Richmond IONS April 2022 Meeting
“My Shamanic Walk on the Spiritual Path”
Our April 16, 2022 program will feature a talk by Isabel Cristina Bolivar, Columbian-American traditional energetic healer, wisdom keeper and teacher.
Isabel (Isa) Cristina Bolivar’s journey was the successful immigrant story until twelve years ago, when she reached a fork in the road. Every success story is not without its challenges, and when Isa faced her challenges in 2010, she experienced a “Now what?” moment.
On a trip to her homeland of Colombia, she met Carlos Palchucan, a traditional Amazonian shaman, and was persuaded to experience an Ayahuasca ceremony.
During her shamanic journeys, she discovered the answer to her question and the choice was clear which way to go, but that was just the beginning. Even though Isa had been interested in esoteric wisdom and studied Reiki energy healing, the initiation she experienced during her shamanic journeys offered her far more- ̶an expanded understanding about herself, her relationship with the Divine, her soul journey, and her unfolding life purpose.
Isa continued studying with Carlos Palchucan while also learning about other shamanic practices as well as western healing modalities. She eventually synthesized all these practices into a non-traditional shamanic way of living in a multi-dimensional universe.
Isa will share some experiences of her shamanic journeys, and about other shamanic ceremonies and rituals such as Moon Dancing Circles, Sahumadora (the art of incense), Kambo, plant medicine, and quantum consciousness, both from the Spanish and U.S. perspectives.
She has remembered and fused many lifetimes as a shaman in many cultures and honed her shamanic skills to serve as a bridge between the South American traditional culture and Western contemporary culture, and to help people heal the wounds which separate them from their true self, and restore them to their innate gifts and inner wisdom.
Isa’s story is the classic hero’s journey, and she shares her story to remind us that we are all heroes.
