ABOUT ME

Greetings, Iā€™m Andy Copeman. I live with my partner Laurel Bay Tree in the beautiful rainforest near Maleny in SE Queensland. We also have a base near Toodyay in Western Australia, and our work takes us regularly to other places in Australia ā€¦ Adelaide region, Blue Mountains, etc

I first started studying Shamanic processes and techniques in my late teens, with a deep immersion starting after a big existential crisis in my life around age 40.

Over the 2 decades since then, I have studied and worked with Core Shamanic Drum Journeying, Soul Retrieval, Amazonian Shamanism, Celtic and Scandinavian Spirituality, Body-based Psychotherapy, Native American Sweat Lodge, Deep Ecology, Sound Healing and other techniques and philosophies that allow us to go into our inner world to find and heal the causes of dysfunction in our lives. This then allows us to function fully, and to find the tools and strength to support our friends, family and community.

For the past 15 years I have been guiding people through Shamanic realms, and I am constantly amazed at the healing and transformation this work brings.

I believe that this is, indeed, the time for these ancient practices and their modern offshoots... for us to learn to heal and transform so that we can re-write the story of our life on this planet ... for the survival and prospering of all beings.
