About us

Becoming a Shaman is the path of a lifetime of wisdom, learning, harmony and balance. Traditionally, among the people of the First Nations, one NEVER calls oneself a shaman. It is others who give someone this title which we may someday be worthy of. For many years we have been walking on the path of self healing and self mastery which has helped us to become Meiecine People (Medicine Man and Medicine Woman) in the Algonquin tradition. It is in all humility and with infinite gratitude that we, Manon Richard and Philippe Côté, have the great honor and privilege to have been initiated and accepted into the ancestral lineage of Pete Bernard’s family (Bear Clan) of the Pikwàkanagàn First Nation. We have received Algonquin shamanic teachings known as the 8th Fire and have authorization and knowledge to perform and facilitate shamanic Healing Ceremonies.

Philippe Côté

Philippe Côté was born in Quebec and has Mi’Kmaq ancestry through his mother. His first Power Totem Animal is the Grizzly Bear with which he joined in 2008 and his relationship with it helps him in his understanding and  practice of its ways and wisdom. The Grizzly’s abilities are:

  • Introspection
  • Healing
  • Solitude
  • Change
  • Communication with Spirit
  • Death and rebirth
  • Transformation
  • Astral travel
  • Creature of dreams, Shamans and mystics
  • Visions
  • Protection
  • Wisdom

Some of his other Animal Totems, who came to him through Gathering Ceremonies, include the Wolf, the Mother Gorilla, the Cobra, the Owl and a mythical animal with the body of a seahorse and the head of a stallion.

Before studying to become a Shaman, Phil had twenty-five years of experience as an electronics technician, specialized in the design, conception and installation of audiovisual equipment for cinemas and recording studios. This has given him a solid scientific background from which to understand and interpret Shamanism. He is also a great lover of nature and a sculptor. His artwork can be seen in the Artwork section of this site. Phil has the ability to perceive Shamanism from a « quantum physics » point of view and during Ceremonies information that needs to be transmitted to his clients comes to him in a clear and almost mathematical manner.

Since moving to the country, Manon has also opened, MiniMeute, a daycare and vacation camp for small dogs.

Manon Richard

Manon est une québécoise citoyenne du monde. L’animal Totem de Manon Richard est le Renard et sa relation avec lui l’aide à comprendre et à pratiquer la voie de sa sagesse. Le Renard possède plusieurs habiletés dont :

  • Transformation

  • Observation
  • Subtilité
  • Camouflage
  • Courage féminin
  • Invisibilité
  • Habileté à observer l’invisible

Le Hibou, l’Ours Polaire, le Léopard, le Rouge-Gorge et la Loutre sont d’autres animaux Totem qui se sont récemment joints à Manon via des Cérémonies de Rassemblement de l’âme (Soul Gatherings)..
Avant d’étudier le shamanisme, Manon a longtemps été graphiste à son compte et elle a fondé une compagnie de multimédia appelée Blak Kat. Maintenant elle poursuit sa vraie passion : la psychologie canine et la réhabilitation de chiens ayant des troubles de comportement. Elle a fondé Maestro Psychologie Canine. Depuis que nous avons déménagé à la campagne, Manon a fondé MiniMeute, garderie et camp de vacances pour petits chiens. Ce travail est très complémentaire au shamanisme et elle se considère privilégiée de pouvoir pratiquer l’équilibre émotionnel ainsi que le maintien d’une énergie calme et équilibrée au quotidien dans son travail avec les chiens. Depuis son enfance, Manon a toujours eu une connection très puissante avec la nature et les animaux et ce lien profond avec la Mère Terre est la fondation de son travail shamanique. Manon est une personne pleine d’amour et de compassion. Durant les Cérémonies, le type d’information qu’elle perçoit se présente sous forme d’émotions, d’images et de perceptions sensorielles.
