Dana Lundin
Dana Lundin has been a student and multidisciplinary healer within the fields of yoga, acupuncture, massage, oriental medicine, massage therapy and shamanic work since her spiritual exploration and professional study began in 1979. She is a longtime practitioner of the alternative therapies, and has advanced knowledge of nutritional therapies, Reiki (Levels I & II) and Women's issues, having studied the Way of the Sacred Feminine, with teachers including Jungian analyst Marian Woodman, Sisterhood of the Shields shamanic teacher Lynn Andrews (1989) and Chilean ceremonialist Luz Clara.
Dana is a certified massage therapist, with training in cranial sacral manipulation, shiatsu, neuromuscular massage and structural therapies, with additional coursework in Chi Nei Tsang Internal Organs Integrated Massage. Dana is familiar with the discipline of Oriental Medicine and Acupuncture, and received her Acupuncture Therapist Certificate (Ac.T.) from the Midwest Center of Traditional
Chinese Medicine in 1982, and her Reiki Levels I and II certifications in 1985. Dana also studied field of energy work with Barbara Brennan (1996), Rosalyn Bruyere (1995) and Donna Eden (1994-95).
She is a dedicated shamanic ceremonialist who has studied with many teachers, including Sandra Ingerman (1990-93), Olga Kharitiditi M.D., (1992) Alberto Villoldo (1995-96), John Perkins (1997), Tom Cowan (1993-94).
Dana has been part of ten shamanic expeditions to Peru for training and has completed apprenticeships with some of the most prominent shamanic teachers in the field, including a two-year apprenticeship in Andean Shamanism with Theo Paredes, Ph,D. and Ruben Orellana (1996-98); a two-year Shamanic Pachakuti Mesa Tradition Apprenticeship with Oscar Miro-Quesada (1996-98) and an Advanced Apprenticeship with Theo Paredes, Ph.D.(1998-2006).
Dana has practiced medicine work at sacred sites all over the
world, including Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Bali and Ireland.
Dana has been working privately with clients for personal healing, empowerment and reversing health crises, as well as doing land and space clearings. She teaches on the sacred feminine, combining the disciplines of history, yoga, mysticism, and shamanism.
Dana notes that her skills in the alternative disciplines “augment each other’s effects”. She counsels her clients on diet to support functional processes, suggests corrective movements or yoga for structural issues and completes the repatterning with visualization and meditation exercises to center and nourish the soul/spirit. She believes the shamanic healing and energy work improve the luminous field’s capacity to interact with the environment, while acupuncture and bodywork resolve disruptions in the fascia and meridian system.
Dana’s intentions are to provide personal interaction and counsel as well, to help her clients move towards embracing their life path, in order to live from their hearts and move more courageously and lovingly in the world. Dana noted that the current crises in the world reflect deep conflicts in the collective consciousness. She attributes this estrangement, loss and chaos to the complexities and lack of true heartfelt connections in our developed civilization and our increase in technology and the Western culture’s estrangement from the natural world. She intends her work to carve out a consistent and conscious approach to living, by the rhythm and natural laws of the natural world, in order to move our collective direction towards a sane and sustainable approach
to life and a resilient, healthy, society

Heather Ward
Heather Ward has facilitated numerous group readings, medium galleries, special events, workshops, and investigations over the years at many metaphysical and paranormal events! Here's a few words from Heather: "My mediumship started when I was about 20 years old. I noticed an intuition that would occur around pregnant women. After starting to pick up on these coincidences; I started to pay attention and began noticing my gifts evolved into recognizing spirits that were around me. Overall, it took years to recognize and develop my craft into what it is today. Learning and growing in this work never stops. I invest time and energy into my craft everyday to better my skills and mediumship to better serve my clients.

Holly Stafford
I'm a crone now, I was a daughter among 5 sisters and I bore 6 daughters, (5 of which I had at home) plus my step son and step daughter. I have 6 step grandchildren and 5 biological grandchildren. I sometimes joke that I have been parenting all my life. It isn't actually a joke.
I am best known for the small metaphysical shop I own and operate, Mother Moon, which grew out of my own journey into spirit and knowledge and a quest for healing.
I consider myself a witch, understanding that the root of that word, the old English 'wick' meant life force energy, something like chi in the language of energy healing. In this context a witch is one who is connected and conscious of that life force and the nature through which it flows and is felt. Since I like to poke around in the fields and woods and hedges and my favorite thing is gardening, hedge witch is an apt title.
I studied art when I attended Hope College, which was an experience that I credit with putting me on a pagan path, although I have been a student of shamanism since my teens.
As part of my healing journey I've learned a bit about crystals, herbalism, homeopathy, and other vibrational modalities. My drug of choice is fire walking.

Karen Kacynski
Karen J. Kacynski has loved music and sung in multiple choirs and church events throughout her lifetime. She received classical voice training will a student at GVSU, but hadn't sung as much as she'd wanted to in her later years, due to lack of opportunity to sing the type of music she enjoyed.

Now going into their third year, the Michigan Muses have found their niche and sing the music they want to sing. Karen has also taken on leadership roles in her local community, running the Muskegon branch of Witches of West Michigan, leading a drum circle, Goddess Circle, and multiple other related events. She excels in green magic, gardening, herbs, and natural crafts, with creating delicious and medicinal teas through her company Katiris Botanicals being her focus and super power.
