SOI Soul Retrieval Practitioners
Amber Bray – SOI Soul Retrieval Practitioner (Soul Retrieval Work for Children)
Amber began her shamanic training five years ago, under the mentorship of Char Sundust, and is currently practicing House Blessings, Soul Retrieval, and Sacred Ceremony. Amber has always felt a calling to work with children. Becoming a mother to beautiful Nova revealed even more that this is a medicine. She carries this medicine at home and in ceremony. She wants to make visible the beauty and the light of the innocents, and has always yearned to protect and nurture their pure spirits.
Amber is honored to offer her gifts in House Blessings, Children’s Soul Retrieval Work, Birth Tracking, and Protection/ Shamanic Midwifing, as well as offering the Blessing Way Ceremony for children.
Heather Gatto – – SOI Soul Retrieval Practitioner
Throughout my life I have used my visionary skills in a variety of ways, from artist to yoga instructor to shamanic practitioner. My spiritual path has had two influential beings: Char Sundust and my guru Mata Amritanandamayi. Through their guidance, I am able to live a life that is good, true and beautiful. This allows me to serve others for the highest good. I utilize my ability to see, hear, and feel spirit in order to help others receive the guidance, healing, direction, love and clarity that they seek. Readings tend to have two parts: the first inspires by bringing hope, deep feeling, understanding, and the energy of love; and the second offers tools for transformation through specific directions given by spirit related to actions to be taken. Energetic healing is also used when it is needed.
It is my sacred intention to offer my self as a hollow, holy vessel, one that brings about help and healing for the highest good and for the greatest joy and upliftment of all for all times.
Phoenix Murphy - SOI Soul Retrieval Practitioner
Phoenix studied Toltec Shamanism for over 10 years while living in the Bay Area. In those years she was able to learn the art of shape shifting her perspective in order to consciously choose how and where to invest her energy. She learned how to work with her belief systems, fears, emotions, stories, dreams and energy bodies so as to develop the self-awareness that is necessary to fully wake up, regain consciousness and transform what is no longer working into something new. The Toltec are masters at unplugging from the dream of fear and reinvesting their energy into the power of Love. This allows one to transform thoughts, feelings, memories, fears, habits etc. etc. into positive self-loving expressions of life. In using the Toltec wisdom tools Phoenix has learned how to guide others to unplug from the Dream of the Planet to reclaim their power, maintain their power and become fully present in every moment. In moving up to Seattle 9 years ago, she continued to follow the calling and curiosity into the trails stemming from the questions of “Why are we all here?”, “Why am I here?”, “How does this all work?” and “How can I be happier and help others along the way?”. As a result, she found herself studying Shamanism with her current teacher Char Sundust.
Through several years of rigorous study with Char, participation in hundreds of soul level healing ceremonies, and harvesting the healing from many life lessons, Phoenix has been able to developing solid relationships with her Personal Guides and Helping Allies. Phoenix is currently certified as a Shamanic Practitioner who specializes in offering Private Mentorship, Soul Retrieval, Soul Retrieval Integration and Teaching others how to reclaim and maintain one’s own power through the Toltec Wisdom Tool of Recapitulation.
Phoenix currently lives and works in Seattle, WA and is grateful to all of those people, events, and life lessons that have brought her to where she is today. Which is right here, present, in this life right now and doing what she can to help the planet and its inhabitants to move through this time of change.
Phoenix is excited and grateful to be a part of the Sundust Oracle Institute team and looks forward to being an agent for change and transformation in this new year.
Roshi Paquin – SOI Soul Retrieval Practitioner
Shamanic practitioner, Intuitive Reader, Creative and Spiritual Mentor, NLP Practitioner, Painter, Writer.
Roshi is a practitioner using shamanic and creative arts to assist her clients in recognizing, responding, fullfilling to their life dreams. The work is focused on gathering the tools needed to support their growth and move toward their destiny and passions for the greater good of themselves and the earth. Roshi is currently working with individuals privately, and is offering classes and workshops.
At a young age Roshi started to talk about vivid and waking dreams with her mother, as she described as spirits communicating with her. Her mother and family member encouraged her that this was real and they would talk about these dreams.
As a teen, her dreams told about future events that then came into being. Roshi started seeing illness in or around people and traumatic events like pictures. She used her hands to remove infections, fevers, ease pain, move the back bone into place, release headaches. As she matured, she knew she needed help to understand these gifts and needed a teacher. She set out in her late teens to find a teacher and began a 3 year journey cross the US living off the grid, and later to Central America. She was exposed to home birth, working with herbs for healing, and living with the land.
Her first teacher was Navajo ropes man in AZ where they began working with the plant spirits and relationship with prayer. Soon after, Roshi met Char Sundust, where they began a nine year experiential apprenticeship with shamanic healing practices, intuitive development, leadership, and ceremony.
Roshi is currently continuing to study with Char Sundust. Roshi studied with Kay Reese completing the NLP program. Roshi has been learning and growing as a painter with Jeff Hengst for several years. I look forward to seeing you this year at SOI!
