The Urban Grief Shamans

Subscribe to our Light Through Shadows newsletter
In our latest discussion, we were joined by Catherine Grey Hughes, a teacher and shaman practitioner with a deep understanding of psychopomp, the practice of guiding souls after death. Catherine shared her insights on how soul transitions affect both the living and the deceased. We talked about the reasons why some souls may stay behind and how their journey to the afterlife can bring peace and resolution.
This episode delves into a mix of ancient knowledge, cultural practices, and shamanic rituals. Catherine guided us through these topics, shedding light on the comforting rituals that help people in mourning. She explained the importance of being connected to the spiritual world for those interested in this field. We also discussed how shamanism, influenced by figures like Michael Harner, can encourage self-love, harmony with nature, and kindness in our communities. This conversation offers insights into the soul's journey, shamanic healing, and the importance of connecting with others beyond life.
