life.
This gathering is aimed at both education about soul loss and soul retrieval, and a focus through the group experience to release energetic blocks and trauma's in the field of each individual who gathers to allow a restoration of the light within each person.
A sacred container is created to facilitate a high frequency, safe experience. A medicine wheel is opened and supportive, light beings, power animals and spirit guides are called to bring in light and healing energies. A variety of shamanic tools and methods will be used to assist each person through the group experience, along with a soul retrieval drum journey. Rattles, clicking sticks, light drumming, tibetan bowls, bells and singing are typically used to assist in the restoration process. Light and breath will be blown into the crown of each person during the ceremony as part of the experience.
This event is designed for empowerment of each individual, to assist him or her in the ability to absorb more light into his or her being and to be present to his or her divinity.

The LED Light Therapy in clinical and home settings has been shown to relax your parasympathetic nervous system and calm the adrenals, in addition to many other potential benefits ranging from decreasing swelling, inflammation, muscle tightness, lymphatic drainage and much more.
Dr. Deepak Chopra says, "Light energy is profoundly capable of influencing the healing process and how the visual apparatus is not the only sensory organ that responds to light."
In the Shamanic Healing Session - Katherine will follow the LED Light Session with an introductory 20 minute shamanic healing session to assist you in releasing and clearing imbalances in your energy field (which are reflected as imbalances in your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual life).
Basic fundamental concepts of shamanism that are 1.) Everything is alive. Everything has spirit and awareness. 2.) Energy and matter are the same. Everything is vibration. Everything that exists is an energy system within a greater energy system. 3.) Everything is connected to everything else in the web of life. 4.) Unseen/inner/spiritual reality affects visible reality.
Katherine will incorporate ancient, multi-cultural shamanic healing techniques that range from prayer, drumming, song, aromatherapy, and energy extraction, to name a few. Katherine assists you with the spiritual aspect of healing imbalances of your body, mind, spirit and patterns in your life.
Katherine Skaggs has trained the past 8 years in multi-cultural shamanic traditions from the Q'ero shamans from the Andes, as well as the Shipibo shamans from the jungles of Peru, in addition to the traditions of the Huichol people of Mexico.
