Journeywork.
Journeywork is a direct connection to the more-than-human realm in order to gain insight through a different perspective into what is going on for you. Because spirit is not limited to a body in this time and place, they have the ability to understand and support us in ways beyond what we can do for ourselves as human beings. In spiritual circles, these journeywork services are called ‘divination’ as it is the divining of transformative information from the spirit realm.
WHY JOURNEYWORK?
Perhaps you are feeling lost, disconnected, stuck, or frustrated in heart, mind, or body.
You can’t quite explain it, but feel called to this medium for support and clarity.
You have questions or curiosities about your path that you aren’t getting full answers to elsewhere.

JOURNEY TO THE LAND
madeline’s journeywork
Offline, I will connect with my guides in an altered state of consciousness. This shamanic journey will be taken to gain insight and perspective on what in our initial conversations we decided to pursue. You will receive all the information from the journey, which will include the ‘answer’ to the ‘questions’ along with next steps for you to take in your healing.
4
COMING HOME
45 minute follow up conversation
We will meet again a few weeks later, over zoom or in person, to discuss the journey I took on your behalf. Together we will flesh out and come to a more robust understanding of how the journey provides guidance to what you were seeking. And you will leave the conversation feeling confident about the next steps to address the issue with which you initially came to our session.

FAQ
-
1. We start with an initial 20 minute consultation to confirm that we are the right fit for one another.
2. We meet for 45 minutes where you will share more deeply about what is up for you. Together we uncover more clarity about the root of the issue that you are bringing forward, and craft a journey question that I will later bring to my helping spirits.
3. I do a journey on your behalf where I connect with my helping spirits in order to receive the answer to the question at the root of the issue you are brought forward in our prior sessions. You receive the recording of the journey to listen to, take notes, and let sink in for a week or so.
4. We meet again for a 45 minute integration session a week or so after you receive your journey recording. We discuss what resonates, your questions, anything that feels confusing or sticky, and make sure that you feel confident about your next steps moving forward regarding the issue with which you initially came to our session.

A shamanic journey is an altered state of consciousness that connects a person through a sonic driver to the spirit realm where a particular question is asked by a person and ‘answered’ by a compassionate helping spirit.
The “sonic driver” is often a simple drum beat at a particular beat per minute. Like other kinds of altered states of consciousness, this drum beat creates cross hemispheric activation in the brain that enables a person to process information in a way beyond our ordinary experiences.
In essence, a shamanic journey is an actual journey a person takes by riding the waves of the drum beat to the spirit realm.
Dreams when we sleep each night are ways in which we all engage in an altered state of consciousness. Journeys actually look and feel much like dreams. There is a symbolic language of multiple layers of meaning that must be interpreted. In this way, a journey is not usually a direct ‘answer’ to the question posed in that there are typically not words that give a straightforward, simple explanation. Instead, the meaning of the journey unfolds over time and requires collaborative conversation between the journeyer and the person receiving the journey in order for there to be full understanding of what the journey itself is saying in its ‘answer.’
My colleague Alexis Penney puts it perfectly: “Shamanic healing operates on the principle that everyone has loving, compassionate spirits available to assist them in living their soul’s purpose. [W]ith the right tools and practices anyone can learn to engage these spirits as sources of blessing, healing, protection and support, but in the absence of those skills [I] can engage […] helping spirits on your behalf [through a shamanic journey] to connect you with the love, power, perspective and support they bring to you as part of your human birthright.”

If you are feeling lost, disconnected, stuck, or frustrated - in heart, mind, or body - you may find support in doing journeywork with Madeline.
Oftentimes people come to this kind of work who have tried other mediums that either aren’t the right fit and/or require additional support to address an issue in a supplementary way.
Through this medium, we can work with the more-than-human world in order to gain a different perspective on what is going on for you.
You may also simply feel “called” to doing this kind of process. You may feel there that there is something tugging at you to pursue this kind of session even if you don't understand why. If this is the case, I encourage you to listen to that strange feeling or peculiar sign and book a consultation.

There are many different paths that bring you to this kind of work.
Here are some of the ways you may be able to recognize that you are ready for this work:
You have tried other modalities, such as therapy or other energy healing modalities, and nothing is quite getting to the root of the issue.
You feel the need to supplement another healing modality in order to approach an issue from multiple angles.
You can’t explain it, but this just feels resonate with you.
You want to work on a deeply rooted issue in a way that could be more cost-time-energy effective than traditional therapy or other healing models.
You can identify a specific issue that you would like to change.
You feel uncertain about what might specifically be going on in your life that is causing distress, but just have a sense there IS a root issue but you just don’t know how to get there.
There is no big issue in your life, but you do want to upgrade or develop a certain aspect of your life and don’t know where to begin.
Basically, if you are not in acute psychological or physical distress that necessitates psychiatric or medical care, then we would likely be a good fit for working with one another. Reach out here to schedule a consultation so we can talk about it!

You will feel greater clarity on how to move forward with the initial issue you brought to our first meetings.
You may have more understanding of the this initial issue in a way that brings more movement and lightness in how you navigate the issue in your life.
And/or you may have specific, concrete steps that you will be able to act on to reconcile this issue.
-
No. This is not therapy.
I am not in the role to listen to your issues and guide you through them over a longer period of time. Instead, I am here to help facilitate a relationship with spirit so that you may get clarity on a specific issue over three sessions.
Unless it is directly relevant to the questions you bring forward to spirit, I don’t need to know all the details of your life in the way you might work in therapy. Instead, in our initial meeting, we courageously pierce to the heart of the matter without judgment, blame, and shame so that we can bring what we need to spirit.
This work is swift, to the point, and highly effective, especially in areas where therapy historically has struggled to be helpful.
People often benefit from doing this kind of journeywork in supplement to already existing therapy. However, one does not need to be in therapy to get a great deal out of journeywork.
