Carla’s Masterclasses
Animal Spirit Tribes on Animal Communicator Forum
I gave a talk on Animal Spirit Tribes through the Animal Communicator Forum in Sept 09. You are welcome to listen to it through that site.: http://www.animalcommunicatorforum.com/recordings/CarlaMeeske09-22-2009.mp3
I promised the listeners that I would give them a recorded guided journey to help them meet the tribe of an animal they love. You can hear it here! tribe meditation
Masterclass Descriptions
Carla’s Shamanic Masterclasses offer material not provided in the Animal Spirit Network teleclass series. These areas are important to a well rounded shamanist, and include classical methods for working with the spirits of place, clearing land, self healing, ancestral healing, and more. Master classes also from my own areas of shamanic innovation and exploration.
I practice exploratory shamanism in which I am always developing new work and birthing new ways of working with spirit, based on the direct knowledge they give me. Currently I am developing ways of working with spirals and eco systems. See my blog for my most current research areas.
The classes will have different prerequisite requirements based on the difficulty of the material. This schedule will be updated as I add new classes to the agenda.
Tales of the Animal Spirit Tribes
See the website with the stories people like you have gathered – http://spiritlearning.com/tales/
Our Power Animals have Tribes with cultures and mythology, just as our human tribes have. We can ask our power animals to heal us using the power of their tribes. Often they will do this through stories, myths that describe the nature of the world. Our concerns mirror the worlds concerns. Our healing is universal healing, and when we bring healing into the world through our Shamanic Work, we bring heal to all of the world not just ourselves and our clients. The Tribal Stories evoke this underlying truth and bring it forward in magic and beauty.
We can gather stories for ourselves, for our families and for all our relations. The stories can be personal or broadly mythic. We can express the myths in different ways. We will tell stories in the class, but we will encourage you to express them through other arts too, such as paintings, crafts, theater and dance.
Harmony Harrison has been gathering Tribal Stories of her Power Animals and has agreed to share this story with you as an example of what is possible to retrieve.
Harmony writes, “Bringing back these myths can be a service to the animal tribes. It is not just we who are benefiting, but an exchange. That’s why it’s so important for us to express the stories after we witness them. Expressing the stories is a gift we give back to the spirits, as well as to our own people & animals. Because the spirits experience such joy in the sharing, and because their incarnate tribal members benefit from the humans’ changing views of them.”
Read Harmony’s Tribal Story Bears Bring Back the Light. She will join us in the teleclass and share her experience retrieving tribal stories.
Please understand that Harmony is a professional writer and her work is incredible. (Mine is far less so.) Our skills really don’t matter – even someone with rudimentary literacy will bring back beauty in concept and word. It is the spirits’ story we are retrieving. So don’t be shy – join us on Feb 5th for the time of your life, recovering and sharing the spirits tales.
In this class you will access your core creative soul and let it sing the songs the spirits give you. Your heart will spread as wide as the eagle’s wings. You will create beauty and shine in the spirits light. You will be healed and you will gain amazing insight.
This class has a teaching component and lots of in-class journeys. The fee is $55 and the class lasts 2 hours. Upon registration you will receive a handout and call information. This class does not have ASN credit.
Guiding Others in Non-Ordinary Reality
We will learn how to guide others on a shamanic journey. By doing this you greatly enhance your skills in interpreting and relaying your journey as you experience it. This technique is very helpful in getting your “mind chatter” out of the way, and helping you have a deep experience. And at the same time, you will be learning to help others into NOR, without having to teach them to journey. It is a two for one!
You will learn the Rattle Journey, where you intimately guide a partner and learn to recite your travels. We will also discuss giving other people customized “mediations” to help them journey when they don’t know how. This is a very cool way to give people a personalized way to ask for healing and advice for themselves and their animal.
The fee is $55 and the class lasts 2 hours. Upon registration you will receive a handout and call information. This class does not have ASN credit.

