More About Evelyn & Allie
Evelyn C. Rysdyk, author of the books, Spirit Walking: A Course in Shamanic Power, A Spirit Walker’s Guide to Shamanic Tools, The Nepalese Shamanic Path (with Nepalese jhankri, Bhola Banstola) and Shamanic Creativity; and C. Allie Knowlton, MSW, DCSW, author of Exploring Your Multidimensional Self: A Shamanic Perspective; are committed to help you increase your personal power, feel your intrinsic sacredness and expand your connections to All That Is. Their extensive experience insures you of safe shamanic healing encounters, as well as opportunities to train in shamanism with confidence. “We help you to: Heal your Past, Enrich your Present and Envision your Future!”
They have dedicated their lives to the Earth-centered, visionary ways of the shaman and were included in Traveling Between the Worlds, a book of interviews with twenty four of the most influential teachers and writers of shamanism. They are internationally recognized presenters, teaching workshops on ecospirituality, the shamanic journey process and advanced shamanic methods across the United States and Canada since 1991.
Evelyn and Allie have trained with Michael Harner, Ph.D. and Sandra Ingerman, LMFT, LPCC and are graduates of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies Second East Coast Three-Year Program, as well as Sandra’s Medicine for the Earth and shamanic teacher trainings. They have also been very fortunate to study with many indigenous shamans including Fredy “Puma” Quispe Singona of Peru, AiChurek from Tuva, Bhola N. Banstola of Nepal, and the renowned, Ulchi shaman, Grandfather Mikhail “Misha” Duvan, to name just a few.
Since 2020, their work has expanded to a global audience through fresh online content, courses and mentorships through their Spirit Passages Academy. This shift has allowed an even wider group of people to receive the nurturing, empowering and healing presence they have been providing for over thirty years.
Evelyn & Allie recognize that as people grow and evolve, they are much more likely to express their love and caring for our environment and other beings – essentially becoming the “one’s we’ve been waiting for!”
“AMAZING!
I thought those two women were absolutely amazing, and when I told someone close of my experience, we both found that the shamanic journey answered some of our oldest questions. I also told one of my closest friends about it, and we spent another hour or two trying to retrace the steps that I was shown in order for her to experience something similar as well. She was in awe and almost in tears. Thank you so much . . ..” – STUDENT AT USM
