Soul & Destiny Retrieval
These are both challenging and beautiful times. I just returned from swimming in crystal clear waters. Summer invites us to return to nature, to recharge, and to reconnect with what truly nourishes us. Where do you go to find peace? What restores your spirit and connects you to your soul?
For me, it’s lying beneath the trees, watching their branches sway gently above, listening to the melodic songs of birds, dipping into the water, hiking in the mountains, playing sound bowls and singing. There is profound healing available in the natural world—if we allow ourselves to receive it. It welcomes us home into our wholeness.
Every moment is an invitation to arrive fully inside of our bodies in the now. To remember that you are already whole. This remembrance is a sacred key—it opens doors to healing, joy, and deep connection.
In shamanic tradition, "soul retrieval" refers to the process of reclaiming lost or fragmented parts of our vital energy—parts that may have been left behind in times of trauma, stress, or disconnection. "Destiny retrieval" is about calling your highest path, those dreams you may have abandoned or forgotten, the life you came here to live forward.
We all long to feel whole, yet we already are. Life’s experiences—accidents, challenges in childhood, or moments of great upheaval can cause parts of our soul to retreat for protection while something overshadows it. This can be sensed as a dullness, lack of direction, depression, or simply feeling like something is missing or there must be more to life. When you are disconnected from the spontaneity of who you are, you can get in to states of longing, become aware of all the static around and unable to hear your own signal, voice and frequency.
Sometimes it's subtle as moments when we “check out,” loose presence, or forget our essence. These parts of our true essence don’t disappear; they wait to be remembered and retrieved. In the shamanic perspective through sessions and journeying, we travel to realms of our consciousness in the upper, middle and lower world to gently retrieve what has always been ours and us but is hidden from plain sight.
We need every part of ourselves that is our vital energy: the joyful child, the powerful woman or man, the creative master etc. We don’t need fixing—we need remembering. We can reclaim what’s already ours but has felt out of reach.
Reclaiming all of ourselves is our path home. It reminds us that we are and always have been—whole. You are always connected to your soul essence. No one and nothing can really take away this connection. It simply can disappear from view.
This kind of reclaimation and healing is not just personal. We are in a collective time for much needed soul and destiny retrieval. As a society, we are being called to remember a deeper way of living—in harmony with the Earth, in alignment with natural time, and in kindness toward one another. It’s ancient wisdom in our bones, waiting to be remembered.
When you reclaim your soul and your destiny, you ripple that healing into the collective.
