Jan Bio: I am a mystic and have studied and practiced a variety of spiritual systems. I am a retired nursing professor. I taught Mental Health, Community & Global, Health, Current Events, & Holistic Nursing. I have walked both the
academic world of nursing and the world of mysticism with equal depth. I’ve created a bridge between the seen and unseen world that touches psyche, spirit, body, community, the cosmos, and ancestry all at once.
Presently, I teach & practice a synthesis of shamanism and mindfulness meditation.I lead grief rituals, drumming groups, practice Cowry Shell Divination, drumcircles and drum and rattle making, home and land clearings, trauma integration, ancestral healing, aromatherapy, death & dying, and an entire curriculum for Mindfulness Meditation & shamanic practitioners. I am drawn to take pilgrimagesand study ancient cultures health and spiritual practices like Peru, Egypt, tribal groups, and Scotland.
