Meet Denise Braun-Stargazer
INITIATED SHAMAN AND INTUITIVE SPIRITUAL GUIDE
YOUR “FIRE ARROWS” TEACHER!

My gift of healing and guiding the wounded began as a young child. Neighbors, friends and adults would confide in me their fears or uncertainties. And I always ‘knew’ what was going on in their lives without their need to tell me any details. I was drawn to religious texts and read the Koran and the Bible by the age of 9. I often had vivid dreams of being killed in Pompeii and sinking on the Titanic. These images started when I was three (and had no idea where these place were or why I would have been on a cruise ship in the 20th century)!

As a young adult, I was the go-to for anyone with heartache, fear or shame. I would sit in my college dorm and talk for hours on end with the lost and the weary. So often I would choose supporting a student over attending class. Needless to say it took me longer than usual to finish college.

Fast forward…I became a licensed clinical trauma therapist with a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology. And Forensic expert. Guiding clients in private practice and in the court room was my career. Until I burnt out and retired. In between I also taught college courses for almost 20 years. But I waved goodbye to that life and launched into my innate gifts: intuitive guidance and healing in 2012.

I began learning the ancient ways of the Q’ero Shaman in 2018. My invitation to begin this path arrived through intense visions, dreams and visitations from spirit guides and hawks (winged messengers). I found my Shaman Master teacher in Peru and Santa Fe, NM. And I never looked back. My clinical practice turned into energy medicine and spiritual guidance.

I am here for one purpose—to teach others the gifts of spirit and light. To guide energy healing and awaken individual’s sense of purpose and meaning. As a Shaman, I use earth medicine and stones to aid in healing others. I am a seeker of the mystic and finder of the mysteries. Together, we work as a team to encourage your soul to remember who you are. Long before other people told you who to become. Let light guide us to divine knowing my friends. We were made for this.


Meet Jen Cushman
—SOUL, STIR, MAGIC—
Your soulful guide for
the “Fethers” portions of this workshop…

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always felt the presence of “my people” – spirit guides and angels.

Most of my life I was able to express and share my sensitivities through writing and making art. And while I always understood how highly sensitive I was, it took me most of my adult life of being a spiritual seeker to learn I’m an Empath, meaning I feel all the feels.

Twenty years ago I received my first level Reiki attunement and six years ago I advanced to the master attunement level while also becoming a Certified Angel Tarot Card Reader through Hay House Publishing. My connection to the Angelic Realm is strong and I use all the “Claire’s” in my intuitive work.

My life path is to be a teacher and a spiritual guide. One of my deep passions is to help you hear, feel and listen to the whispers of your unique soul.

Your soul knows its truth. But life, with all its external and internal noise, often runs interference with our higher self GPS. My spirit team and I guide you to recalibrate to your authentic inner guidance system to move you in the direction of a happier, healthier and more fully awake life.
