Shamanic Healing

Nuru member

Shamanic healing works in the realm of energy and spirit, addressing the root causes of illness, disconnection, or imbalance. Practices vary by tradition but may include soul retrieval, power animal work, extraction healing, ancestral healing, and ceremony.

Cultural origin

One of the oldest healing traditions on earth — present in indigenous cultures across Siberia, the Americas, Africa, Australia, and beyond for tens of thousands of years.

What a session involves

Sessions vary significantly by practitioner and tradition. They may include journeying (a meditative state induced by drumming), ritual, energy work, and dialogue. Sessions typically last 90 minutes to 2 hours. The practitioner will explain their specific approach before the session.

Who it's for

Those drawn to working with the spiritual dimension of their healing. Particularly powerful for those experiencing disconnection, soul loss, repeated patterns, or ancestral wounds.
