    In this captivating episode, host Amanda Parker journeys into the realm of shamanic healing with Kuhn Silver Wolf Drum, who shares his wisdom on connecting with ancestors for deep transformation. Wolf Drum explains that ancestors go beyond just our immediate family to include the lineages that stretch back thousands of years, holding a vast reservoir of wisdom that we can tap into for guidance and healing.

     

    Wolf Drum's own path into healing began with a profound connection to the unseen realms, including ancestors, nature spirits, and animal guides. He has since developed a powerful shamanic practice that involves setting an intention for healing and calling in the support of these wise beings to facilitate the process. He emphasizes that true healing is about remembering our own unending spiritual essence and shedding the layers of misunderstanding and disconnection that give rise to sickness.

     

    Throughout the episode, Wolf Drum shares stories and insights on how ancestors can support us in reclaiming our authentic selves and rebelling against the unhealthy patterns and expectations imposed by society. He offers advice for those starting a healing journey, encouraging them to trust in the unending possibilities available when we connect with the wisdom of those who have come before us. Wolf Drum's work, which includes individual sessions, ceremonies, and teachings, is ultimately about guiding people to remember their true nature and harness the power of their ancestral lineages for personal and collective transformation.
