Evelyn C. Rysdyk: Female Shamanic Wisdom

Internationally recognized shamanic healer and teacher Evelyn C. Rysdyk reveals the wisdom of female shamans throughout history, reflecting upon her new book The Norse Shaman: Ancient Spiritual Practices of the Northern Tradition.  At the northern fringes of Europe, Christianity did not displace the original Shamanic practices until the end of the Viking age, resulting in myths, folk traditions and written records surviving, conveying the European shaman's world of long ago. Evelyn's exploration is not strictly historical.  She provides step-by-step instructions on how to recreate ancient ceremonies for those being led to fulfill their shamanic callings, a gateway to personal healing and a wondrous harmonious relationship with the Earth.  A founding member of the Society for Shamanic Practitioners and a presenter for international events such as the Shamanism Summit and the Year of Ceremony, Evelyn is also the author of Spirit Walking: A Course in Shamanic Power, Modern Shamanic Living and A Spirit Walker's Guide to Shamanic Tools.  Evelyn delights in supporting people to remember their sacred place in All That Is. Whether through face-to-face contact with individual patients, workshop groups and conference participants, or through the printed word--Evelyn uses her loving humor and passion to open people's hearts and inspire them to live more joyful, fulfilling and purposeful lives.
