ABOUT
Patrick Corrigan
I was raised in a small town of Minnesota just south of the Twin Cities, and from a very early age I leaned toward the mystical, spiritual side of life. This mixed with my ever-present deep love of Nature and the Animal Kingdom makes me realize that I have always walked a shamanic path of some sort or other. When I later 'discovered' Shamanism it was a homecoming and a recognition of how I'd already been approaching life.
My other passion has always been Art, cartooning in particular. All I have ever wanted to be more than anything else in the world when I grew up is a cartoonist, and I have drawn comics literally as long as I can remember. I graduated with a BA in Fine Arts, while nurturing my spiritual life at the Benedictine monastery that is the backdrop of St John's University of Collegeville, Minnesota.
My spiritual growth after college took many exciting and interesting turns through countless books and workshops, and many spiritual paths and philosophies. Finally after just reading about shamanism for so many years, I took a Shamanic Journey class -- and that changed everything, ramping my life up in ways I could not have imagined. And so I dedicated my studies to shamanism with local teachers as well as renowned Shamanic Teachers, such as Tom Cowan and Sandra Ingerman, until after a Vision Quest, sitting in a Washington State Forest for three days, I was told to teach. My path is "to be shared."
I am poised between my past and future, having so much still to learn while having a wealth of experience to share.
All these elements conspire to create who I have become -- a Cartoonist, a Shamanic Practitioner and Teacher, a Reiki Master, and an Ordained Minister of SHES (International Assembly of Spiritual Healers and Earth Stewards).
I now live in the Seattle area, where I am establishing my Shamanic and Artistic practices while finding time to play with the local Nature Spirits and critters of all kinds in between naps with my kitty, Keira.
