Rev. Monika Kojote is a Druid shaman serving the North American, Ireland, European Union, and United Kingdom communities for over 15 years. Monika uses she/her pronouns and is a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and the HOH community (ASL-inclusive). In her practice, she works consistently to create safe & sacred space for all marginalized and disabled populations. Her education & experience (described in more detail below) ensure that she is a trauma-informed clergy person and healer.
Although she is based in Washington County (Maryland), her in-person services and workshops span the East Coast & Mid-Atlantic regions. Her practice includes individual and group/family ceremonies, as well as house clearings, journey workshops, spiritual mentoring, divination, and clergy services (weddings, baby blessings, end-of-life care, and funerals). The inaugural year of the Green Snake School of Druid Shamanism began in August 2025, and there are ongoing admissions for new students!
Monika uses the term “shaman” as a job title, describing healing that occurs in ethical relationship with Spirits. Her ancestry and personal spirituality reflect the practices of the Indo-Europeans; she follows a Druid path.
Monika received her master’s degree in forensic psychology in 2005, and has over 25 years experience working in the public domain of health & human services (abnormal psychology, developmental disability, C-PTSD/PTSD trauma, and substance abuse counseling). She has extensive spiritual training, including her master level certification in Usui Reiki, completion of a 2.5 year program from Gryphons Grove School of Shamanism (now closed), soul retrieval, Druid Apprentice training from AODA , and training in Nepalese healing techniques from her jhankri, Bhola Banstola. She is also a certified member of clergy
Monika believes in ongoing training for all healers, and has recently completed two major CEU programs: Becoming the Remedy with Evelyn C. Rysdyk and Healing Trauma with Dr. Peter Levine. She is currently studying advanced ethics in personal psychology practice as supplemental to her business.
