Multifariously talented* shamanic healer and teacher Sue Holmes talks to us about memories recovered late in life and, once she'd recovered conscious awareness of it, how she did her own healing, integrated different parts of herself and left victim feelings behind.
How do you handle abuses of power within spiritual communities, and what does it take to speak up? We discuss what can happen when you expose the shadow side of your own community, and the importance of working on your own shadow, whether your community embraces or rejects it. *Sue's many past and present careers include HGV-driver, gardener, overland adventure tour guide, feng shui practitioner, shamanic healer and teacher and musician.
