Healing as Descension with Christiana Eva Schelfhout

Christiana Eva Schelfhout is a musician and healing arts practitioner, who has had her own deep apprenticeship with chronic mental and physical illness, which has lead her on an expansive path of exploration and discovery around the world, drinking from wellsprings of traditional knowledge. Much of her extensive time in training and facilitation has been spent as a Trauma Informed Yoga Instructor and as a maker of healing songs and sounds. She regularly sits in ceremony and spends much of her time immersed in studentship with plant allies. She is the founder of Animate Healing and works with the prestigious wellbeing centre Shou Sugi Ban House in Watermill, New York.  Her musicianship transmutes into her work in the healing arts and snippets from her EP ‘UNDER (cov)Her’ are woven into this episode.
