“The quality of true humility comes out of the certainty of our own goodness – the knowledge that we are innately powerful. This awareness appeases our need to obtain such knowing from others and sets us free. To know about ourselves, we must go within, acknowledge our gifts, but also feel our deepest pain. Learning to dance with our shadow and loving our own darkness – with true acceptance – disempowers it”
- Daniel Leonard

The methods Stars to Sea teach and practice are those passed by Sandra Ingerman. Bringing tremendous change in connecting the new world to the old one.
Michael Harner was passionate in helping communities reconnect and strengthen their relationship to their spirits after the impacts of colonization and outside religion that rapidly altered the ways of life. Offering tools to the people to reconnect and remember and restore the ever strong relationship that already existed. Offering that which never left the people but just helped them repair the bridge between worlds. Stars to Sea hopes to continue this prayer.

The community is ever growing. students, training teachers, advanced groups, shamanic gatherings and practitioners that have budded from the tree have allowed there to be a grove.

Elaine has a bright and warm spirit that translates to her practice. Before our meeting, I did not know what to expect, as I had limited knowledge but an abundance of curiosity about shamanism. She was thorough and enthusiastic about sharing her knowledge with humility and explaining concepts with accessible language and terms. I was totally comfortable during our session, and the experience was profound, especially in the days that followed. Lainey was very clear on what to expect and how to practice self care in the following days. She made sure to manage expectations and to emphasize that personal work is involved to continue the personal healing process. Our conversation about the journey was compelling, enlightening and resonated deeply. It was incredibly helpful in my life, as it has allowed me to work through some very deep emotional pain that would have otherwise stayed dormant or overlooked. I am excited to learn more and to work with Lainey again when the opportunity presents itself once again. I look forward to seeing Lainey continue to grow and help others in her practice. It was an absolute honour and pleasure to work with her.

Brid, Irish author of, Between Worlds - Shared Reflections of a Spiritual Midwife
Elaine has a gentle feminine energy. Her connection and ability to see, sense and feel spirit all around her is what draws me to her. She balances beautifully, her light filled being, with an in depth wisdom, that is truly inspiring. Communicating so easily with other realms Elaine brings through messages from spirit in the midst of teaching. She has a sensitive open heart and has the innate ability to make one feel very safe in a group."
Sincerely,

Rebecca Johnston, Energetic Practitioner-Return to Wholeness
Elaine is a very gifted Shamanic practitioner, healer and teacher. I am so thankful to have worked with her and to have received her unique guidance through the process of learning ceremony, circle, journey meditations, deepening my own becoming and remembering of who I am. She is insightful, compassionate, supportive, and shares great wisdom. Learning from her has been a life changing experience. I know that those who are called to have an opportunity to work with her on their path will look back and consider it a critical aspect to completing their initiation. She helps in gently bringing forward the gifts of others by sharing her own with deep humility so that they can be better healers for others. I feel so much appreciation for Elaine.
