GOING SHAMANIC : CHILDREN - NATURAL BORN SHAMANS
Our children are the future. Imelda Almqvist believes we must respect them enough to give them space to express their spiritual selves and their connection to the Divine, in whatever form that takes.
Today on Going Shamanic, guest-host Marielle Smith (Running Bear Woman) talks with Imelda about her recently published book "Natural Born Shamans: A Spiritual Toolkit for Life" and the many ways in which we can connect with the children around us - through ceremony, conversation and other spirited experiences. >>
Going Shamanic is the creation of Jennifer Engracio, Snow Hawk. She is a Shamanic Practitioner living in the Calgary, AB area. This show share how to integrate shamanism into every day life. Instead of relegating the spiritual aspect of ourselves to Sundays at church or weekend workshops, this show will support listeners in weaving ritual, prayer, magic, and be in alignment with the Spiritworld and the Earth in their lives to enrich their experience of living.

What is Shamanism, Soul Retrieval and Sacred Art - Sharon Ballantine interviews Imelda Almqvist
In this short film Brendan (aged 12) is in a forest in Sweden and demonstrates how he works magic with materials he finds all around him because magic is our birthright and together with our helping spirits we can work miracles!
He makes a series of magical potions and explains the recipes. He talks about the importance of singing to Christmas trees before we cut them down (to honor their sacrifice) and he also issues a warning about sending other people negative thoughts or energies. Last but not least he tells us "how not to get lost in the wilderness"!
At age 9 Brendan published his first book: The Love Hall, Brendan's Travel Guide To The Best Places In The Spirit World.
In this uplifting video shamanic teacher Imelda Almqvist interviews Ruby (15) and invites her to share her spiritual views and practices as well as a message for other teenagers who may be exploring their spirituality and looking for safe places to start or a community of kindred spirits.
Ruby has attended Imelda's TIME TRAVELLERS GROUP (a shamanic program for young people) for several years and arrived at a unique spiritual toolkit that helps her stay grounded, safe and guided by a team of personal spirit allies. She lives in London, UK.
This video marks the publication of Imelda's new book: NATURAL BORN SHAMANS: A Spiritual Toolkit for Life (using shamanism creatively with young people of all ages). Imelda also runs an on-line group for teenage girls called Daring Dreamers!
We live in a youth and beauty obsessed culture. Collectively we are in denial about Death. This is one area where young people can lead the way and be our teachers by facing Death (and all the issues and decisions that surround it) head-on (and creatively, playfully!)
My Time Travellers Group (shamanic program for young people) make a field trip to Nunhead Cemetery in London, UK once a year. Believe it or not, this is one of their favourite sessions!
In this video some teens and "tweens" share their perspectives on Death, teaching all of us some ;powerful lessons along the way!
