Spiritual Initiation

Whether you go through formal initiation ceremonies or not, it is ultimately spirit that initiations. Initiation happens at a deep level of spirit and usually involves a symbolic death and rebirth.

John talks about initiation, how birth and death are initiations, and why initiation is important.

He talks about how we get stuck when we misidentify as "external" things and even gives an exercise to shake things up.

Profile picture for John Moore

John Moore

John Moore is an irreverent spiritual teacher and shamanic practitioner. Having spent over two decades in the corporate world as a computer scientist, John entered a "dark night of the soul." This manifested as a mental, physical, and spiritual crisis. This crisis, as John would learn later, was an archetypal call to shamanic initiation.

John dove headfirst into the practice of shamanism, looking to his Celtic and Norse ancestral line. He has explored altered states of consciousness, becoming a certified hypnotherapist and meditation instructor.

John considers himself a guide, not a guru - helping people find the path towards their own connection to the divine.
