Shamanic Animal Healing Level 3: Deep Work with Big Power
A 5-week, 2-hour teleclass
“I learned so much in this class! The work we did was awesome. I thought Carla did a great job of teaching it. Carla was able to help each of us with our questions and gave us lots of new insights.” Lyn B.
The third course goes farther and deeper, giving you the skills to deal with more difficult problems. We begin to discover the hidden causes of problems that often go unresolved, even with lots of healing work. You will learn to call in protection for specific issues, and you will learn to use the advice of the spirits to help guide your client’s choices. We do deep transfigurational work, and we touch upon depossession, introducing you to the techniques you will need to help animals who are deeply challenged,emotionally and physically.
Your initiation experiences in this course will help you uproot and heal the hidden causes of your own problems, providing you the foundation to do the same for your clients.
This series of classes, and case studies in Level 4, gives you the knowledge, experience and confidence to embark upon a life time of helping animals heal using shamanism.
What you get
- Five weekly 2-hour teleclass calls. Class sizes are small (under 10) and you get lots of individual attention. Each week you will get a recordings of the call for review.
- A handout booklet that outlines the information and spells out each journey exercise.
- Membership in an email list to connect us during the week.

Shamanic Animal Healing Level 2: Core Healing Practices
A 6-week teleclass
I would encourage anyone who feels called to the sacred world of shamanism to take Carla Person’s course. I am honored and humbled by her teachings and by her respect for our Spirit Guides,Teachers and Power Animals. Brenda
The second course introduces you to core shamanic healing practices of illness extraction and compassionate power retrieval. These cornerstone practices are the basis of most shamanic healing techniques. To excel in them you will need to have a strong footing in non-ordinary reality and be able to enlist the help of a variety of helping spirits. This course will give you experience in creating your sacred space in both realities, and will help you cross between the worlds with confidence. You will also learn to cross other spirits between the worlds as you learn to escort the dead to their families beyond.
Your initiatory experiences in this course involve bringing spirit closely inside you, to move with you and interact in a personal way that brings profound healing and understanding.
You get:
- Six weekly teleclass calls 1.5 hours long. Class sizes are small (under 10) and you get lots of individual attention. Each week you will get a recordings of the call for review.
- A handout booklet that outlines the information and spells out each journey exercise.
- Membership in an email list to connect us during the week
When I think back to where we all were in the first Level 1 class, it is absolutely AMAZING how much we’ve already learned!!!! Neato!!!!!!
Jean – after the second session of level two.
After the third session of this class most everyone who takes it is doing powerful shamanic healing for animals that produce profound results. And you are only half way through this amazing sequence of training!

I just talked with a cat who died last week. This cat said that the body is amazingly tenacious. She was commenting on the pain and suffering that we so often have to go through at the end. She said, “Well what do you expect? To have a body that will stay strong through all of the attacks and tempests life brings means that it will be strong in trying to stay alive at the end. It is the price we pay. Fortunately after you finally die it is easy to forget the pain and just relax again. EVERYONE has to go through it. It is part of the deal of being born. Oh well!”
She never expected euthanasia and couldn’t imagine blaming her person for not having a Doc at hand at 3:00 AM.
She was pretty philosophical. Her last hours were rough, according to her person. It was an interesting lesson!

If you are having trouble getting started in your shamanic journey work because your mind wanders, or you have thoughts that you can’t do the work – here is something to try:
Set up a basket, jar or container in your room, and you put all your reservations and disbelief into it before you begin journeying. You can get it back later when you are done, or you can ask the spirits to transfigure them. Sometimes our I can’ts come from a belief system that is in conflict with the work. The person might need to think it all through and find a common ground, but the belief system is really so subliminal that it is hard to put a finger on it. So this basket method can help, because you may really WANT to take the things back and work with them later. I have met many beginning students who feel that their catholic upbringing sets them at odds with shamanic practice, and they struggle to get started because of these inner conflicts. But there is a Sister in Flagstaff who teaches shamanism from a catholic perspective, and it is fabulous work. So maybe we just need to set aside our I can’ts and belief systems, and just concentrate on phenomena, and let the thinking part come later.

Sallie Rallies For Love
NC was worried about Sally, an older dog who was having difficulties. Sally barely got around, walked stiffly, and needed help getting into the car. Also, she has been experiencing some skin problems and food allergies. NC would like to find out how she is feeling. What can be done to make her happy and more comfortable? What does she think about dying, is she scared? NC asks: “Do I need to think of having her put down yet or does she still have a lot of life left?”
Carla’s journey for Sallie:
“I took her on a trip to the upper world where she saw the place she would go and met the dogs she will be with. She was THRILLED and hardly wanted to come back. But she really wants to be with you for more time, so she came home. When her time finally comes the lead dog spirit will come to her with a special crystal collar and ask her to come with him. She will tell you by not wanting to get up at all, nor eat. She will look at you with loving eyes, just to say she loves you. You will know the time is right. She may actually just pass in her sleep. She loves you very much. Sally is in a good place emotionally and will let you know when it is time for her to go – so you can have a lot of comfort in that. When you feel it is time – IT IS!”
NC is happy when Sallie rallies:
“I just wanted to let you know Sally is doing great. She has a lot more energy and gets excited about going for our morning walks again. She is eating good and her quality of life has really improved. I am sure it is a combination of no longer fearing death, her new diet, and perhaps just knowing how much we love her.
It is we who are honored by your help. We will always be grateful!”