Shamanic Healing-Hands On Techniques
September 18 & 19, 2010 in Algonquin, IL
There are quite a few shamanic healing techniques that can’t be accomplished over the telephone. I can’t teach them in teleclasses, and I can’t perform them on people and animals who are not in front of me. In my other live workshops I touch upon them, but this is the first workshop devoted to hands-on healing techniques, taught in a step-by-step manner. This workshop is fresh and exciting, and teaches techniques (for both animals and people) that give immediate and profound results. I hope you can join us. Learn to bring spirit through your bones to deliver powerful hands on healing. You will learn stand alone shamanic techniques, and you will learn how to use your shamanic skills to enhance other energetic healing modalities. This workshop will show you how to use your drums and rattles to bring healing power through, and you will learn to use tools, like feathers, crystals and rattles, to direct spirit’s power exactly where it is needed, at exactly the right level for your client. These techniques are good for animals and people. Come prepared to give and receive blessings and healing from our spirit allies!
- Learn “Shamanic Healing Touch” with spirit empowered hands.
- Share your drum with Ancient Sky Spirits, and deliver healing that is beyond this world.
- Reconnect with your own ancient Teachers, and begin your rediscovery of old medicine that you know, but may have forgotten.
- For those of you who practice other hands on healing arts like massage or energy healing, learn how to consciously engage with spirits to super-charge your work.
We will have a spiral set up, and Saturday evening we will do Ceremony to heal ourselves, our animals and the land. This workshop is appropriate for anyone who has interest in shamanic work. If you do not yet have experience with shamanic journeying, we recommend that you learn simple journeying into the middle, upper and lower worlds before coming. ASN offers an easy way to do this with the Intro to Shamanic Journeying in the 3 Worlds video course (see SH105 for more information). We will be working on each other, so you will be learning these techniques in the context of healing people. But you will find it easy to apply the work to your animal friends. Course hours: 2 full days, September 18 & 19, 2010. Cost : $245.00 / $225.00 if paid 4 weeks in advance Register: Hosted by Animal Spirit Network – $225 early bird. See ASN for registration.

An introductory class where you learn to journey to all three worlds, and to connect with one or more Spirit Allies for your personal enlightenment, protection and healing. A base line class for anyone who has not learned to do these things, or who feels rusty in their skills.
Spiral Healing Ceremony Nov 20 6:00PM to 8 PM
In this ceremony we walk a spiral portal, asking the compassionate spirits to unwind our difficulties, renew our native divinity and teach us how to walk in the world with our fresh and shiny selves. You may walk for yourself and/or on behalf of others.The spiral holds many secrets: sacred geometry, the spirit’s womb, vortexes, organic growth, even (and especially) the big bang and the shape of the unfolding universe. Working with the spiral, your compassionate spirits can heal your deepest issues, and remake you in your divine perfection.

Carla Meeske and Tim
Compassionate Healing for You and your Animals
Carla Meeske (formerly Carla Person) has been offering shamanism and animal communication for clients across the globe since 1998. She is a recognized author, teacher and healer with a reputation for integrity and commitment to her clients. Carla offers:
- Transformative shamanic healing for people and animals. Loving spirits help relieve physical and emotional problems.
- Soul retrieval, power animal retrieval, illness extraction and other classical shamanic healing practices.
- Complete training in shamanic journeying and healing, with a focus on helping animals.
Often spiritual healing is the missing link, the wind in the sails that allows true healing to rapidly progress.
Shamanic Spiritual Healing is ancient medicine practiced by indigenous people world wide. Entering “non-ordinary” reality, a shaman requests help from spirits who love us and who want us be healed and whole. Shamanism is complementary to modern medicine and therapy. Shamanism can accelerate other therapies’ effectiveness, removing impediments and facilitating rapid healing.
Carla works with you on the phone, and records the sessions so you can hear all the details again.
- Help with death and beyond: Learn how your special friend is doing in the afterlife, if/when she will return, and what messages she has for you. For animals nearing the end, Compassionate Spirits support the transition, relieving suffering and easing the pain of loss you both feel.
Carla teaches shamanism through distance education and live workshops. Carla’s courses are geared toward healing animals, but the path involves deep personal transformation. Your Spirits will guide your personal path to wisdom.

