Welcome!
Making the Spiritual Practical
A Quick Intro
Thanks for stopping by. If you’ve been searching for answers to the problem of addiction, and feel that something is still missing despite everything you’ve checked out…
Welcome. You’re in the right place.
Because that’s exactly the way I felt when I was working through the programs, therapies and medicines that were provided to me.
So now, let me propose a question:
What if the answers were never out there to begin with?
The work of The Sober Shaman starts with this single shift: stop searching, start trusting. Because when you make that flip, everything changes; how you see addiction, how you see recovery, and how you see yourself.
You can trust the truths that:
Speak to your Heart
Touch your Soul and
Resonate in your Bones
And that’s what I hope The Sober Shaman can deliver to you!



Lay of the Land
Start With These:
To give you insight into how-this-all-works, here’s three foundational posts: The Premise, A Paradox, and 3 Principles. Everything else in here is built upon these basics. Read, listen to, or watch them and see how they land.
The Sober Shaman Podcast
Through solo-casts and interviews with others who express their curious minds & compassionate hearts, you’ll get innovative and original perspectives on medicine, healing and practical spirituality.
The Program
Comprised of 52 separate yet interdependent Lessons, they provide a deep-dive into one recovery related topic every Lesson of the Week - that’s one per week for an entire year. Every one is supported by a Live session (anonymous to attend) and an audio Q&A, and contains step-by-step guidance through the PDF workbook, 3 videos, 2 experiential exercises, a checklist summary and professional notes. This is the exact material that was successfully integrated at world-class inpatient centers, universities and private practices. It’s proven work - and you’re supported the whole way.
Practices
“It takes a new experience to change an old belief” and each one of these posts provide a path of practice to do exactly that. You can start by downloading Your Guide to the Shamanic Journey and becoming a free member.
