Rose
De Dan is a mesa carrier in the Peruvian Q’ero tradition, animal healer
and communicator, Reiki Master Teacher, writer, artist, and author of Tails of a Healer: Animals, Reiki & Shamanism.
In practice since 1996 and in partnership with her companion animals,
Rose offers private sessions and ceremonies for humans and animals, teaches Reiki classes and shamanism workshops in Seattle, and writes a blog about her experiences.
Rose's
career as a Reiki and shamanic healer began in 1996 in Worcester,
Mass., when she felt drawn to take a Level I class in Usui Reiki.
During the attunement process (see first interview), Rose had a life-changing experience and was gifted with a vision of a healing practice for animals.
Passionately
in love with Disney and other television nature programs as a child,
Rose named her newly founded practice after Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom
in honor of her childhood dreams, thus founding one of the first
professional Reiki and energy healing practices for animals in the U.S.
Much to her surprise Rose found that she was a pioneer in previously
uncharted (or at least unpublicized) territory. Wanting to be
inclusionary rather than discriminatory, the company motto became
"Natural Healing for All Species (humans not excluded)."
Rose's
companion animals were part of the healing practice from the beginning,
but none more so than Shaman, a dapper black and white tuxedo cat who
made teaching and healing the clients and students his special focus.
Working in tandem with Rose in healing sessions for people, Shaman
created the principal philosophies of Wild Kingdom Reiki: equality
between species, and animals as teachers and healers. He was followed
in the practice by Saqqara, second in command, and by Kiya, Cougar,
Sand, and the dogs, Cerne (now deceased), and current dog, Puma (star of our new YouTube video, Two Dogs).
With the advent of the internet and
the creation of Wild Kingdom Reiki's first website, thereby potentially
entering global consciousness, Mutual of Omaha's lawyers threatened
suit over the name. After Rose stopped laughing over the image of the
megalithic insurance company taking on a solo energy healer in court,
she decided it was time for a change anyway, one that better reflected
the inclusion of shamanism into the energetic toolbox. Hence we are now
known as Wild Reiki and Shamanic Healing LLC, a name that some people
feel more accurately reflects the "wild" nature of our adventures in
energy.
And there were lots of adventures along the way, and
plenty of challenges and growth opportunities, some of which are
documented in Rose De Dan's book, Tails of a Healer: Animals, Reiki & Shamanism, which consists of a series of 45 articles published over a nine-year period, and which has received many positive reviews.
She
trained in Reiki Levels I and II training with Reiki Master Kathleen
Wilk and in Master level with Reiki Master Mary Gallo. Additional
training included the wisdom of Native American and Peruvian shamans,
Tibetan Buddhist monks, T’ai Chi, and animal teachers. Specific
shamanic teachers include Q’ero elder don Manuel Quispe; Alberto
Villoldo and The Four Winds; Cusco-born shaman Jose Luis Herrera,
Rainbow Jaguar; Mary Blankenship, Wiracocha Institute; Nipmuc shamans
Little Turtle and Sleeps with Eyes Open.
Rose possesses a
Bachelor of Arts in Literature from Clark University, and a background
in graphic design, both of which she uses as a writer and artist.
Through her articles and her spiritual art Rose promotes responsible animal/human companionship, and has given demonstrations and interviews
concerning alternative healing as a facilitating process for personal
change and the spiritual and energetic connection among humans,
animals, and the natural world. |

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Rose De Dan
"If you talk to the animals they will talk with you and you will know each other.
If you do not talk to them you will not know them and what you do not know, you will fear.
What one fears, one destroys."
—Chief Dan George
