Martin has worked as a mental healthcare professional since 1977. \nHe is an accredited Transpersonal /Jungian Psychotherapist. He has trained in various forms of consciousness shifting methods including Holotropic Breathwork with Stanislav Grof\, Dreamwork\, Trance Dancing\, and Firewalking. His grandfather and mother were traditional folk healers\, and he is following in their footsteps. \nMartin’s work is influenced by the Druidic traditions of ancient Ireland. He has done fieldwork with indigenous Shamans from Mongolia\, the Amazon\, Andes\, and Africa and has trained in core Shamanism with the Foundation of Shamanic Studies (USA) and the Scandinavian Centre for Shamanic Studies. Martin brings warmth and compassion to his shamanic practice. \nHe has strong values with regards integrity\, honesty\, and openness\, he believes in empowering the individual to find healing\, knowledge\, and wisdom within themselves. Martin is available for one-to-one sessions for Transpersonal Psychotherapy\, Soul Retrieval\, Shamanic Counselling and Healing. \nWhat To Expect? \nA key theme that will be covered in this event is Soul Loss and Soul Retrieval. \nA central theme in shamanic work is treating soul loss through the process of soul retrieval. So\, what does it actually mean? Soul loss in its essence is a tearing apart from one’s own nature. It’s a splitting that occurs within oneself. \nPsychologically\, soul loss can be explained by what we consciously separate from through defensive and protective mechanisms that delegates this content into the unconscious and out of our conscious awareness for the means of safety\, survival and maintaining emotional stability in overwhelming moments or distress. \nIn confronting moments of overwhelm\, neglect\, trauma\, loss\, accidents\, illness\, abuse or even repeated moments of rejection and shame our inability to consciously tolerate these experiences and their intense emotional energies see these portions of ourselves fragment and split off into the unconsciousness where it doesn’t continue to overwhelm the egoic structures of the conscious mind. \nOur fragmented and disowned parts will return again and again until we have the courage and compassion to reabsorb them back into conscious awareness with care\, affection and love. At some point this energy must be reconciled in order for us to become whole again. This is the true path of healing. \nShamans are skilled in altered states of consciousness and work with different realms of existence including the conscious and unconscious mind. Shamanic soul retrieval can be a deeply emotional and moving experience. It’s like sadness and elation rolled into one. The pain and the remedy. Uniting with a part of ourselves we have long been estranged and separated from. A part that desperately longs for love and renewal. \nFor more information on Martin Duffy\, see http://www.shamanismireland.com/ \nGet Your Tickets At https://app.tickettailor.com/events/positivelifemagazine/1239101