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.

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.

Our Workshop in Hawaii
The Journey with the Reef workshop turned into an initiation for me as the Ancient Spirits of Hawai’i gave me precise instructions for proper conduct and warned me of the consequences if we didn’t do things in the way they prescribed. There really are rules! But before we had a night of instructions, we celebrated a wedding in old authentic Hawai’ian style. Read about it in Yes Spirits, We are Listening. http://carlaperson.wordpress.com/yes-spirits-we-are-listening-hi-08/

We are the children of Honu (Hawaiian for Turtle). We are the fruit of her creation. Honu remakes us as she travels the globe. globe. We are reborn with each egg that hatches. We are rescued with each turtle saved from a net. Honu has taught me that each action we take, each attitude we hold, in fact every part of our being is connected to the rest of the planet and all of life. We know this intellectually and journey work brings us direct connection to it. But I have never had the body slamming, mind expanding, viscerally complete understanding of it until Honu entered my being and made her home in my soul. This summer I traveled to Hawaii and I opened my heart to her and to all the loving ancient spirits who guide us gently from the land of Aloha. I came back a different person. Read more here: The story of working with Honu.

Bud
Deb Decker shared this incredible story of love and healing for her kitty as he transitioned. It is so true that our connection to them helps them as they move from this plane to the other. And the blessing of being able to stay connected to them in a healthy way really is the best of the best. Thank you Deb for sharing this wonderful story! Carla
“When Bud–my beloved international-winning Havana Brown show cat that I helped bring into this world–was diagnosed with liver failure, I worked very hard with Carla and my holistic vet to first try and heal him. But the damage to his liver was too great from the tainted food he ate (it was kitten food on the Menu Food recall) despite his young age.
We all knew that he would soon leave us and I had one choice: to help make Bud’s transition as peaceful as possible for him, and with as little guilt on my part for not being able to save his life.
Bud was what I called an “ugly ducking”. I was there with Bud when he was born on September 3, 2006. From day one I started to talk with the babies (six little brown kittens!) and found that each had it’s own “voice”. Bud was the shy one who ended up displaying his “Siamese roots” by eating holes in my wool yoga blanket, toys and other non-cat-food items. While the others went off to either a show home or pet home, I had Bud–who was a roly poly “ugly duckling”. He was short-legged and had a round little belly. Now looking back we know it was the food that bloated out his liver. When the food recall was announced to my horror I had the packets of food with the tainted lot number. This was the type of kitten food I raised his mother on so my litter was raised on it too. He was a picky little cuss – except for his taste in wool, string and hair – so the only thing he would eat was the pouch food. In other words, his poor liver was getting nothing but poisons when I thought he was getting a nourishing diet.
After he got off the food, he slimmed down into a “gorgeous swan” and soon became the youngest of his breed to claim the # 1 alter worldwide! And then while at the large international show, he got sick. And it was down hill from there.
It was through journeying that I learned from Carla at workshops that I was able to help Bud–and myself!–to get through all of this. I always journeyed with Bud before a show, and sometimes during a show if I felt he had a “question” or needed some help with a situation (i.e. a cat at the show, a judge, maybe that new fangled toy he saw!). He was really a funny little boy. A true showman….and a diva! He won the hearts of many judges, breeders and exhibitors. Oh, and spectators too. We’d be at a show and he’d say in his cute little voice “what is up with that cat crying?” So journeying with him as a kitten had allowed us to have an open communication during his (short) life. And that also allowed us to move through his illness, and eventual transition.
When we realized he would not make it, I journeyed to help him with this. He was young, and he loved his mama Gwendolyn so much. He didn’t want to leave me either. But he sure didn’t want to leave his mom. Gwendolyn, Prissy (an old dog that had passed away years ago) and Spatz (my first cat that Carla met!) were there to help out. Bud was not ready, and it took a while for him to realize that his life on earth was really meant to be short, and he had bigger things to do once he crossed over.
Three days before he was to pass away, I heard him clickity clack into the office (I didn’t trim his nails at the end…why?) and then his sweet voice say “I know it’s almost time…” then he jumped into the window and watched the Blue Jays and Cardinals eating suet and seed. He turned his big eyes at me and said “I love you, and I’m ready.”
The morning of December 6, 2007 I woke up. He was in his bed, but I could tell he was not doing well. So I put him on the bed…Gwen crawled up next to him and started to bathe him…and I put my hand on his side and started to journey. We called circle and not only did my power animals come in, but his angels, guardian spirits and power animals came in too. And then my cats and dogs who had passed over, including his three sisters who had died at the ages of 3-7 days. His sisters were crystal keepers and they brought a gorgeous crystal for Bud. Prissy — my old Schipperke who was so fat she had to have a Mallard duck to fly around on in the heavens–brought the mate to her duck for Bud to ride when he was ready to cross over. Spatz was there to help along with my grandmother. And Butch, my old Angora who was a head in the crystal palace, showed Bud that he was to do healing work on animals, and help lost animals get home. He had a wonderful mission ahead of him. And as Butch said with his Cheshire smile “You’ll be the best cat in the biggest cat show ever!”
With that I heard a long sigh….and I opened my eyes to see Bud gone. I wrapped him up, held him, blessed him, and told him to soar on the back of his new winged friend and I would see him. (Spatz also informed me Bud would go through a 14-day transition period so he could adjust to his new role and spiritual body.)
Although I still miss the little diva….by journeying from the first sign of illness through his transition, I know that Bud has a bigger role to play. He has shown me his healing work and it’s funny to hear Prissy (who still works with him) jump his butt because he’s just doing a young brash “kid thing”. I know I now can call on Bud to help out at the shows (he still comes and hangs out and calms his mom down if she’s in the ring) and he has even helped me and the other cats and dogs.
Knowing he is happy, and is playing a role in helping others, has given me a sense of peace. I didn’t carry–nor do I carry–the guilt that I fed him food (that I thought was good for him! who knew it was poison for my baby?) I still cry at times, don’t get me wrong! But the minute I do I think “why?” and then I’ll hear him say “because you like to stroke my chin”.
So you know what I do? I close my eyes, and meet him in our favorite place next to a gorgeous, babbling stream….and I stroke his chin.”

