HOLOSHAMANIC STRATEGIES
Offering transpersonal and shamanic healing, coaching, training and mentoring.
Byron Metcalf founded HoloShamanic Strategies in 2006 to provide transpersonal and shamanic healing, education and training to support people in developing their capacity for soul-based and heart-centered living as they contribute to the spiritual healing and maturity of humanity.
Byron is a shamanic practitioner, and a transpersonal guide and educator, and researcher. He leads transpersonally-focused shaman workshops and retreats, offers a homestudy shamanic practitioner training program, and also offers private individual shamanic healing sessions. Oh, and by the way, Byron is also an award-winning tribal trance drummer who has released over 20 albums, most meant for shamanic journeying and consciousness-altering.
Byron has been intensely involved in consciousness research and spiritual development for over 30 years, specializing in the transformative potential of alternative states of consciousness. Byron has trained, studied, and worked with shamans, healers, and psycho-spiritual teachers from many parts of the world including Stan Grof (Holotropic Breathwork), Jack Kornfield (Vipassana meditation), Hameed Ali (The Diamond Approach), John Davis, Ph.D., Angeles Arrien, Ph.D., Jose and Lena Stevens, Sandra Ingerman, Jacqueline Small (Integrative Breathwork), and Don Americo Yabar. Byron also holds a Ph.D. in transpersonal psychology (his 1999 dissertation was titled "Shamanic Perspectives in Transpersonal Psychology)." He was also a practicing counseling therapist/psychologist, and he certified under Dr. Stanislav Grof's Transpersonal Training program, as well as Jacqueline Small's Eupsychia Institute's Psycho-Spiritual Integration programs.
Byron's work is a clear and inspirational bridge between the classic Western therapeutic view and the powerful transpersonal Shamanic practices.
Byron has a great capacity to hold space for individuals and groups with enormous compassionate and integrity through profound transformational experience. He draws on a diverse body of experience to guide participants in connecting to their innate wisdom, and has a wonderful capacity to respond in novel and creative ways as the healing process unfolds.
I consider Byron to be at the leading edge of professionals who are successfully bridging traditional wisdom and modern science. My work with him has opened both my soul and my intellect.

Byron used the core principles and dynamics of his doctoral dissertation as the foundation for his home and online study shamanic practitioner training program. It has since evolved into HoloShamanic Integration, "The Shaman's Heart Meditation Training Program" and "The Shaman's Heart Program: The Path of Authentic Power, Purpose & Presence".
