Cynthia Nado | teacher & PractitionerSensitive and perceptive beyond her years as a child, Cynthia had two near-death experiences some years ago where the veil that exists between this world and the Spirit World became thinner, allowing her to see and converse with the other side. Upon her return to this world, Cynthia embraced shamanism to understand how to work with her enhanced connection and to learn the healing tools, rituals and ceremonies for working with the spirit of all things and the Spirit World. Currently, Cynthia studies with Sandra Ingerman. She has also studied with Cecile Carson, Betsy Bergstrom, Myron Eshowsky, and Tom Cowan. Read Cynthia's article, "Shamanic Life in a High School Kitchen."
