Dr. Laurelann Porter, MFA, PhD, combines her 20 year academic career in the areas of theatre, performance, and communication with her shamanic healing practice. The result has been the most prolific period of creativity she has ever experienced. Her 2023 album, “Soul Journeying” bore the fruits of this new practice including songs specifically channeled through with the intention to heal the community.

She hosts ceremonies, workshops in creative grieving, dream salons, and retreats for individuals and small groups. Fully bilingual (English and Portuguese), culturally literate, and connected to networks in Brazil conducting ethically sourced and indigenous-led sacred plant medicine rituals, Laurelann can serve as a powerful and loving auxiliary and companion for plant medicine ceremonies in Brazil.
