FALL 2020 2020 Fall Edition of Essence Conversations with Jody Newsletter for Essence of Spirit Ceremonies | Maine Shamanism | Maine Officiants As most everyone who knows me will attest, I use personal stories as a means of conveying spiritual messages and wisdom that I receive from Divine Spirit. I define 'Divine' as the word of Creator, Universe, Higher Consciousness, Angels, Earth Spirit, Mother Nature, Great Spirit, Cosmic Intelligence, God, Mary and by other names or by no name at all.

SUMMER 2020 2020 Summer Edition of Essence Newsletter for Essence of Spirit Ceremonies | Maine Officiants | Maine Shamanism Seeing Through the Fog We are well into July 2020 and since my last message what a year it has been! I don’t know a soul who has not been affected by the events over the past six months. Amidst the myriad of evidence, opinions and theories one thing holds true and that is we are all seeing things through our own

Spring 2020 2020 Spring Edition of Essence Newsletter for Essence of Spirit Ceremonies | Maine Officiants | Maine Shamanism Beauty abounds! Green grass emerging from the frozen earth then a fresh blanket of snow paints a striking contrast against the crocuses that are crowning. As some of you have seen I’ve been posting photos of our feathered beauties that have come to feed and shelter in place at our little wooded sanctuary. I feel especially grateful for the messages that they

Winter 2020 2020 Winter Edition of Essence Newsletter for Essence of Spirit Ceremonies | Maine Officiants | Maine Shamanism Welcome to 2020 We have arrived! 20 years into the new millenium. Having lived and grown by the teachings of the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s I am faced with the wow factor in the reality of this New Year, new decade, new awareness. I hear the collective calling for change. An awakening to a greater consciousness. An illumination. I am being
Fall 2019
Fall 2019 The Season of Reflection As summer transitions into Fall; the season of the earth’s rest and renewal in the Northern Hemisphere, I am aware of my own cycle of change and the felt sense of an inward calling. With the waning daylight I find myself reflecting on this past years’ potential and what has been harvested as winter sets in. It has been a very busy and fruitful 11 months for which I am so very grateful. Today I
Summer 2019
Summer 2019 Welcome to the Summer edition of Conversations, my quarterly letter to share with you stories, insights and upcoming events & offerings from Maine Officiants and Essence of Spirit Ceremonies. Memorial Day weekend marked the second year anniversary of my brother’s passing. I feel a great loss in my life despite my understanding that his spirit is at peace. While attending a memorial day parade I was engaging my inner child by clapping, whoop-whooping and waving my hands at all
Jody is a wonderful ceremonialist; she is a powerful practitioner and facilitator of Spirit. She is nurturing and is a wonderful guide for ceremony and spirit work. I trust her…
I have been fortunate enough to receive healing work from Jody both in person and from a distance. Each time I worked with Jody I felt safe, loved and nurtured. Each session was extremely relaxing while also taking me to a higher level spirituality. Jody has helped me and my family through many difficult times. I highly recommend her services.
Jody has a warmth about her. In whatever she practices , teachers, ministers , she shows a miraculous degree of attention and compassion.. In her presence you immediately feel the infectious glow of Jody’s style.. She gives 200% of herself to everything she offers. She is authentic, passionate and true.. She is what you have been waiting for!
I’ve been working with Jody for over a year now and she is amazing. Her healing sessions are well worth the time spent with her, she makes you feel safe and secure, her wisdom is nurturing, and you’ll leave there feeling renewed and refreshed (there may be some tears). I also took her 2 day intro to shamanic pathways course, she handled it like she has been doing it for years and the experience was very eye opening. It left me wanting to know more. I started working with her under a mentor program she has designed, we worked together for 6 months. That program was the fuel I needed to step into who I truly am. Thank you Jody for being my guide and helping me on my path, you helped show me the door and I walked through it.
Jody is a brilliant ceremonialist and shamanic practitioner. She is a person of high integrity who works with compassion for her clients. You will not ever be disappointed with your Jody’s service.
Having a chance to work with Jody has been a blessing! She tuned into things I had been afraid to accept and brought in medicine to help me restore back to my essence. The next day, I feel more like myself, less afraid. The Universe is taking care of me. I trust that more now. Jody, you are not only truly gifted, but you have a beautiful, wise soul that elevates by just being around you. Thank you, Jody, for this wonderful healing!
It’s the magic, it’s the wisdom, it’s the amazing self-discovery that makes Jody’s shamanic journey so incredible, and essential for everyone searching for clarity, insight, discovery, healing and growth. From the moment Jody and I met (in person no less!) I knew immediately she was special. Jody’s warmth and light spills forth in her energy, words and actions. She is a spiritual mother whose energetic embrace is nurturing and uplifting. Professionally, as a Shaman and Spirit Guide, Jody’s gifts and skills are in a class of their own. It’s evident Jody has a passion for what she does. It’s also evident Jody is a gifted Spiritualist. As an intuitive and spiritualist myself, the standard I set to trust someone to take me on such a journey is high, to say the least. Not only did Jody meet that standard, she far exceeded what I could have possibly imagined. I enthusiastically recommend Jody for journeying, ceremonies and the spiritual services she provides.
