Hey everybody! Episode 202 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Aviaja Rakel Sanímuinaq Kristiansen. I think this one of the more beautiful conversations I’ve had on this podcast. Rakel is a shaman of the Inuit people of Greenland. I think she speaks beautifully from a place of a deep experience knowledge of what she has discovered for herself, in her own journey of being born into a shamanic lineage, her struggles and shamanic illness, her journey of remembering, connecting with her ancestors and spirit, overcoming her fear through ceremony, and finding her calling and path in service of others. Rakel speaks with a beauty, grace and wisdom and I trust you all will gain much from her presence and wisdom.

“Rakel was born and raised in Ittoqqortoormiit, a remote settlement in Northeastern Greenland. When she was only four years old, she told her mother that she would become a shaman. Growing up, she often heard stories about her family’s shamanic lineage and was deeply curious about what this heritage meant for their descendants. In 2012, she began her journey to truly understand how her ancestors lived and perceived the universe as an interconnected whole. She left modern society to immerse herself in nature and to learn directly from it from Silap aappaa,“the other worlds,” and the teachings they hold.
In 2019, she received her healer name, Rakel, and was initiated into the ancient lineage as an Angakoq (shaman). Since then, she has dedicated herself to bridging the spirit world with the modern human experience — finding ways to apply ancient wisdom in today’s world.
Through these profound and timeless methods of healing, Rakel helps people reconnect with their souls, something that has long been hidden or forbidden in many ways. As she teaches, “A soul that is whole is in balance with the world and in balance with itself.”
Rakel lives in Nuuk, Greenland, which is a self-governing territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. In addition to her shamanic work in Greenland, Rakel is internationally known through her participation as a leading voice in the multiple-award-winning documentary film The Eternal Song by filmmakers Zaya and Maurizio Benazzo of Science and Nonduality.”
