WHAT IS SHAMANIC PSYCHOTHERAPY?

Shamanic Psychotherapy is an original psychological-spiritual framework developed by Luisa Elena Kolker over more than thirty-five years. It integrates mysticism, shamanism, family systems psychology, energy psychology, Jungian archetypal theory, and embodied spiritual practice.

My work emerged from a question that has guided me for much of my adult life:

Why do caring, mystically inclined people continue to struggle with shame, loneliness, relationship difficulties, self-doubt, and the effects of trauma—even after years of therapy, personal growth, and spiritual practice?

This inquiry has led me to develop a model that bridges psychology and spirituality while remaining grounded in lived, relational experience.

Whether through psychotherapy, mentorship, online courses, ceremony, writing, or continuing education programs, my work is devoted to helping people cultivate a more authentic relationship with themselves, with others, and with what I call their Fully Blossomed Self.

Begin Exploring Ethical, Relational Mysticism

Whether you are seeking personal healing, professional development, or advanced clinical supervision, these offerings are designed to build upon one another while also standing on their own.

If you are new to my work, I recommend beginning with The Embodied Mystic, where you will learn the foundational practices of embodied mysticism and begin cultivating an intimate relationship with your inner world.

The Alchemy of Your Inner Community

Transforming the Inner World

Once we have learned to enter the inner world and understand its architecture, another process begins.

The members of our Inner Community gradually begin organizing themselves around the leadership of the Fully Blossomed Self.

Together we explore themes such as:

• The Inner Heart Warrior
• The Precious Child
• The Wounded Child
• The Magical Child
• The Golden Shadow
• Trauma Bonds
• Boundaries and Authentic Relationship
• Sex and Love Addiction
• Source
• Living from the Fully Blossomed Self

This level of the work with me introduces another conceptual framework and archetypal alliances. Ultimately, though, it is transforming our relationships with the mystical allies and psychological community members that reside within us.

Prerequisite: The Embodied Mystic and/or Shamanic Psychotherapy Mentorship Program.

The Shamanic Psychotherapy Practicum

Offering Shamanic Psychotherapy work to others from our own Integrated Inner World

The Practicum is an advanced apprenticeship for therapists and healing practitioners who wish to deepen their capacity for ethical discernment, relational consciousness, and advanced shamanic psychotherapeutic practice.

Rather than emphasizing additional techniques, this practicum cultivates what I believe is the practitioner’s primary instrument:

Consciousness itself.

Through supervision, mentorship, experiential learning, and clinical consultation, participants learn to perceive more clearly, relate more ethically, and intervene from an increasingly integrated state of consciousness.

I also work with individuals and couples who are navigating relational trauma, developmental wounding, shame, grief, spiritual crisis, family system dynamics, and significant life transitions.

My approach combines psychotherapy, embodied practice, shamanic perception, and what I sometimes call relational-trauma detective work.

Sessions are available by Zoom and telephone.

At Its Heart

At its heart, my work is about relationship: Relationship with yourself, relationship with others, relationship with the systems that have influenced and conditioned you, and relationship with with the mystery that lives underneath and behind all creation.

My hope is that this work supports you in cultivating an increasingly authentic, ethical, and embodied relationship with yourself, and from that place, with the world around you.
