SHAMAN AT TOWN'S EDGE


Welcome. I'm Charles Michener, otherwise known as Shaman at town's edge.
​
I practice Shamanic healing work; I offer one-on-one sessions and house cleansings. I also hold events for drumming circles, nature meditations, walks, and paddles in various locations. Please explore the website tabs for further information on booking sessions or events.



The name for this website was inspired by an experience I had at a workshop I attended soon after completing massage school. In this workshop, we did a meditation for "meeting your future self", and I had two visions during this meditation that sort of overlapped with on another. One was of my old home with a line of people outside beating a path to my door for my work; the other was of my work and home being located out in the woods, up a hill, and kind of hidden. In both cases I got the sense of somebody working right at the edge of town, for whom you would have to step out of your normal environment to go see.

Having practised shamanic work for some time now, I see how those images were a metaphor for shamanic work and healing more generally. Because this work is heart work, it requires vulnerability and stepping out of what feels comfortable for it to happen.