Personalized Training
The personalized training program is designed to help you develop your skills as an animal communicator and shamanic animal healer – at your pace following your own heart’s path.
You may choose to work individually or in small groups. If you are in a small group you can practice together and reinforce your learning and experiences. This will help keep you on track between our lessons.
We will start from your current level of experience. If you are new to this work we will begin by working you through the steps in my DVD, Speak to My Heart.
I work with the spirits to tailor your lessons to your needs. Over the course of your lessons you will:
- Learn the core shamanic skills of power retrieval, extraction, and soul retrieval for animals
- Undergo deep initiatory experiences, where you will develop strong lifelong connections to your power animals and spiritual teachers.
- Learn many specific skill to help you work with animals and their people in the most common situations of need, such as the death and dying process, serious illness, behavioral troubles and more.
These skills compliment energetic medicine practices, and they intermesh with other shamanic trainings you may be taking. The central focus in my practice is working with a personal sacred circle of power. This teaching is a gift direct from spirit. It overlaps with many traditions and is a modern gift to us.
Individual lessons
Each lesson is one hour long, as we can schedule as often as you like. Your pace is completely up to you and the spirits who are guiding us both through your trainings and initiations. You will be given homework which you should attempt with vigour before our next date. Occationally we will journey in a lesson, but for the most part you will not be doing extensive journeying during the lesson time. Instead we will be in deep conversation about the homework you have done, your next assignments, and answering your questions.
Group Lessons
If you have a friend or two who also wants to study, you can do a group lesson. The lessons will be 1.5 or 2 hours long, and should be scheduled weekly or bi-weekly to keep everyone on course.
Agenda
The simplest way for us to work together is to follow the same agenda as the teleclasses. This way we can use the teleclass writen materials as support, and you will have very clear guidelines for homework. This works well for many people, but you may not need or want to follow that exact path. I am happy to develop your lessons exactly for you, however you will be more responsible for keeping good notes as my support materials will not exactly fit our discussions.When we get together to discuss your needs we will create a lesson plan for you.
The teleclass agendas are spelled out here → teleclasses
The more flexible agenda will be built from the following sections:
Basic Agenda: (25-35 lessons)
Your Sacred Space, Medicine Wheel, and Spiritual Team (3+ lessons) Creating and Working in Sacred Space in Non Ordinary and Ordinary Reality, Understanding the directions
Exploring Non-Ordinary Reality (3+ lessons). Exploration of the three worlds and other dimensions

Sessions for Animals
How my helping Spirits and I can help your animal:
What a session entails, and what to expect:

Scooby
We can either set up an appointment for your session, or we can do it “flat fee” where I work you into my schedule. Appointments last typically about an hour and allow you to hear the session live, and ask immediate follow up questions. We begin with my learning your concerns, then I do the journey, then we discuss what we learned.
Flat fee sessions are just as powerful for both communication and healing, and don’t require you to be “present”. After receiving your e-mail or phone call with the details of your request, I set aside time to do the session. I find that animal’s spirits are receptive to the communication regardless of what their bodies are doing (sleeping or playing and so forth).

Karma
When people ask me to do shamanic healing work for their animals there are two basic things I do. First, I journey to your animal and speak with him or her in non-ordinary reality. There I get impressions of the animal’s past and let you know what his or her memories and current impressions are. In that journey I also enter the animal’s body and see if there is pain or injury. I ask my spirit to heal the hurt and learn if there is any treatment that would be good for you to pursue. I record this communication journey on a CD (I’ll speak what I receive out loud so that it gets recorded) and send it to you.
Second, I ask my helping spirits if the animal needs further help, such as a soul retrieval, power animal retrieval, or extraction. Soul retrievals and power animal retrievals are wonderful for animals. Often inexplicable behavior gets better after a soul retrieval. Sometimes the changes are dramatic, sometimes small. I will give you a written or verbal report of the soul retrieval, power animal retrieval or other work I do. I will describe the parts or spirits I bring back so, that you can reinforce the healing by reminding your animal of them in ordinary reality, and asking how your animal friend feels having the parts back. You may not believe your animal understands, but it will!