Shamanism is as old as mankind. It is a way of walking, hearing, seeing and being that connects us to the world beneath the world, the spirit that is inside, outside, enmeshed in and parallel to the ordinary world we perceive every day.
We begin a shamanic path by studying the ancient pathways that connect the worlds and teach us to work with spirit. Thanks to Micheal Harner and the Foundation for Shamanic Studies, these old worn paths, overgrown by modern culture, are being steadily cleared. Every day they grow more visible to us and are now fairly easy to follow.
Modern shamanic teachers take people first along the wide and clearly marked paths to teach them to journey. Think of the first few miles of a major trail right after the tail head. It is like a super highway and is populated by people of all types. Further into the forest the trails diverge and become less traveled, more rugged, and more adventuresome. Today’s shamanic teachers have cleared these paths for you into the specific areas of their interest: Celtic Shamanism, Shape Shifting, White Table, Animal Healing, Soul Retrieval, and so many more fascinating arenas.
I have opened paths that are about healing our Animal Partners (dogs, cats, horses etc) using shamanic methods. In my trainings I apply common shamanic techniques to animal clients. But I do so in a way that is unique to the trails I have uncovered. Over the course of 10 years of concentrated journey work and attention I have been taught a way of working shamanically that is very powerful, and is especially beneficial for working with animals and their people. I teach this method through telelclasses with the Animal Spirit Network, and through workshops worldwide and private trainings.
I am not sure exactly what cultural traditions I am following when I do my work. I am not much of a scholar. I am an explorer. I ask the spirits to show me how to achieve big results. I ask them to explain the cosmology of the world to me empirically: through shamanic journey experiences, results in my clients, and parallel experiences in my students. The results are profound for me and for my students. (By the way I enjoy taking workshops and connecting with other shamanic teachers. It is so exciting to learn the paths they have been shown, and to see if and how they overlap with the ones I am following.)
Here are the themes of the shamanic exploration I am embarking on today:

Spirals and the Nexus of Creation: At the center of the spiral is a place of brilliance. The place of creation itself. A client in that spiral can experience a transfiguration that explodes away the old and rebirths in pure divinity. The secret is in the preparation and the ceremony. I have two workshops that explore this : Healing in the Spiral of Time and Sacred Animal Masks. Sacred Animal Masks is offered in Phoenix and Chicago Spring 2008.
The Power of Ecosystems: This started with my desire to communicate with reef life (all the critters, not just whales and dolphins). Communicating with reef life opened up a new revelation for me in the power of using ecosystems as healers for clients and for the earth herself. As a result I see the earth totally differently today than I did even a year ago. I am currently exploring ecosystem work with my advanced private students. I will be birthing it in a week long workshop on private Caribbean sailing boat cruise in 2009. (Yes, we will swim with Dophins!)
Animal Tribes: Domestic Animals are very dependent upon their connection to their spirit tribes. The spirits tribes facilitate the death and dying process. They bring super powerful healing power. They give the animal a point of reference in the world. They hold any soul parts that were not fully committed to the body at birth. The tribal stories are the animal’s mythology, critical to the animal’s self concept. I am forever exploring these tribal connections and teaching about them in my trainings. There is more to this story too (there always is). Our power is a function of our connection to our tribes. Our tribes are our loved ones here on earth, our ancestors, spirit family, power animals and their tribes. We will be connecting to our Power Animal’s tribe in the Mask workshop – see the page links!
Please browse www.spirithealer.com to learn more about me, and www.spiritlearning.com to find out about studying with me.
My trainings are guidances. Your teachers are the spirits. Together we explore paths that are well worn, but over grown, and we rebirth that knowledge for the whole world!
In Spirit and Love – Carla
