We are now living in a time of revelation, where everything is greatly amplified. It is easy for us to see the confusion, desperation and exploitation that appears to dominate our world. And, when we focus on these aspects of our situation, we can feel overwhelmed, confused, and powerless to effect change. We can become despondent, paralyzed by fear or even worse… numb. But, we don’t have to settle for that – we can choose to create another reality! The realms of magic and miracles are available to us! And, because we’re also in an expanded field of opportunities and creative possibilities, we can create better outcomes for ourselves, our families, our communities, and our world. My mission is to help you to connect with this creative and supportive world, and to share with you the traditions and practices that create beneficial outcomes – that look magical and miraculous, but that are the result of applying practical energetics to the situations and circumstances of your life. The Applying Shamanism Program for 2024 includes many opportunities to participate in flowing energy in ways that are wildly creative and resourceful. I’m certain that you will experience profound benefit from joining in at any level. Please check it out and see how shamanic experiences and practices can enrich your life! Our Applying Shamanism Community is an international group of individuals who are working toward a more expansive and inclusive world. The community supports direct experiences of our innate agile, creative, resourceful, and responsive “feral” selves. Together we support the emergence of the wildly unique gifts that each of us brings to this life. Here – at the top of the home page, are links to services, private sessions, community offerings, shared celebrations and living ceremonies, as well as adventures and journeys into places of magic, mystery, and beauty, like Teotihuacan, Mexico. To begin this path to increased benefit in your life, send me an email to join our mailing list, and begin experiencing practical magic for yourself: francis@shamanzone.com |
What is a Shaman? When most people think of the word shaman they picture an indigenous person wearing feathers and leather moccasins circling a blazing fire with a shaker, performing incantations and strange rituals. Actually, “shaman” is a term describing a vibrational art – of being able to see, feel, hear and know things that are higher, deeper and outside of the realm of “normal” reality. Anyone can learn, experience, and apply shamanic skills and practices to better understand and deal with the world around us. This is what shamanzone is about. Shamanism provides guidance for your journey, and tools for navigating the world around you with grace and compassion. It offers an alternative to fear and anxiety, through alignment with authenticity and love. Listen to Francis briefly describe his work in this radio interview: |
A Blessing for Troubled TimesSo far, 2024 has seemed to be spiraling down on a direct collision course with the reality that our natural world can only sustain so much human craziness! As a big wave surfer, I was expecting that we would be tossed and tumbled by the massive crashing waves of energy that continue to disassemble the predatory and exploitative systems and structures of our world. Instead, there is good news. We are being held in a gentle energetic basket of woven light. At this time when we most need encouragement and sustaining support, it’s here. It’s here now… Read on |
An Invitation to Life Shamanism is the mysterious vibrational art of expanding above, below, and beyond the contracted limitations of “normal reality” into a realm of expansive possibilities and creative alternatives. This capacity is innate within you – to live fully, enjoyng the gift of life, and expressing the gifts given to you by Creation – living as a wild and passionately caring being – agile, creative, resourceful and responsive to life. The simple truth: your expanded capacity for love, compassion, and caring is the evolutionary transformation and awakening now emerging within our species. My grandfather, Pedro Angel Fernandez, was a “Maketo” – someone who traveled between worlds. I continue our lineage with the recognition that we’re all being called to ignite our creative agility and joy, bringing life affirming responses to the damage and distress caused by the powerful predatory exploitative systems that have ruled our world for too long. I celebrate the expression of your deepest inner resources and gifts, including your healing and expanded well-being, extending to your family, your friends, your neighbors, community, work relationships, and to all who we share life with here on Earth. My book – A Shaman’s Guide to Deep Beauty is a highly recommended introduction to this realm of expansive possibilities – with shamanic wisdom stories, practices, and exercises to help you navigate these changing times. Please look around, and make yourself at home. I invite you to contact me at: francis@shamanzone.com with your questions and concerns, and let’s share the magic and miracles of this “path of mutual benefit.” The Shamanzone is a place to gather. |
