Tools for Awakening Programs

or are you thrown off course when life does not go as planned?

The most successful people in the world will tell you that they have achieved as much as they have because they were fiercely focused on their goals.

What are you focused on lately? Have you been chasing after people and things, or perhaps a career or lifestyle that just isn't serving who you really are deep inside?

Is your quality of life what you expected it to be at this stage of your life?

Ask yourself:
     •  Am I present to my life?
     •  Do I feel financially secure?
     •  Are my personal relationships fulfilling?
     •  Do I have my soul mate?
     •  Do I have a career I love?
     •  Do I wake up feeling impassioned?
     •  Do I live my truth?

     Do I feel empowered to change my life? Is your compass steering you away from your heart’s desire—or toward it?

Does your inside match your outside or do others think you’ve got it all together—but you know that’s not quite true?

Is getting into relationships easy enough . . . but maintaining a healthy one not so easy?

What would you hope to look back on at the end of your journey here and say that you experienced or accomplished? Is it time to surrender with grace, forgiveness of yourself and others, and vision toward a more meaningful future?

We are experiencing a movement back to our authentic selves. To being present to what we do have and not what we don’t. To being present to living for today – not in the past and not in the future. Because the truth is—the past is over and your view of it is distorted; and the future you are planning is probably not how it will unfold anyway.

Renee Baribeau, a.k.a, “The Practical Shaman” is a forward-thinking healer and mentor whose life purpose is to help you shift your consciousness to live a more balanced and happy life—in the present, right now.

Renee takes a whole person, integrative approach to living a purpose-driven life. She is self-referencing and happy in her life because she has learned how to live and be happy in the present – and she can help you achieve that as well.

Renee’s life experiences have given her a remarkable insight to intuitively see the challenges you may be facing in your relationships, your business, and more.

Renee walks the talk, and chances are, she’s been there and done that; as a result, she doesn’t judge. She uncovers your blocks and helps you resolve them quickly and permanently with her blend of practical and creative actionable plans. Couple that with her compassion and uncanny ability to track into the core of every issue to transform everyday experience into tales of healing and human renovation and you have “the practical shaman.”

Her “Recipe for Creative Awakening” is a little different for each person, recognizing that the same thing doesn’t work for everyone. Renee infuses more balance between health, wealth and personal aspects to bring more “spirit” into your life, wherever it comes from. Whether through art, music, dance, writing, whatever—this is what makes her the shaman.

Renee meets you where you are now and gives you practical tools to heal the wounds and get back to your foundation, so you can get to where you really want to be, not where she thinks you should go. Her clients continue to share their personal experiences of moving forward in their life with more joy and passion.

Experience The Practical Shaman for yourself.  There are several programs to meet your individual needs, one-on-one individual sessions, 12 weeks to self-mastery,  and a one year focused Tools for Awakening program. In addition, The Practical Shaman offers journeys to sacred sites around the world and weekend workshops.

"I found working with Renee extremely beneficial. First of all, I liked her pragmatic approach: Renee gives you practical solutions, that you can implement from day one, which gives you immediate benefits. Furthermore, she is very good in opening your mind, making you see things in a different perspective. She is very persistent and makes you work hard so that you can achieve your goals in a short time. She can be tough and direct- but after you think about it, you can see her point. Most importantly, by working with her you learn some tools that are going to stay with you forever and that will help you deal with your life in a new, improved way."
