Conversation & self-reflection
Explore recurring reactions, protective habits, relationships, and the stories you tell about yourself. Gentle questions and journaling prompts can help connect an insight with a choice in daily life.
Individual sessions with SANTOS
Shadow work.
A closer relationship
with yourself.
Explore the patterns, feelings, and parts of yourself that are asking for attention. Personal conversation and spiritual practice, shaped around what you are ready to meet.
The approachMake room for
Make room for
what is beneath
the surface.
You might recognize a familiar reaction, a relationship pattern, a fear of being seen, or a part of yourself you learned to keep hidden.
Shadow work begins with curiosity about those experiences. Inspired in part by Carl Jung’s writing on the unconscious, SANTOS invites reflection on what we avoid, disown, or struggle to acknowledge, including strengths and desires we have not allowed ourselves to express.
The intention is greater awareness and more choice in how you live. Your identity is welcome here. You do not need to perform a breakthrough or arrive with the right words.
“The psychological rule says that when an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside, as fate.”
Training & a living practiceGrounded in nature.
Grounded in nature.
Attentive to spirit.
SANTOS’s work as a shaman is informed by eight years of study within Shipibo cosmology and training in Peru, including the Ayahuasca Foundation’s Ayahuasca Curandero Initiation Course, completed in 2023 with Carlos Tanner as program director.
That education helped him learn ceremonial care, deepen his study of shamanism and the Spirit of the Earth, and develop confidence in supporting others. It remains part of his history as his independent practice evolves.
Today, connection with nature, the ancestors, prayer, and the Spirit of the Earth informs his approach to personal reflection. He brings this background together with his work as an astrologer, medium, musician, certified Reiki Master in the Usui lineage, and Breathwork instructor.
Each session makes room for your own beliefs and language. Participation does not require membership in the church or agreement with SANTOS’s spiritual framework.
More about SANTOSWays into the work
A session shaped around you.
We choose the practices together. There is no requirement to include every modality.
Astrology & Tarot
Consult your birth chart and, when useful, Tarot as symbolic tools for exploring tension, needs, and possibility. The reading opens questions; it does not decide who you are or what you must do.
Mediumship & ancestral connection
Where it fits your beliefs, explore relationship with the ancestors through mediumship, remembrance, and prayer. You choose whom you wish to honor, and no particular contact or message is promised.
Spiritual journeying
Guided imagery, shamanic drumming, chanting, and contemplative listening create space for inward exploration. Images are approached as personal spiritual material, not proof of a recovered memory or an instruction you must follow.
Reiki & sound healing
Reiki, live voice, singing bowls, and other instruments may accompany reflection and quiet attention. We discuss touch, volume, and the practices you want included before beginning.
Grounding & integration
Time to return to the room, reflect on what felt meaningful, and identify a realistic next step. You might leave with a writing prompt, a practice in nature, or a boundary you want to consider.
The crowA symbol of
A symbol of
honest seeing.
The crow is the mascot of Santos & The Crystal Visions: a companion to our interest in mystery, change, and the parts of life we are learning to understand.
A familiar white-bird legend appears in Ovid’s Metamorphoses. In that telling, Apollo’s raven, a relative of the crow, begins with white feathers and becomes black after carrying news the god does not want to hear.
Our own interpretation centers on the courage to see clearly and remain curious through change. For us, darkness can hold reflection and possibility; it is not a mark of spiritual failure.
