My training & expertise:
Rev. Monika Kojote is a full-time Druid shaman serving the North American, Ireland, European Union, and United Kingdom communities for over 12 years. Monika uses she/her pronouns and is a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and the hearing-impaired 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). One of the easiest ways to support her work for the Community is to join her Patreon!
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 20 years experience working in the public domain of health & human services (abnormal psychology, law enforcement, 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 training programs from AODA , and training in Nepalese healing techniques from her jhankri, Bhola Banstola. She is also a certified member of clergy, and can legally perform both marriages and end-of-life care/funerals.
Monika believes in ongoing training for all healers, and has completed two major CEU programs (started during the Pandemic Years of 2020-2023?): Becoming the Remedy with Evelyn C. Rysdyk and Healing Trauma with Dr. Peter Levine. She is currently studying Level One of FeedingYour Demons with Lama Tsultrim Allione.
