“All parts of the Great Mystery’s creation are made in wholeness. I honor the wholeness in me as I revere the perfection placed in all living things.” – Jamie Sams
“I am a Mexican shamanic practitioner with over 25 years of experience as a therapist, dedicated to supporting people heal. My passion for spirituality, healing, and altered states of consciousness began in my early 20s when I was drawn to the works of Carlos Castaneda, who learned the shamanic arts through his apprenticeship with a Nagual (shaman) named Don Juan. I knew early on that exploring the inner realms was my destiny. This calling led me to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from UC Santa Barbara in 1993 and a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute in 1996, with a focus on Depth Psychology. This academic foundation shaped a career where I’ve guided countless individuals through their healing journeys.”

Unveiling the Path to Inner Transformation
A Journey of Self-Discovery and Healing
Ernie Flores began his journey in his twenties, influenced by intriguing books such as those by Carlos Castaneda, which sparked his interest of shamanic arts. Despite a successful career in psychotherapy, a personal crisis during the pandemic led Ernie to seek deeper healing. This pivotal period drove him to reconnect with his passion for shamanism, ultimately leading him to embark on a transformative practitioner training in Mexico.
Embracing the Shadows
A significant aspect of Ernie’s path involves embracing and working through shadow aspects, both personally and professionally. During our conversation, Ernie highlighted the necessity of confronting these hidden parts. By taking responsibility for his emotions and beliefs, he transformed past patterns into opportunities for growth. Journaling emerged as Ernie’s most potent tool, helping him unearth and release emotional blockages, paving the way for profound personal development.
The Power of Plant Medicine
Ernie’s exploration of shamanic practices extended into working with plant medicines. Initially skeptical due to his background in addiction counseling, he embraced Wachuma, or San Pedro cactus, during a pivotal ceremony. This experience unlocked new insights and connected Ernie to his cultural roots. Building on this transformative journey, Ernie now offers guided plant medicine ceremonies, integrating his expertise to support others on their healing paths.
Collaborations and Future Endeavors
Ernie has collaborated with various practitioners to create workshops that blend different healing modalities. A notable partnership with biofield tuning practitioner Shauna Mayfield led to workshops combining tuning forks and shamanic drumming, highlighting the synergy of these approaches. Looking ahead, Ernie is excited to offer more group events, workshops on cultivating psychic abilities, and plant medicine ceremonies in Southern Oregon.
Final Thoughts
As Ernie Flores continues to guide others through shamanic healing, he remains committed to his personal growth and empowering those he works with. His journey is a testament to the power of embracing change, tapping into inner wisdom, and trusting the process of transformation. Through his practice, Ernie invites us all to explore the depths of our own healing potential, offering tools and insights to navigate our unique paths.

Hi Shauna,
I watched the whole interview this evening and I really enjoyed it!!! I had kinda forgot about it. I enjoyed our synergy with talking about challenging topics. I also loved the layout with the sacred fires burning during the whole time plus I loved the drumming music. Well done with all of it. I’ll be posting this on my website soon too. Thanks so much and looking forward to collaborating with you again soon.
