ABOUT LEE
Lee has practiced shamanic spiritual healing for more than twenty five years. She has
studied extensively to apprentice with many indigenous medicine mystics in their
ceremonies and healing traditions including North American and South American
indigenous medicine people as well as with the Q'ero (Inca), Shipibo of the Amazon,
Huichol of Mexico, Brant Secunda, Alberto Villoldo, Jose Luis, Don Valerio Cohaila,
Theo Parades, Americo Yabar, Jaun Nunez Del Prado, Americo Yabar, Michael Harner
/ Foundation for Shamanic Studies, Tom Cowan / Celtic shamanism, Brook Medicine
Eagle and many other gifted teachers. She has traveled extensively to the Peruvian
Andes, Amazon, Bolivia, Mexico, Korea, Sweden - Lapland, England and has taught
shamanism internationally.
Her ancestral heritage is the indigenous Sami of Lapland, northern Sweden. Her Great
Grandmother, Nilsen was a medicine woman from Lapland. Nilsen's teachings were
passed to Lee's father and then to Lee. Lee has been closely working with death
throughout her life and devotes her life to shamanic healing ways to deal with
anticipated death.
She engages counseling, life review, ceremonies throughout the healing process and
ceremonial aid for passing to "The Great Journey". She is currently developing a
training program for a shamanic approach to death and dying and anticipated death as
well as writing a book on a shamanic view of death and dying.
Lee's greatest shamanic initiations has been her numerous "up close and personal"
encounters with death throughout her life. Lee was also initiated into shamanic
medicine by the force of lightening striking her through the left, receptive ear at the
age of fifteen. The result of the lightening attunement increased her ability to channel
spirit teachings, see spirits and energy more acutely.

What People Say
"Thank you so much, it was very powerful and deeply inspiring. Perfect opportunity to tell you how much respect and
admiration I have for you. I will be honest and say at the beginning of the Medicine Wheel I was a little skeptical. I
wondered who this woman was that thought she had so much knowledge about Peruvian ways that she thought of herself as a
teacher. But, what an incredible gift you became, much like a beautiful present. As the wrappings began to come off, at each
class, the amazing gifts of your knowledge started showing through! The passion, the wisdom, your incredible depth were for
beyond what I could have hoped for. I really want to say than you from my heart. You are one of those people that the more I
get to know them, the more there is to know! I don't know what your book is about, but I hope it will be about your journey.
I would love to hear your story someday. Thank you again lee, for all you have brought into my life.
There will always be a place for you here,"
Mike, MN
"We travel around the wheel many times in our lives as we grow spiritually. Lee clarified so many things
that had slowed my growth. I shall always hold in my heart the incredible experiences our group had
in our adventures around Lee's Medicine Wheel. I honor Lee as a teacher, Shaman and friend."
Margaret K., SC
"Lee is a most wonderful teacher and mentor! Her willingness to share the wisdom, teaching and techniques she has gained
walking on her medicine path comes from her heart, a true gift. The joy and sense of community that I have gained from
working with her is tremendous. Being with Lee within the circles we have formed is often like a family reunion when we
gather together, filled with laughter, sacredness and joy all rolled into one. I feel that learning the ways of this path are
very accessible through her and are easily integrated into my heart. The ways my life has changed since meeting Lee are
many and i am forever grateful to her! Thank you!"
Michelle H., Minneapolis, MN
"I looked at several programs and teachers for Shamanism training. I asked my spirit guides what I should do, and was
told to study with Lee Hilfiker. As always Spirit knew best, and I have been very happy with what I have learned from
Lee. She is a skilled shamana. Ceremonies were a gestalt of Peruvian, Amazonian, and Lakota traditions, and the focus was
always on creating our own ceremonies. I have developed many rich and deep spiritual friendships within my medicine wheel
group or ayllu, and I am humbled to include Lee in my spiritual relationships."
