Shamanic Journeying

Do you have a pressing question relating to your life, relationships, work, projects, or business that you’re struggling to answer?

Often the answers to our most troubling queries and the solutions to our perennial problems lie undiscovered outside of our everyday ordinary state of consciousness and the corresponding physical reality that we find ourselves immersed within for the majority of our waking lives.

‘The elusive information and insight you seek lie undiscovered, seemingly out of reach, in the non-ordinary reality of Spirit.’


Allow Richard, accompanied by his Spirit Allies, to Journey on your behalf to the Spirit realms to pose your question and seek out the answers you need now relative to your unique and current life context, content, and conflict.

Your question can be general or specific. It could be a deep soul-searching inquiry or related to a more mundane day-to-day problem that is calling for your attention and a timely resolution. Typically questions tend to be open-ended in that they don't demand a direct and literal yes or no answer.

One should avoid ‘Should I…’ and ‘Why is…’ questions and instead frame them as ‘What will I learn if…’ or ‘What am I not seeing in relation to…’

Rephrasing questions in this manner expands the canvas of communication with which Spirit can convey your answer more broadly.

'Answers' in the form of information are rendered by Spirit and Richard’s Spirit Allies metaphorically for your ongoing consideration in the detail and in the bigger picture. Indeed the whole journey represents your answer.

Example questions to Spirit


'What do I need to know right now about my…?’

'What am I not seeing about this problem or situation?’

'What will I learn if I choose this course of action?’

‘What is it that I truly want in relation to my…?

'What do I need to know right now?’

How does it work?

Firstly you’ll schedule a brief no-charge video call (up to 30 minutes) with Richard to discuss any queries you may have and define and refine your question to Spirit. Unless communicated otherwise this will be the only time you need to speak with Richard before your scheduled session commences.

On booking a one-hour appointment and confirming your exchange of payment Richard will carry out a Shamanic Journey with your question on your behalf remotely from his studio at the allotted time.

Choose a time when you can be ‘unavailable’ for a full hour and will have abstained from alcohol or substances for 24 hours (ideally 48 hours) prior.

You are not required to log in, dial in, check in, meet, or speak with Richard in person or online during, or immediately before or after your session.

Richard’s Work will be undertaken remotely, in isolation, and undisturbed.

Aim to have nothing to do but relax alone in silence (please ensure your devices are set to do not disturb or flight mode), be present with yourself, undistracted by anyone, anything, or any day-to-day tasks or activities, and 'tune' into the session at hand while holding your question in mind.

Should doing ‘nothing’ for an hour be a struggle or a logistical impossibility, you could read, take a nap, sketch, draw, or paint. Aim to think of your question every fifteen minutes or so. Just give it some thought while doing whatever it is that you’re doing.

Ideally this ‘doing’ will be internally orientated. I.e. it isn’t a task or project for someone external to you. Nobody else will be ‘in the room’ and it will be carried out in peace and quiet, somewhere comfortable.

If obligations prevail and you simply aren’t able to allocate this time to yourself, then so be it, the Shamanic Journey will proceed regardless. Remember you aren’t required to log in, meet, or speak with Richard in person or online during, or immediately before or after your session.

Prior to the appointed time, Richard will prepare the field by calling to his Allies in the Spirit realm. At the time of your appointment, he will journey to his Allies and pose your question, recording what he 'sees' and then transcribe a written report that he will email you for you to interpret.

The journey and subsequent transcript report will not be interpreted in any way by Richard. That is not his role. It will be for you to reflect upon in relation to your question, during the days, weeks, and months that follow.

Sometimes the 'answer' will be obvious and clear. At other times it may take a while to make sense to you. Indeed the meaning of the ‘answer’ or information may change over time and with each review of your report.

While this is all quite normal it’s advisable to remember that the process of interpretation and integration remains unique to you and relative to your past, present, and future life context, content, and conflict.

When the Shamanic Journey Report is issued you will be asked to schedule a follow-up video call (up to 30 minutes) with Richard to review the outcome of the Shamanic Journey and discuss any further Work to be explored as required.

