“Soul Whispering is a book dearly needed in our times. Star Wolf
and Gage combine their stunning wisdom as both professional
therapists and deep-diving shamans to recover what has been
fractured and lost and bridge us back to wholeness. Their decades
of experience in the addiction and mental health fields and their
extensive shamanic training seasoned with their heartfelt sense of
humor make them heroines in my eyes. May you read this book and
discover how you, too, are a Soul Whisperer.”
*HeatherAsh Amara, author of The Warrior Goddess Way*
“Soul Whispering is a powerful shamanic map of soul remembering,
weaving together ancient wisdom with modern psychology. Told with
intimacy and compassion, this beautiful elucidation of the shamanic
healing arts is a soul song from two visionary women who have
walked the path with wide-open hearts. Their stories are brimming
with bonedeep life lessons, embodied solutions, and soul flights of
cosmic consciousness, which bridge seamlessly between the
worlds.”
*Dr. Azra and Seren Bertrand, authors of Womb Awakening*
“This is an extraordinary book by two extraordinary women. Star
Wolf and Gage, highly respected shamanic healers of the first rank,
have brought their considerable experience and wisdom to bear in
this illuminating ‘guide for the perplexed’ that will both reward
and mesmerize the reader. For those who have given up on
conventional, by-the-numbers therapies that got them nowhere, this
brilliant introduction to Soul Whispering is a remarkable and
much-needed alternative. You won’t be disappointed.”
*M. Guy Thompson, Ph.D., author of The Death of Desire*
“Soul Whispering makes the intangible realms shamans work
with--such as shamanic consciousness, personality, and the
soul--concepts that can be easily grasped. This book goes beyond
our fixed ideas of shamanism by teaching us from the depths of the
deeper soul, adding life-changing personal stories, all honestly
conveyed. This work triggers points of wisdom in us at every
turn.”
*E. Aracely Brown, senior program director at the New York Open
Center*
“Let Soul Whispering be your midwife in the journey of awakening
your shamanic consciousness. The great challenge and opportunity we
face is to be both fully human and divine at the same time. Star
Wolf and Gage weave diverse paths of healing and transformation
into wholeness so that we may embrace our full potential as soulful
human beings.”
*Anna Cariad-Barrett, DMin, author of Shamanic Wisdom for Pregnancy
and Parenthood*
“Shamans view ‘soul loss,’ the wounding of a person’s unique
energetic essence from trauma, as a leading cause of physical,
emotional, and psychological dysfunction. In this fascinating,
easy-to-read, and instructive book the authors guide us in the ways
shamans and modern psychotherapy heal. A book for anyone who is on
the path of personal transformation.”
*Itzhak Beery, author of The Gift of Shamanism*
“Offered up by two authentic shamans, this book is about shifting
our story from being the effect of our life (a victim) to being the
cause (a conscious being). Read this book to discover real means to
strengthen your shamanic powers in this world that is hungry for
such soulfulness.”
*Julie Tallard Johnson, MSW, author of The Zero Point Agreement and
Wheel of Initiation*
"I cannot recommend the wisdom of this book more highly. Linda Star
Wolf and Nita Gage are both responsible for my being on my soul’s
path--they are the wise women healers that we all need for guidance
on this glorious, but oh-so-messy, life path. This is a perfect
time for the birthing of their wisdom into our changing and chaotic
world--we desperately need the grounded, soul-deep guidance that
they bring to each one of us. If you are in need of life or soul
support, this is the book for you."
*Rachel Carlton Abrams, MD, MHS, ABIHM, author of BodyWise*
