BLOG - Shamanic practice with Children and Families

Imelda Almqvist wrote her first book: “Natural Born Shamans: A Spiritual Toolkit for Life” in response to years of receiving questions about using shamanism safely with children and teenagers. She has since started offering this work as a specialist workshop for shamanic practitioners in both the UK and the US.

She next turned this material into a workshop for parents and practitioners, which first ran in London but is now coming to the US, in March 2019:

She invites all people engaged (or seriously interested) in spiritual work with children to join the following dedicated (closed) Facebook group:

She also runs a closed Facebook group called Natural Born Shamans where families discuss spiritual issues that arise with children and Imelda answers an occasional question.

Feel free to join us if you wish!