Client Experience

‘I was carrying this knot of anxiety in my stomach. I’d endured several weeks of rising tension and anxiety culminating in existential fear of not being able to get any of my creativity out, of being blocked. Meditation wasn’t helping. My diaphragm felt like it was being pulled up tightly into my chest.

Our conversation gave me hope, perspective, and confidence to continue. I was really, really inspired. That weekend, leading up to my Monday deadline I prepared my creative pitch. Everything became cohesive and it just came out of me and slipped into place really naturally. I’d found my flow. I became passionately obsessed with the project like I used to be at college.

When I presented my work the client absolutely loved it and was astounded at the quality of ideas I’d explored in such a short amount of time. Perhaps most important to me was that I loved the project in the doing and the outcome. I haven’t had that depth of passion and been that confident in and convinced by my creative thoughts, skills, and abilities for a long time.

It reminded me of the thrill and enjoyment of working long, hard, and late to complete a final design project at university. My resounding thoughts that weekend and after were that this is exactly what I should be doing and how I should be doing it and who I should be doing it with. Everything came together. It was a delight. Our conversation and your journey with my question and the story you presented to me in the Shamanic Question Journey Report helped me establish a new way of being and creating.

I’ve since been invited to be involved with a significant number of very high-profile creative projects. A slew of incredibly exciting opportunities. All of a sudden these kinds of openings are being presented to me since we last spoke. The way in which I’ve been able to handle this influx and respond has definitely been influenced by our conversation and your journey report. I just thought to hell with it. I’m not feeling shy about going all in now.

I’ve now got people eager to work with and for me. World-class companies are reaching out to me. I’m enjoying a lot more peace of mind now and very, very excited about the growth potential and future possibilities.

I feel I can finally feel and be more myself, secure, clear, and confident in who and where I am in my career. What will be will be.

I really enjoyed the metaphors in the journey. I really liked that. There was a problem there, my problem, and the journey described and defined that problem in a different way so I could then be more objective about it. 

It’s kind of like when I’ve been meditating and recognising that the whole goal is not being owned by your thoughts. Seeing your thoughts for what they are and being able to let them go rather than them defining you.

It felt like you’d taken that problem and put it ‘over there’ as a story.

‘Ok, that’s that then.’ I thought. I can be much more objective about it and less consumed by it, and less defined by it. The story gave the problem some shape and colour and it was like there it is, that’s what it is. There’s nothing to see here. It was really good, I was really impressed. It was just really great.

I was intrigued and excited when reading it.

I was able to make an intellectual connection from a completely different point of view. Right, this is what it looks like. What I’d been experiencing was a cocktail of negative emotions that were fuelling my incessant negative thoughts that were having a debilitating physical impact on my body in the form of tension and anxiety. It just felt like, phew, it’s a different thing now, it’s down on paper, in a different medium. It has no power over me.

I feel like it’s definitely unlocked something. 

My manner, my confidence, my way of talking, my way of showing up, and my way of being has definitely shifted for the better. I’m no longer holding back. I’m more secure in my relationship, losing my temper in frustration and anger much less, and closer and more connected to my children.

I’m able to just be and enjoy the moment and the process wherever I am, whatever I’m doing, and whoever I’m with. I’m much more confident in how I’m interacting with people. The relational dynamics with myself, my family, and my colleagues have changed significantly and for the better.

I can see things more objectively, from an external point of view. Now any anxiety that I feel about my creativity and ability is sitting next to me and not in me. I can deal with it better and not allow it to inhibit and restrict me.

This journeying process and conversations have loosened something deep inside me. It’s given permission for a more authentic version of myself to step forward and catalyse an enhanced way of being in relation to my creativity and potential that is moving me in a direction I absolutely want to go.

When I’m happy at and with my work, my home life is always much better. During dire existential moments like I’ve shared with you here where a crisis of confidence is merely just the tip of the iceberg my personal intimate relationships always suffer and spiral rapidly towards disaster. Not anymore.

This really has been so incredibly helpful, thank you.’
