ABOUT
Patrick Corrigan
I was raised in a small town just south of the Twin Cities of Minnesota. From a very early age I leaned toward the mystical, spiritual side of life, and mixed with my deep love of camping, Nature, and the Animal Kingdom, I'm not surprised that I walk a shamanic path. In fact, when I first learned about shamanism, it was more a sense of, "Oh, that's what I've been doing all these years!"
Art is my other passion. What I have always wanted to be more than anything else when I grew up is a cartoonist, not realizing that's what I've always been, having 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.
I continued my pursuit of Truth and Beauty through countless books, myriad classes and workshops, and endless experiences in the application of all I was learning. After just reading about shamanism for so many years, I finally took a Shamanic Journey class -- and that changed everything, ramping my life up in ways I could not have imagined. And so I studied furiously 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."
My shamanic education has never stopped, but 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 conspired 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.
