Hello all, This is Quynn Red Mountain, founder of the Institute for the Shamanic Arts and Earth Web Media.

The desert is a powerful place! Each step is important and the path is your own. Nature lovers gathered for a Nature Walk and Shamanic Journey Circle on Saturday, January 18 in the Saguaro National Park West, outside of Tucson, AZ. Instead of “Follow the Leader” style walking, Quynn Red Mountain encouraged the participants to

Each January the numbers of people who are interested in attending ISA’s weekly shamanic journey circle swell.  Maybe it is a New Year’s Resolution, but it feels like people are interested in getting information that is helpful in their New Year’s course plotting. Yesterday was no exception.  A full room, packed with experienced journeyers, and

Ones who have a ‘healing ability’ often describe themselves as a Hollow Bone. The conduit or channel through which the healing energy moves.  We move beyond our own Self to be filled with the power of the Multiverse, so it can move through us where needed.  As an Empty Vessel we clear our minds of

On this Christmas eve Earth Web Media would like to highlight an article written by Mike Williams Ph.D of http://www.prehistoricshamanism.com/, in The Heron Magazine, called “The Shamanic Way of Empowerment“.  This article is very clear and encompasses the themes that run through shamanic cultures.  Subjects such as Healing, Trance, Compassion, being Marginalized in the culture

Journeyers gathered at Our Nest (the frequent home of ISA circles in Tucson, AZ) to connect with the landscape of their personal/tribal spirit world.  While listening to the drum each participant asked within to be taught, shown and guided about the “hows” and the “wheres” of their inner world, to enhance their connection.   Information regarding

Me?! Now?! Time for ISAs Shamanic Healing Practitioner Training Hello Friends! Quynn here :) On November 9th 2013 another Shamanic Healing Practitioner Training begins, and I have received some questions about the training, and “shamanic” practitioner training in general, so I thought I would offer my thoughts about the questions here.   If you are interested

At sunset on October 18, a beautiful evening, over 20 people gathered to celebrate the full moon, and honor this walk as the last that ISA will host for Unity church.  ISA has hosted Full Moon Labyrinth walks for 2 years and 8 moons and each one has been beautiful.  Whether hot sun, rain, cloud

Autumn brings a new project to ISA, the Altar Path!  The “Altar Path” honors the land spirits and nature energies around Tucson, with simple to elaborate altars.  Each altar is created and removed on the day of the event. “Leave no trace” is the method.  This altar was created to honor and offer gratitude for

Yesterday, a group of us  from ISA traveled to the Upper World above Tucson, Arizona. Commonly, the mountain we traveled is called “Mt. Lemmon” in the “Catalina” Mountains.  Another name is “Frog Mountains”.  We felt called up to 6,000 feet to honor the water, the trees, birds, ants, the rocks, and all the rest.  All

This workshop was recorded on September 11, 2013.  Every year, since 2001, this day comes and brings with it many thoughtful and challenging feelings and memories.  Now, 12 years  since that day, it feels that there is much to learn about the Spirit of Crisis. A “crisis” is described in Wikipedia as “any event that

For the last four weeks, 10 Changing Beings gathered for a shamanic intuitive training circle.  Snake and Butterfly were the teachers for this circle.  The 10 Human Beings asked for wisdom shared from these shapeshifting Beings.  Four weekly sessions we met.

20 Human Beings, and who knows how many Beings of Light, gathered last night in a sacred space called The Galactic Center (Tucson, AZ) to experience together the rare planetary alignment that occurred yesterday.

As humans, ideas come to us, from somewhere, and we decide to manifest them, or not.  We are able to manifest them, or not. When we do, these things we call “ideas” change us, and the world, in small and large ways. Yay! “The best idea is one you can do.”  Quynn Red Mountain ISA’s
