Narrye Caldwell, L.Ac.
 Welcome to Cold Spring Healing Arts. Over the past 30 years I have developed expertise in a number of traditional healing methods that I now offer in my private practice and teaching. My early training was in Traditional Chinese Medicine and martial arts, and these still inform my view of what it means to cultivate health, beauty, and wisdom in the modern world. I also have in depth training and advanced initiations in core shamanism with the Foundation for Shamanic Studies. I am currently on the FSS faculty, teaching the full complement of in-person and online workshops in core shamanism.
I invite you to reach out to me through the contact form on this site. Let me know what you’d like help with, or what you’re curious about. Also check out my classes and workshops, or put yourself on my mailing list (click on the photo at the bottom of the column on the right) to receive announcements about new offerings.
Thanks for visiting, and I hope to meet you soon!
Workshops in Core Shamanism
“After having personally practiced shamanism, shamanic healing, and shamanic journeying for more than half a century, I can say that there is nothing I have encountered in reports of the spiritual experiences of saints, prophets, psychedelic drug experimenters, near death survivors, avatars and other mystics that is not commonly experienced when following classic journey methods using a drum.” — Michael Harner
As a faculty member with the Foundation for Shamanic Studies, founded by Dr. Michael Harner, I teach the full complement of online and in-person workshops in core shamanism.
Way of the Shaman: Shamanic Journeying, Power, and Healing, is the prerequisite workshop for all in-person advanced shamanic healing trainings. The Shamanic Journey: Pathway to Knowledge and Power followed by Divination in Practice, are the prerequisites for more advanced online workshops. Check out the Getting Started page on the FSS website for more information about trainings in core shamanism.

Shamanic extraction healing is a powerful practice for treating localized pain and illness resulting from spiritual factors. “The shaman works to remove things that interfere with the health of the body, such as spiritual intrusions, and extract them.

Tuition $225 (FSS members $210)
Soul loss due to trauma – such as emotional pain and shock, accidents, long term illness, constant stress, overwork and even the loss of connection with nature – is a spiritual illness, recognized by shamans cross-culturally. A missing soul portion can be thought of as part of a person’s vitality and essence that they can no longer access, leaving them diminished and lacking in power. Soul retrieval is a classic shamanic method in which the practitioner, with the assistance of their helping spirits, in an altered state using rhythmic drumming or rattling, makes a shamanic journey to locate and return any missing portions of a client’s soul.
In this fully experiential online workshop, participants will be trained in the core elements of soul retrieval, including:
- Definitions of the soul and soul loss
- The importance of spiritual power to effective soul retrieval and exercises to build power and strong relationships with your helping spirits
- How to find and bring back a lost soul portion for a client
- Practice with other participants offering and receiving soul retrieval to help restore wholeness, personal vitality, and health
Prerequisites: (available online now):
Note: Participants must be able to successfully journey in the Upper, Lower, and Middle Worlds, and have a strong relationship with a Power Animal and/or Teacher from the Upper or Lower Worlds.

Shamanism and the Spirits of Nature
Taught by Narrye Caldwell
July 22-23, 2023
Santa Cruz, CA.
9:30-4:30 Saturday & Sunday
We will be meeting at the beautiful UCSC Arboretum. Details sent to registered participants.
Tuition: $295 ($275 until June 23)
From ancient times, shamans have worked with the spirits of nature for healing, survival, and knowledge. By learning from the plants and animals, from the rocks and mountains, from the winds and waters, and from the sun, moon, and stars, shamans helped their peoples live in harmony with the universe.
In a world now out of balance, the way of the shaman can teach how again to respect nature, our Planet, and its inhabitants at a deep spiritual level. As our ancestors everywhere once knew, our survival depends on the survival of the other species. By working together intensively through shamanic journeys and other spiritual experiences, we will dedicate ourselves to working in both non-ordinary and ordinary reality to restore and maintain a living Planet.
Prerequisites:
1. The in-person weekend Basic Workshop: The Way of the Shaman; OR
2. Three one-day online workshops, if in-person Basic Workshop has not been completed:
13 FSS Continuing Education (CE) Credits available. (Link for information on how to verify acceptance of FSS CE credits with your approval board.)

Learning shamanism is not just a matter of acquiring methods, but also of increasing spiritual power and knowing how to use it. From the shamanic point of view, people who are not spiritually “power-filled” are prone to illness, accidents, and misfortune. Anyone who has had a traumatic experience may lose a portion of their soul, of their spiritual essence. There are also other reasons this may occur. In this workshop, participants will learn about soul loss and soul retrieval from a shamanic perspective. There will be a particular emphasis on the importance of shamanic power to do successful soul retrieval. Participants will also learn how to re-empower a client’s soul after it has been returned so that the client is once again spiritually power-filled, leading to greater health and well-being. This soul retrieval training is based on worldwide core principles and methods. It does not require Western psychological perspectives and practices.
PREREQUISITE FSS WORKSHOPS: Because effective soul retrieval practice is based in shamanic power, which comes from strong connections with helping spirits and advanced practice in shamanism, participation in this program requires additional prerequisites.
- The in-person weekend Basic Workshop: The Way of the Shaman; OR substitute these three 7-hour online workshops for the Basic: The Shamanic Journey: Pathway to Knowledge & Power AND Shamanic Divination in Practice AND Shamanism, Spirits & Healing
- AND Shamanism, Dying & Beyond OR The Shaman As Psychopomp (online)
- AND Shamanic Extraction Healing Training OR Shamanic Extraction Healing Method (online)
- OR, The Two Week Shamanic Healing Intensive may be substituted for the above.
13 FSS Continuing Education (CE) Credits available. (Link for information on how to verify acceptance of FSS CE credits with your approval board.)
