This week's show is with Jez Hughes. Jez is a British shaman, having studied intensively the path of shamanism for 30 years. His healing journey began when, as a teenager, he experienced a fit that propelled him into an altered state of consciousness. It took a long time to integrate that experience and find healing for the physical and mental disturbances it initiated. This journey that he now understands as a shamanic one lasted for around 17 years and took him through healing and spiritual traditions across the earth until he finally came home to shamanism and found practical methods to cure himself. He has studied with various teachers and indigenous elders across the world.

Jez's work has featured in the national press, as well as TV and radio and magazines including Sacred Hoop, Natural Health, Kindred Spirit and Soul & Spirit. His first book, The Heart of Life – Shamanic Initiation and Healing in the Modern World, was published in 2015 and his new book The Wisdom of Mental Illness – Shamanism, Mental Health and the Renewal of the World was published by Watkins in 2021. Jez’s passion is empowering people to reawaken their ancestors, the land where they reside and their spiritual heritages to heal the relationship between the human and natural world.

In this conversation, Jez and I explored the practice of making offerings as part of a relationship and conversation with Spirit - what offerings are, the benefits of making them, and how we can begin or deepen that practice.

I’d love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below.

What you'll learn from this episode:

• There are two important levels to making offerings:
  • As a thank you and giving back when we take so much
  • As a way of slowing progress so we don't make things so quickly that we take at a rate that throws things out of balance
• Making offerings is an embodied conversation with Spirit, it takes it out of our heads and into life
• When we give, we also give back to ourselves, we know our place in the universe and that we're not alone
