"Shamanism is currently undergoing an immense revival, involving people from many countries and various walks of life. The popularization of American Indian teachings and cultural heritage is only a small chapter in this overall saga. In fact, the so-called “New Age” may largely be a returning to the old and wise, respectful reverence for our sacred Mother Earth... sadly now being raped of resources in the onslaught of “modern” civilisation.

This “new” awakening stems directly from an earlier tribal reality, where the shaman was priest, social worker, political advisor and healer to a closely interconnected community. In many different cultures worldwide the land and all its beings were viewed as part of themselves, each with important roles in theunfolding drama of the universe. The shaman was honoured for his/her powers to intercede and understand the essential nature of this all-connected mystery andimportantly bring wholeness and healing to the dis-spirited or sick."

Kim Parker

Kim Parker is a shamanic practitioner, author and is also the founder and facilitator of GOSH, an acronym for "Gatherings Over Strange Happenings" – an online group for  people to safely discuss any non-ordinary experiences they may have had or may be interested in. As a lifetime experiencer of paranormal events on multiple fronts including UFO's and ET's or interdimensional beings, Kim is committed to sharing spiritually transformational tales of the extraordinary. This sharing lovingly demonstrates the rich and sacred wisdom which can be harvested from such experiences – wisdom that is of value, not only to the individual, but to humanity itself.

Additionally, Kim channels mystical poetry and uplifting spiritual messages. An integral aspect of her shamanic practice is the life of active dreaming and Kim is dedicated to encouraging people to examine and discuss their dreams as an aid to virtually every aspect of life. She hosts a dream circle discussion group online. As a wisdom worker Kim is actively investigating consciousness and the bridges between science and the paranormal. Her Waking Wisdom book series argues strongly for a science of life that incorporates, rather than marginalises, the non-ordinary.
