Mi-Shell

Mi-Shell Jessen probably best known as a shaman / healer in Muskoka and Southern Ontario. She is a Registered Nurse and a Jungian Therapist by training, but, first and foremost, she is following in the footsteps of her grandmother, the healer-shaman of her tribe, the Uryanchai, in Siberia. Mi-Shell has practised, taught and used shamanism and shamanic healing pathways with her patients, clients, in schools, Pow Wows and the health care system. She leads circles and gatherings that focus on teaching, healing, ritual, drums and drumming, human growth and well-being. Bearpaw Jewellery the company Mi-Shell and husband Peter own, is a means for her to translate the mysteries experienced in trance and visions into tangible reality and to share it all with her community. Her shamanic Medicine pouches, ritual tools and other mixed media art are unique and sought after by collectors. One of the most important tools of a Medicine Woman is the drum, the heartbeat of Mother Earth and the heartbeat and voice of our soul. Mi- Shell creates drums and leads the weekly local community drum circle as well as frame drum circles. The “Healing Drum” is a company Mi-Shell founded to allow her to bring shamanic as well as world rhythm drumming into schools, universities and health care settings. My Credo: I am a part of the living Universe and the living Universe is a part of me. You are a part of the living Universe and the living Universe is a part of you. All Beings human and none human are equal
