E02: SHAMANIC JOURNEYING - ENTERING THE SHAMANIC REALMS with Paul Francis Artwork

The Three Ravens Podcast | Therapeutic Shamanism, Animism, and Psychotherapy

Welcome! These podcasts address some of the common questions people have about animism, shamanic journeying, shamanic healing, the links between shamanism and psychotherapy (including things like Internal Family Systems Therapy), depth psychology, anthropology, ecotherapy, environmentalism, and more. The first two episodes are introductory ones. The first explores what shamanism is, how it differs from animism, how psychotherapy can contribute, and why we desperately need shamanic practices back. The second one dives into shamanic journeying – what it is, where we journey to, how we can learn about shamanism and animism, and much more. If you have any topics you would like to see me cover, or questions that you would like me to address, then please contact me at paul@therapeutic-shamanism.com and let me know. You can also find lots more information and resources to explore, including books, articles, videos, shamanic drumming tracks, and more at the website - www.therapeutic-shamanism.co.uk

About Paul Francis
I grew up in the north of England. At the age of eighteen, I went to Lancaster University where I studied philosophy and social anthropology, primarily studying tribal (shamanic) cultures. After graduating I worked for a few years in a hospital, teaching sign language, and in my spare time studied complementary medicine, various spiritual traditions, and psychotherapy. I set up in private practice as a complementary medical practitioner and psychotherapist in the early 1980s and gradually developed my shamanic practice. Eventually, in 2007, I founded the Three Ravens College of Therapeutic Shamanism. I published the first in the "Therapeutic Shamanism" series of books.

Although retired from one-to-one work now, I continue to teach and write and develop the Therapeutic Shamanism approach. Otherwise, I lead a quiet life. When not working, I spend my days either on the beach or walking in the hills in beautiful North Wales where I now live, watching clouds and sunsets, gardening, cooking for my partner, holding her hand, reading, researching on the internet (there is so much I still want to learn and study!), thinking, laughing and crying, occasionally wrestling inner demons, doing nothing, in particular, talking to my guides, feeling gratitude and wonder, and gazing adoringly at my four cats.

About Kaja Gulič, the host
I discovered Therapeutic Shamanism via Paul's books, immediately falling in love with its grounded and experiential approach. When the college moved the courses online, someone needed to step in to hold the digital space for the growing online community, and here we are! 🙂

When I am not running after my three kids, you can find me at the piano or wrapped in a cosy blanket with a book in my hands. I love to connect with like-minded people, so if you want to chat, get in touch on the college's socials!