Cynric Healed up!
I will also let you know if anything should change in what you are doing with your animal. For example, one horse in Arizona reported to me that he was lonely and really wanted to be with the horses in the other paddock. He also showed me a precious colt at his side. After asking the owner if there were horses he was not turned out with, she said “Yes, I just separated him from a mare and her colt. They had been out together all summer.” So she reunited them and the colt stuck to the client gelding like glue. A simple, and happy solution to a horse’s sadness.
When I am finished I call you or e-mail you with the top-line information. I send you the tape so you can hear the details.
Please provide the following details when you request an animal healing. If it will help, just copy this information and paste it into your email (it is easier than using a form) and attach a picture if you have one handy
Explain who the healing is for and what your concerns are.
Tell me where you live (address, phone number and email please)
Give some identifying characteristics of you or your animal. Include the animal’s type, name, age and sex please.
Mention any specific questions you would like to have answered.
You may pay using a check or credit card (I can take your number over the phone). If you prefer to pay online through PayPal, click here:

What is Shamanism?
Shamanism is the most ancient form of healing, practiced by humans world wide.
Through a change in consciousness, Shamans enter “non ordinary” reality to request healing and advice from compassionate animals, humans and other spirits. Spiritual healing is complementary to modern medicine, therapy and training. Often it is the missing link, the wind in the sails that allows healing, recovery and training to rapidly progress.
I practice core shamanism, a distillation of shamanic practices which are common to many diverse cultures. The methods of core shamanism are practiced by modern shamanic healers throughout the world. In core shamanism, the shaman enters a shamanic state of consciousness through listening to rhythmic percussion. He or she then journeys to the world of spirits and connects with spirit allies for healing work. These spirits are available to help everyone, and the shaman’s role is often to reconnect clients with their helping spirits, restoring their personal power. The best way to learn more about shamanic work is to learn to journey yourself! I offer on-demand training and live teleclasses to teach you how to meet your spirit guides and experience this magical world for yourself.

What is Shamanic Animal Communication and how does is differ from telepathic animal communication?

Jark and Kolur
Shamanism is the ancient practice of healing wherein the shaman goes into a trance like state and communicates with spirits. The reasons they do this are to get information and knowledge, and to request healings for other beings (and sometimes for themselves)
Medicine people are shamans. The term comes from the Tuval language from Siberia, but is used to describe medicine people who work in this way across the globe. All indigenous people use shamanistic practices for their healing work, and most “folk” cultures do as well.
Entering the trance-like “shamanic state of consciousness” is not hard to do, but typically involves some training. In shamanic animal communication we first enter the shamanic state of consciousness, we then connect with a personal helping spirit who loves us and who wishes to help us help animal. Then we connect with the animal with whom we wish to communicate. When we are in the shamanic state of consciousness we enter a world we call “non-ordinary reality”. In many ways is it like moving around on earth in ordinary reality, but it more dream like. When we are there our “connected self” is able to move about and reach out to the “connected selves” of other beings. I use these terms because they best describe the phenomena of this experience. You can experience this for yourself in one of my workshops.
The core difference between telepathic animal communication and shamanic communication is that in shamanic communication you always work with the help of a compassionate spirit. This spirit guides you quickly and surely to the client animal, he can diagnose the situation and give clear and helpful advice, he facilitates the communication session by interpreting confusing information when necessary, and most important, he can do direct and miraculous healing for the animals and the people involved.
Those people who have experience doing telepathic communication find working shamanically with the helping spirits to be richer and more beneficial for the clients. And those who are just learning find it very easy to connect with the animal using this method.
Shamanic Healing Techniques

Shaman on Deer
Some frequently used shamanic healing methods are soul retrieval, power animal retrieval, extraction, spiritual healing, and psychopomp (escorting “dead” spirits to the other world). Over the years the spirits have also shown me a deep clearing and healing methodology I call Spiral Healing. The spirits use Spiral Healing to clear deeply entrenched emotional and physical issues in people and animals.
Soul Retrieval
Shamans believe that when a person suffers from a physical or psychological trauma a part(s) of the soul splits off and no longer contributes to the person’s whole being. Instead it stays fixed in the event, but in non ordinary reality. This dissociation is called soul loss, and it often results in loss of memory, or a feeling of incompleteness. This disengagement makes it easier to survive traumas such as accidents, abuse, or emotional disturbances. Children can suffer soul loss from events that are traumatic to them, but may seem trivial to adults. Soul loss can also occur when another person “holds” onto a part of us, and doesn’t let go. (An old lover perhaps.)
Once the traumatic event is over complete healing can occur when the soul part(s) that is missing is returned. The shaman facilitates this event by journeying into non ordinary reality and, with the help of spirit allies, finding the missing soul parts and bringing them back home. Then there is a period of integration, where the client gets to know the returned soul part(s) again, and together they work to heal the old wounds. This often takes several months.
The concept is the same for animals as it is for people with a few exceptions. Carla has achieved beneficial results doing soul retrievals for horses, dogs and cats.
Power Animal Retrieval

