Meet Anna

Anna Pedder MSSP MCMA BA (Hons) MA PGCE MA (Ed)

I received my call to the Shamanic pathway in January 2020 ... but I did not answer, until September 2022.

It was a pathway I did not chose and, in all honesty, a call, that I did not want to take.

I have always had a personal appreciation for astrology often interpreting birth charts for myself and my friends throughout my teenage years.

Expanding my knowledge with the Tarot in my early twenties I was able to see the connections with the elements which intrigued me further. It was this insight which eventually directed me to learn numerology. I had been offering personal readings for friends, family and clients for almost three years when I was called to the Shamanic pathway, again.

This time, although a complete sceptic, I was too frightened not to listen and within six months I had embarked upon the Feather Stone Energy Healing course at the Edinburgh Shamanic centre. This is where the journey really began, or so I thought…

Shamanic Energy Work

I had spent the previous fifteen years working as an arts practitioner within community settings,

Utilising theatre as a platform where communities could share their stories.

Drawing upon the methodologies of practitioners such as, Augusto Boal, Dorothy Hethcoate and Paulo Friere, the academic researcher and inner sceptic was reignited within me when I was training for my Shamanic Meditation teachers’ certificate. I began to combine my previous work, Being Connected- which explored identity, self-inquiry, and heritage acquisition, with meditative practices to enable clients to explore the many layers of self, both consciously and unconsciously.

Whilst gathering information from my case studies in 2022/2023 I discovered that every participant claimed they had felt mental, physical, emotional or spiritual benefits, from embedding the Shamanic energy work into the course, regardless of their own life experience or personal beliefs.

It was the foundation of this research, which formed the Energy Connections Workshop Series. These sessions support individuals as they uncover their soul’s potential through meditative practices on their journey through transformational change and spiritual growth.
