Testimonials | Urban Shaman

Tyler McClain / Playwright / MFA UCLA

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have my reservations about seeking Sheri Wilson’s counsel as my own personal “shaman," but during a period of extreme emotional duress, I was willing to find help wherever it would come to me. I’m happy to report that Sheri’s insight and expertise were immensely valuable, and helped me move through one of the more difficult chapters of the past few years of my life. Sheri was keen to listen to me discuss my problems, and quick to form a plan for working through them. I immediately felt safe, protected, and guided, and all of my initial skepticisms dissolved.

Over the course of our sessions, Sheri helped me re-focus my intentions for my life, set practical goals, and assigned a number of exercises that re-focused my appreciation for myself and my own happiness. I found myself experiencing results almost immediately, the simple practices my Urban Shaman recommended – such as goal setting, meditation and journaling – became fundamental parts of my daily life, and unlocked deep reserves of my own personal joy. I hope that you have your own reservations about working with Sheri, if only to see them disappear after your first session.

My focus was all over the place, filled with impatience and entitlement. Sheri suggested I create a visual and tape it to my mirror. To accompany my focus she explained the purpose of animal totems and how a simple sighting can suggest a reminder for myself and emotions. This helped me focus my intentions on what I was after. A new depth of assurance crept in, and new patience arrived in my life. Instead of building up like a can of soda, I was able to refocus myself and allow more patience for my goals. The results, include a better life partner relationship, career success and a content feeling about myself and my life.

Kristin Espinosa / Manager / Santa Monica, CA

Let me start by saying, I'm a skeptic. I didn't understand how powerful my experiences would be but I had encountered circumstances in my life that brought me to a dark place where I needed help and I had an open heart to shamanism. I had been diagnosed with an "auto immune" condition which already had horrible side effects and led to deeper depression because I couldn't be outside in the sunshine.... I moved to Santa Monica for sunshine, I am a sun goddess.

I have a long history of self hate and negative inner dialogue. Working with Sheri is just that, it takes work. There is no magic pill or one-day turnaround to happiness and freedom. Sheri is honest, loving, and present and will give you "homework" to help you start taking steps in the right direction. Sheri will give you tools, listen, and love (tough love hurts sometimes) you through it all.

Sheri has taken me through a series of rituals (powerful!), stone casting, breath work, writing exercises, mirror talk, etc. Over the course of time, staying true to the practice and committed to doing the work, I have found a new kind of freedom and self love. And when times are hard, I have to tools to help myself. Physically, I have learned to manage my diagnosis and can even be in sunshine - hallelujah! Throughout the process Sheri is there, alongside, reminding you of what you want. Checking in. Making new goals... There is so much I can say here, but really it's about your experience. You will see your life transform. Promise.

M.C. / Artist / Experience report from Santa Monica, CA

"Working as an extra in a crowd of 800 random people was really draining for me yesterday. I'm sensitive to the people around me and on two hours of sleep it was a difficult 14 hour day. By the end I was feeling a little lost in my own mind.

I ran into my friend, a shaman, last night and she was kind enough to take some time and help me re-center. The base of it was a reminder to be in service to others. By doing this I'm able to stop worrying about myself and give joy and happiness. This in turn creates new energy that is returned to me creating a positive vibrational feedback loop. <33 -- I love helping others and it feels really good!

In working with her I was also able to enter DMT space naturally. DMT is the chemical your brain releases when you dream. The best way for me to explain how this feels while awake is that typically your mind processes lots of information subconsciously. By entering this psychic space consciously we are able to connect with and process each thought we have deliberately. I'm still working out my vocabulary in describing it. -- If you want to know more please message me.

Today was amazing.. With this new grounding when I went to work. I started the day off with a meditation with a friend. Doing this sort of work around 800 random strangers was incredible. I'm usually very shy.. so it was difficult but very good.. I think it had a very positive effect for them seeing us holding the space.. We set a positive intention to help others and love them for the rest of the day and the rest is magical.. I was able to channel the DMT space and share it with others.. It was really amazing. There is too much to write here. An incredible thing about the job is that everyone was together for 14 hours without cell phones to distract or substances like alcohol for escape. People were having extremely positive and great interactions. Laughter and smiles were everywhere.. Random dance circles were breaking out! Amazing! I love seeing people love each other.

Enough of my ranting.. .. Just remember.. Love everyone.. and Give.. Give to everyone! There's always something you can give.. and of course.. Receive. — feeling Divine Love." - M.C.'s Facebook status from January 10, 2014