Snow Lepord
All people and animals can enjoy the power, strength and comfort of an alliance with a spiritual power animal. The spirits of wild animals work with shamans, guiding them through their journeys, giving advice and performing healings. Often the first thing a modern shamanic healer does for a client is retrieve a power animal for them. The person then bonds with the animal by honoring it in ordinary reality, visiting it during quiet meditation, and dancing in a way that lets the animal move through his or her limbs. Domestic animals also benefit from power animal retrieval.
Illness Extraction
Often illness has a spiritual component as well as a physical component. When people and animals are vulnerable and disempowered it is possible for entities that don’t belong to enter our bodies. These misplaced entities can cause persistent sickness, soreness and other undesirable things. As a shaman one of my key functions is to work with my spirits to extract these misplaced entities and deliver them to a neutral place, where they can contribute to the overall good of things (instead of causing harm). This process is called extraction, and it is a very common healing activity in my work. The results are immediate and powerful. After an extraction we always fill the space with positive healing power of some kind.
Spiritual Prescription
These are the instructions that my spirits give to further the healing. They often involve giving herbs, essences, diet changes and touch therapy. So far the spirits have been completely right in their prescriptions. I’ve been given prescriptions for poultices, massage, aroma therapy, herbs, exercise and many other things. I work with various healing spirits to obtain this information. As I am not an herbalist or expert in most of these areas I always recommend that the person investigate the recommended treatment and confirm it with an educated ordinary-reality source. Many times the information I get is new information to me, so I learn as much as the client!
Imparting Spiritual Energy and Power
This has many forms. My spirit allies may touch the animal and impart healing power. This can be similar to “energy” healing. I may be instructed to impart the power of an element, plant, light, crystal and/or other powerful things into the animal. We also may chant over the animal. It is completely individual.

Healing Sessions with the Compassionate Spirits are Magical!
For your animals and for yourself, the compassionate spirits can bring blessings, relief and delight into our lives.
Emotional problems, physical issues, questions about what to do next – no matter what, the spirits reach deep into the roots of the issues, and heal them at their source, bringing blessings and gifts for everyone involved. I strive to be an open channel, allowing the voice and healing power of the spirits to come through me like a “hollow bone”.
Animal Sessions
- I will communicate with your animal, and give you a CD transcript of the communications.
- I will ask the compassionate spirits to diagnose the problem(s) and then heal it!
- I will learn what you can do to help the animal.
- If your animal has died, I will make sure it is happily settled in the spirit world, and will communicate any messages he or she has for you, and you for them.
→ Learn more about Animal Sessions
Human Sessions
- Soul retrieval, personal empowerment, healing for illness and injury, life path exploration, healing deep old wounds, communicating with your ancestors and loved ones – the Spirits can bring help and guidance for so many things!
- Over the course of thousands of session I have experienced amazing things, and each session reveals new shamanic wisdom. I look forward to helping you with your dilemmas and supporting your dreams.

The Session Flow
Most sessions are done over the phone, although if you are in Phoenix area you may wish to come for an in-person appointment. I speak out loud and record the journey for you. Many people get additional insights and healing as they re-listen. I will also just do the work and send the recording if it is too difficult for us to match schedules. Appointments usually take 1 hour for animals, and 1.5 hours for people.
We begin by setting the intention for the session. Then I turn on a voice recorder and begin to journey. When I am near the end I ask you if you have questions or requests of the spirits. When we are finished we debrief and I explain anything that was unclear. After we are off the phone I send you an email with a link to the recording, and then I burn a CD of it for you and sent it to you. I usually send a small empowered object as well to further your healing and protection.

I prefer to set sessions during weekdays during the day but I do make exceptions when I can fit it around family. I am on Arizona time. You can make an appointment by calling 623-776-6922, by emailing me: carla@spirithealer.com or by filling out the form on Order Session pages
