SUMMITS, EVENTS & INTERVIEWS

Thank you Imelda Almqvist for your dedication to dreaming Heaven on Earth for our children and children’s children...you are an inspiration to us all!

- Martha Lucier, Shamanism At The Edge

Just the sharing of your artwork and the conversation, the beautiful sharing, inspires me to create a workshop based around the topic. So many beautiful journeys and healings can happen and already did for me around your beautiful words and art. Thank you Imelda for being so inspiring!

-Becky Lynn Birch, Shamanic Teacher/Reiki Master - Okanagan Valley BC

Sounds True update!

Sounds True is a spiritual publisher based on Colorado, US. They invited me to be one of their presenters on Year of Ceremony but this program has now ended. The global community these ceremonies called together continues to exist as a group called The Shamanic Path. Senior producer Mitchell Clute has invited me to stay involved as an occasional presenter. We recorded video interview/presentation in June 2019 about my first two books (Natural Born Shamans and Sacred Art). In October we will do another video presentation about rediscovering and reviving the pre-Christian spirituality of The Netherlands (my country of birth). Stay tuned!

SOUNDS TRUE - THE SHAMANIC PATH

THE FEMININE PRINCIPLE PODCAST - INTERVIEW SERIES

In today's episode, I’m joined by Imelda Almqvist, where we discuss how Inner Work / Shadow Work is a vital part of our human journey and how we all have a responsibility to take an active part in it to make the necessary shifts needed in the external world, and how external activism has to be matched with inner activism.

We also look at the role of the ancestors and how they give us a map for what we are currently experiencing, individually and collectively and what they can teach us about where and who we are now.

(Text continues just below)

Imelda shares some of her own stories of working with the Shadow Self, and how she engages with it in her relationships with her family. She also believes that Shadow Work “should be like brushing our teeth or washing our hair or whatever it’s like a form of spiritual and psychological hygiene” and that it needs to be on the curriculum in schools, as the younger generations are going to be the “doctors, the politicians, the nature keepers, and the earth keepers of the future”.

"Imelda Almqvist is an amazing teacher and wisdom keeper, and I'm truly grateful to have been given the opportunity to interview her for The Feminine Principle Podcast - Exploring Inner Work as Activism.

I cannot recommend enough her heartfelt teachings for young and old, the novice and the seasoned practitioner, of how we can truly change our relationship with self, others and mother earth to be the change we wish to see in the world through the magic of shamanism, art and the imagination."

New Moon Global Call to Action
From Imagination to Passionate Activism
A FREE Interactive Global Conversation
with Michael Stone & Imelda Almqvist
Friday May 3rd 9-10:30am Pacific

SIGN UP

To go on a world peace march without addressing the conflicts within ourselves and in our own lives, does not bring peace. Doing inner work is activism too!

The demon we really need to wrestle with (as Jacob did in the Bible) is not the serial killer or mass murderer (those are best left to law enforcement and the FBI) but the toxic belief that there are “two kinds of people”: good people and bad people, superior races and inferior races, people like me and people different from me: “Us and Them”. That way of thinking has caused some of the greatest atrocities in human history. Unless we police our own consciousness and activate our Inner FBI (as it were) all of us carry within us the seeds of such things occurring again.
-Imelda Almqvist in her upcoming third book: Medicine of the Imagination

The greatest source of suffering in the world is born of the myth of separation. Science has proven, without a doubt, what the ancient ones have been saying for millennia; that everyone is connected and everything we do, say and believe, every action we take affects the whole. We are not separate, rather we are an integral part of a vast living system that is created in our beliefs, perceptions and worldview - these perspectives literally shape the world we live in on a moment to moment basis.

If we want to change the world we live in we must first imagine the kind of world we want to bring forth. For far too long we have been focused on what we don’t want, which is based on the past based beliefs. Join Michael, Imelda and our guests as we explore the vast potential of the power of the human imagination...
Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge
is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world,
stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.

DIALOGUE WITH MICHAEL STONE

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. Jen's website is www.spiraldanceshamanics.com.

THREE INTERVIEWS WITH THE TIME TRAVELLERS, 2016

THE FOREST MAGIC OF A NATURAL BORN SHAMAN

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.

INTERVIEW WITH RUBY

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!

PSYCHOPATHS & PSYCHOPOMPS

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!
