A Most Awesome Spirit of Nature: The Sun

Posted on September 13, 2017 by Marge

G48E6437-5On August 21, 2017, “The Great American Eclipse” swept across the United States from Oregon to South Carolina. As it happened, the Zone of Totality – the geographic strip where the moon would fully block the sun – crossed just 200 miles south of us in southern Idaho. I had heard stories of inspiration, endorphin rush, and total bliss from people who had viewed the corona of a full solar eclipse. I decided this was an opportunity too good to miss.

I was right. In under 90 seconds, the eclipse unexpectedly changed my life. Continue reading →

Trans-Generational Healing Class

Posted on October 24, 2016 by Marge

campfireHealing Trans-Generational Trauma – 5-week class beginning Nov. 7th, 5:30-8:30 pm
Missoula, MT

At a time when the veil is thin, this class connects us with our ancestors and the healing of trans-generational wounds. Sometimes when we are stuck in our lives and can’t move forward, no matter how much clearing or personal healing we do, it may be that we are carrying energetic burdens from our ancestral past. These blockages have nothing to do with us, but are the result of unhealed wounds which have been passed down through family lines for us to shoulder. In this class, we look at ways to break the energetic connection with the wound, connect with our Guardian Ancestor and others, and bring peace to our ancestral line – past, present, and future. This, in turn, helps bring peace and connection into the world.

Often our ancestral trauma becomes entangled with wounds from our personal past and attachments we are picking up in our present lives. The class includes a process for sorting out these often confusing threads and the healing needed for each. These practices help bring clarity to what we can say ‘yes’ to and what we can say ‘no’ to in our lives with grace and move us forward in our life purpose.

Fee: $300 or choose your fee (see “Workshops and Events” tab for details)

8-week class
Tuesdays, 5:30-7:30 pm

More and more, chronic illnesses and hard-to-heal conditions are challenging for conventional medicine to address.

This class explores a larger perspective on human health and healing and how we can draw on shamanic practices and ancient wisdom to help engage our body’s self-healing processes.

Some of the tools we will work with are: Continue reading →

“Living in the Heart of the Universe” – Book Review

Posted on July 19, 2016 by Marge

Over the past 14 years, my shamanic training and exploration has carried me along two simultaneous and complimentary paths. One of these paths has been journeying to the Upper and Lower spirit worlds for wisdom and healing power. These journeys are where the  compassionate healing spirits hear our requests of them and give us help us out of their love and compassion for us and their desire to alleviate pain and suffering in the world. As shamanic practitioners, we listen to the spirits and assist them in their healing work. The second path has been developing my sensitivity and connection with the spirit in all things – the trees, plants, and animals, the rocks, the rivers, the mountaintops, the air, the sun and moon and Mother Earth. I think of the first path as “going there” and the second path as “being here.”

In her book Living in the Heart of the Universe: Expanding your relationship with earth and the cosmos, author Meg Beeler offers a third path, or entry point, into the world of spiritual connection. Continue reading →

Why Apprenticeship

Posted on July 3, 2016 by Marge

Marge Hulburt shamanic drummingThis fall will mark the beginning of my fifth year offering a shamanic apprenticeship program. To date, 60 students have participated with me in some combination of foundational and continuing apprenticeship group programs and individual apprenticeship trainings. Each year, and especially as I begin to teach new advanced shamanic classes and workshops outside of the apprenticeship program, I find myself reflecting on what a shamanic apprenticeship really means and how it is different from other forms of advanced learning.

Since 2003, I have been offering standalone workshops, free journey circles, “teaching circles,” and one-on-one teaching and healing sessions. Over time, the journey circles, in particular, became less and less satisfying, in spite of my belief in the importance of an ongoing shamanic community and affordable access to group shamanic work. I tried several different formats and locations, but I remained frustrated in my inability to sustain a circle fully supported by the spirits.

In the spring of 2012, I was shown the answer. I was in the midst of a deep relaxation during a yoga class when one of my shamanic helping spirits showed up and suggested that I make an herbal syrup to help heal an autoimmune condition in myself. Then he showed me what my journey circle should look like. I went home, wrote a description of the new “journey circle,” and the apprenticeship program was born. The very first session filled with ten students – the number I was asking for.

There is a key difference in my mind between an apprenticeship program and a Continue reading →
