Hello you guys! And welcome to the 3rd episode of DogEared Book Club and the second, Leader Highlight. I am so, so excited to introduce you all to Dr. Steven Farmer.
He is a world-renowned Shamanic Practitioner, ordained minister, best-selling author, licensed Psychotherapist and Somatic therapist, former professor and musician!
His most well known works of literature are Healing Ancestral Karma, Earth Magic, Messages from Animal Spirit Guides, Pocket Guide to Animal Spirits, Earth Magic Oracle Deck.
I met Steven through my medium, and long story short I was his assistant for a while. He then discovered my writing talent, from helping him with a couple projects. I then became his writer's assistant—helping him with inspiration, etc. for his upcoming oracle deck, Nature Spirits.
Steven and I get into his authorship experience, go into what literature shaped and motivated him, ancient wisdom and more. He is quite literally a pearl of wisdom and I love his presence.
