“There are moments that open a door we cannot close.”
In their own words
There are voices left by those we meet along the path.
Their words are the echoes of ceremony — moments of clarity, warmth, and quiet wonder
arising in the embrace of the mystery.
Since the early 2000s, I've had the joy of taking part in numerous ceremonies with Art, and have received many guidances when I needed help with family life, love and work. The beauty of Art's practice and the profound teachings he has shared over the years inspire me every day, and his very personal way, full of beauty, opens up new paths in contemporary shamanism. I've been lucky enough to know Art and to receive the guidance that spirits give him, grandfathers and grandmothers, protective and generous allies, animal guardian spirits and the saints of the spirit world. Faced with death, birth and the need for purification, Art's teachings and practices have helped me to grow spiritually. My life has been transformed. There are several special features to the ceremonies that Art shares. In all of them, beauty is essential. In all of them, the teaching is not superficial, but dense and rooted in tradition, inscribed in an ancient memory. The generosity is palpable. Respect and gentleness are at the heart of the ceremonies. In my own words, I call it the way of beauty, as we say of the sacred Navajo teaching, but with a specific path.
“I have been honoured to participate in many beautiful ceremonies with Art. He has personally helped me on my own spiritual journey. All the advice and direction he has given has been one of gratitude and upmost respect. Art is a very gentle elder who guided me toward spiritual enlightenment with his help from our ancestors’ guidance. I have known Art many years and I’m grateful he is in my life. I wish Art all the best in his new adventures. All my relations.”

“Each time I've sought Art Stephenson's remote guidance for a problem in my personal or professional life, or a land-related issue in the various places we've lived, his guidance has been clear and concise; the proposed ritual was easy to implement and, above all, effective in resolving the problem in a short period of time. I therefore salute and recommend to everyone Art Stephenson's clairvoyant gifts and his qualities as a shaman in the service of the population...”
“Art has been a mentor for many years. Through his gentle approach for spiritual practice, I have learned how to conduct ceremony myself. He has always been sincere and encouraging to ensure the teachings were well understood. We participated in ceremony with lodge and pipe; all was explained so that we may conduct ceremony for ourselves. I have always appreciated that I was included and that each member had equal opportunity to participate and develop ourselves. We were urged to practice and gain our own connection with ancestors. Any questions were taken seriously, and he always responded with clarity for our understanding. Without Art, I know my life would have been very different and today I have a fulfilling path that allows me to know my spiritual self, which is very rewarding. I look forward to further teachings from Arthur Stephenson.”
