The guiding theme of this inquiry is: What can be learned by attending to the intersecting experiences of dreams, rituals and the creation and use of sacred objects? Underlying this question is a deeper interest in what happens when a dreamer / ritualist / artist attempts to channel healing energy between the worlds on behalf of another person, a process that was discovered to be shamanic in nature. Interpreting the research data through the conceptual models offered by the literature, this inquiry links the practices of dreaming, rituals and the creation of sacred objects, the practitioner / researcher, the research participants, and the wider cultural context, and used the story of those relationships to describe the shamanic initiation of a contemporary Western woman.

520 $a The guiding theme of this inquiry is: What can be learned by attending to the intersecting experiences of dreams, rituals and the creation and use of sacred objects? Underlying this question is a deeper interest in what happens when a dreamer / ritualist / artist attempts to channel healing energy between the worlds on behalf of another person, a process that was discovered to be shamanic in nature. Interpreting the research data through the conceptual models offered by the literature, this inquiry links the practices of dreaming, rituals and the creation of sacred objects, the practitioner / researcher, the research participants, and the wider cultural context, and used the story of those relationships to describe the shamanic initiation of a contemporary Western woman.
520 $a This basic qualitative inquiry is heavily influenced by the principles of the heuristic method. The research is transdisciplinary and falls within the participatory paradigm, as influenced by principles of Indigenous research methodologies. Research participants include the author and 3 other women of European ancestry. Data sources for this basic qualitative inquiry include audio-recordings, transcripts, dream journals, field notes, and photographs of sacred objects.
520 $a Rituals undertaken with participants were conducted with medicine wheel altar created by the researcher from dream instructions. All participants experienced healing with entrenched personal issues, as did the researcher in claiming the shamanic nature of her experiences. The research situates a 10-week period of intensive work with rituals, dreams and sacred objects within a larger process of a contemporary western shamanic initiation. Outcomes include the story of a contemporary western shamanic initiation as situated within the theoretical models of the relevant literature.
520 $a Westerners embedded in the structures of alienated modern culture and consciousness need pathways and practices in order to recover a participatory, holistic Indigenous consciousness. The shamanic practice of attending to the synergistic connections between dreams, rituals, and sacred objects offers a means to come into communication, collaboration, and co-creation with the Spirits for the purpose of personal and collective healing. This study is of potential relevance to Western people who desire the healing benefits that accrue from connection with the spiritual and energetic dimensions of being.
