Eliana Harvey
Founder of Shamanka
Eliana is known as a gifted Shamanka, Medicine Woman and Healer.  She is considered to be the leading teacher of women’s Shamanism and the recovering of the Feminine Principle.  She founded her training school twenty years ago, beginning with the Mystical Journey and followed by the Wise Woman workshops for six years.  The Shamanka School of Women’s Shamanism was established ten years ago.

Eliana has a Celtic inheritance, she was steeped in Celtic lore from childhood.  Her father was a noted pioneer of osteopathy in the UK, and was also a medical ‘psychic’, her mother was a healer and early Bach Flower practitioner.

The personal quest for Eliana began with Yoga which she has practiced and taught all her adult life.  Apart from her original training in Acupressure and Chinese Medicine, she is also an initiate of the Western Sufi Healing Order with Hazrat Inayat Khan.  However thirty years ago the Shamanic Path then became her major quest, beginning with Harley Swiftdeer of the Deer Tribe.  Brooke Medicine Eagle, the Crow Blackfoot Medicine Woman, gave her permission to pass on some of her ceremonies.  Her other significant teachers have been Arwen Dreamwalker, Victor Sanchez from the Toltec tradition, Marilyn Tunneshende, from the Castaneda and curendera path, and O’Shinnah the Cherokee crystal healing medicine woman.  Eliana was honoured by John Twobirds, a Native Elder medicine man, who initiated her as a ceremonial pipe carrier and sweat lodge leader.

More recently Eliana has explored the Inka Traditions where she found a number of teachers including Inti Cesar Malasquz and Dr Alberto Villoldo of the Four Winds Society.  She has found this Andean cosmology to be a deeply feminine way of life and spirit. Recently she trained with the Andean Master Shaman and Mystic Don Juan Nunez Del Prado and was initiated 4th level Paquo (Shaman).
