It is always such an honor to be trusted with a piece of a client’s healing journey. In the spirit of right relationship, I return that trust with a range of payment options designed to make personal healing affordable for all.
I ask only that you compensate me for my work with what you can afford, and offer these options. For regular sessions, I ask that you pay what you can within a scale from $50-80 per hour.
If you find this to be beyond your reach, please join me for my special healing day monthly at Ahahra, during which I will offer work by donation, typically $15-30 per session. Please consult the event listing on this page for the exact date this will be offered, or feel free to contact me. These 45 – minute sessions are done on a walk-in basis so there may be a short wait.

Ed and Beverly believe that a shaman lives within each of us.
We all share in creating the reality around us, and it is through the peace and joy we cultivate in our own hearts that we bring our unique and priceless gifts into the world.
In this spirit we focus our work. There is little difference between training specifically as a shaman and doing our own work of healing. What we seek is a full life, open to and welcoming all the experiences that come our way – in short, to interchange energies with the Universe without fear and in our own unique ways.
The “Hummingbird Path” is a way of living consciously through our hearts and cultivating “right relationship” with all that we encounter. It is the way of the medicine men and women of the Andes, who have given us stewardship of their teachings and rituals so that we might begin to remember the peace and connection within us and mirror these gifts into the world.
Whether you seek healing for a specific issue, want to step into your full energetic being or something in between, YOU are on the Hummingbird Path, and we honor your journey!
All of our healing work, ceremonies and workshops are aligned to help you along the path, and together provide a framework of self-discovery. We are honored by your interest and pledge to support you in your adventure!

We invite you to join us for this rare opportunity to work directly with a Q’ero shaman from Peru.
Don Francisco has worked around the world, offering prayers for the Earth and traditional energetic ceremony called “despacho.”
He has been central to bringing into form and spreading the wisdom teachings of the Andes, through the beautiful and life-affirming transmissions of the 9 Great Rites of Enlightenment.
Don Francisco invites you to join the circle of global community, visioning a world of peace through your own self-discovery.
We have planned a series of diverse events around don Francisco’s visit and we hope you’ll join us for as many as you can!

Many Blessings,

This website has nothing to do with your spiritual path. It DOES pertain to the epic journey of your soul. This means looking inside at your own perceptions of yourself, your environment and beyond, and consciously choosing wholeness and unlimited possibility on that journey.
The healing work of the Andean “paqos,” and other indigenous cultures, while originating in belief systems unique to these cultures, truly transcend these belief systems. The work focuses on our own experiences and on the ancient truths common to cultures and religion throughout the world and spanning thousands of years.
The Q’ero elders of Peru, with whom I have sat in ceremony many times, practice the ancient spiritual ways, yet celebrate Christianity as well. They understand that we all view Great Spirit in our own way and call the unnamable one by many names. For the Q’ero, and for me, what’s important is an open heart, and experience of life through what they call “munay” (unconditional love) and “ayni” (right relationship).
If you can open your heart and wish to live in right relationship with all that is, the energy work I offer can be of great help. I invite you to explore with me.

I had the wonderful privilege to spend two weeks in Peru during August, traveling with a group of energy workers from the US, Ireland, Holland and Canada as well as four incredible Andean “paqos” from the Q’ero community. Paqo is the word for a shaman or medicine person in that culture, and is a term of respect for those who do the holy work of Mother Earth (Pachamama), the Mountain Spirits (Apus) and the One Creator God (Wirachocha).
These paqos (Don Francisco Chura Flores, his wife Dona Juanita, son Ricardo and nephew/apprentice Luis) embody the concepts of unconditional love (munay) and right relationship (ayni) with all that is, and truly walk the path of personal power through their humble gratitude and caring. They also hold tremendous healing power in their sweet energy. It was a beautiful journey of both personal healing and increasing depth of my own abilities on the Medicine Path.
On a practical note, I’ll be posting some photos of the trip and have brought back some weavings and sacred items which will be available for sale to clients and students.
I return to Oregon in utmost gratitude to all who helped to make this possible, and especially to Beverly, whose vision for my experience and support for it has been amazing!

Our “essential self” is always there. For some of us it’s hidden in our core, a distant memory or perhaps totally invisible. It hides below layers of cultural and family patterns, of emotions and reactions we have learned through our experiences, and of our own ego, which seeks to identify us by those learned patterns.
This hidden “self” is the one that can laugh like a child. It can dream without limits. It loves life so much that every day is an epic journey. This self is the Soul Self. It sees clearly, yet doesn’t need all the answers. It knows Earth and Spirit intimately and know it IS both of them.
Your essential self lies within you, waiting to be remembered.
A beautiful world lies around you, waiting to be experienced.
Are you ready?

The Andean shamans of Peru explain that they have no Christ, no Buddha, and no Moses who says, “Follow my footsteps.” These medicine men and women say, “Follow your own footsteps. Learn from the rivers, the trees and the rocks. Honor the Christ, the Buddha, and your brothers and sisters. Honor Pachamama (the Earth) and the Great Spirit. Honor yourself and all of creation.” Shamans use examples from nature in the form of archetypes to teach the universal truths of Spirit and Life.
Central to shamanic healing is the Luminous Energy Field (LEF) that surrounds our physical body and informs our body in the same way that the energy field of a magnet organizes iron filings on a piece of glass. This “light body” informs our cells in the same way that our genes do. Our LEF contains imprints of our childhood, our dreams, and even previous lives, and can be used to create psychosomatic health (mental, emotional and sometimes even physical) in the same way that psychosomatic illness manifests. Shamans learn to read the LEF and the chakra system and to restore their function and harmony.
It is said, “one can be cured but not healed, and one can be healed and not cured.” A wound that is considered “cured” may reappear if real healing hasn’t occurred. It is Beverly and Eddie’s intent, through the tradition of the Q’ero shamanic lineage, to heal the cause of a wound, not just to cure its effects. In that way, the wound may also be cured, and its imprint does not cause further pain.
