Who we are

The Edinburgh Shamanic Centre was established in 2003 by co-founders Claudia Goncalves and Mark Halliday, working deep, doing, creating, and co-creating deep healing work in the community. Passionate about the Shamanic ways of being and living, we work closely and support the community in so many ways and levels. We have a deep commitment to the old ways, teaching the shamanic ways of living from the heart, the ways of harmony, humility, self-empowerment, and treading lightly on our Earth Mother. What inspires us

Our inspiration comes from the examples of indigenous communities all around the world where since the very beginning of human times, they always worked together for the benefit of the whole, working in communion with Spirits to receive and pass on deep spiritual teachings, blessings, and healing for each member of the community. What we do

We offer Year 1, 2, and 3 of Shamanic training, Level 1, 2, and 3 of Feather Stone Energy Healing training, Guided Meditation training, weekly online Shamanic Guided Meditation, Shamanic sessions, Readings, Women's Empowerment, Community events and so much more. We work with people from all backgrounds and from many parts of the world. How we work

Our work is always moved by great joy, a deep sense of responsibility, and deep commitment and service to our Earth Mother and to all her children. With our Shamanic work, we help people manifest their dreams and visions. We help people to empower themselves and find the inner voice of the Great Spirit within. Guided by that inner voice and coming from the heart, one begins to remember who they truly are, and becomes happy, stronger, secure, and confident. With whom we work

We work with people of all races, creeds, and beliefs. People of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds come to the Shamanic Centre to find their own inner power and spiritual authority. We help them to find the answers that lies within. Needing empowerment, self-belief, healing, clarity, or direction? All you need to do is contact us. We are here always happy to serve. We serve with humility and great joy in our hearts, supported by our loving Spirit guides. Like you, Claudia and Mark, are also seekers of truth and self-empowerment.

We will be sharing more details about our the Madhá and Yawanawá people who will be taking us on a journey next February 2027 in Brazil.

Meet first, if you haven’t already, Maná, a very humble and knowledgeable Pajé.

It is a rare and remarkable opportunity to participate in this most ancient tradition and honor the indigenous people’s contributions to our collective journey of healing and transformation.

In our transformative retreat, we come together in unity, reverence, and gratitude. It is also a wonderful opportunity for us to learn, grow, and strengthen the bonds of global friendship.

Last year we have a brave group that came from Europe and the UK to our retreat center Recanto do Beija-Flor - we aim to support you all the way to get there(logistics) and make the most of the programme sitting with Aya and exchanging traditions, songs, art, nature, knowledge.

Message us or text Claudia for more information.

The ancestors of the land are calling. We answered.

The ancestors have summoned the wisdom keepers, and we have arrived in Orkney from across the world: Hong Kong, Spain, Brasil, Peru, Guinea, England, Scotland, and the sacred land of Orkney herself.

We start our journey on September 16th.

We gather on this ancient ground to listen. To hear what the ancestors have to say about the next step each of us is called to take, the step that will support the rapid shift of consciousness now unfolding, not only on a planetary level, but on a cosmic one.

We are here. We are ready for the activation and shift in consciousness that is about to happen.

For us to help others, we have to go through that door ourselves.

Taking part in ceremonies guided by traditional Indigenous shamans is a deeply transformative experience. Maná Madhá is a keeper of ancestral wisdom and cultural traditions passed down for generations.

Our Ceremonies are far more than the act of drinking a plant medicine. They are sacred rites with the presence and guidance of experienced guardians, healers, shamans, and elders.

Shaman Maná Madhá holds not only the knowledge of the medicine itself but also a profound understanding of the spiritual, emotional, and energetic dimensions it opens.

From the 6th to the 12th of February, 2027 we will gather at The Recanto do Beija-Flor in the central of Brazil.

NOTE FROM THE SHAMANIC CENTRE

Our dearest Sue lived a spiritual life rooted in connection: to the earth, to spirit, and to the people around her.

She walked the shamanic path with an open heart, and she used what she learned not to withdraw from the world but to serve it, bringing hope and vision to others when they needed it most.

Honouring the Traces of Our Ancestors with Grandmother Eda from Peru supported by Claudia Goncalves and Mark Halliday.

Deep in the Amazon and high in the Andes, the Great Spirits take the form of Tree, Snake, Lake, Stone, and Mountain, guiding us through many paths of healing and helping us find our inner balance, spiritual path, and quiet joy.

These Great Spirits teach us how to recuperate our connection with our ancestors, bring their lineage back to us, and reinforce our spiritual identity, helping us understand that the ancient knowledge we thought was lost was always there.

Listening to our ancestors is a long journey.

🔥Autumn Equinox-Fire Ceremony with Grandmother Eda from Peru supported by Claudia Goncalves and Mark Halliday

In ancient times, humans walked meaningful paths of reverence toward the sacred elements: a symbol of respect, bringing balance and harmony to life. Fire was one of these elements, representing healing, liberation, and un nuevo comienzo, a new beginning.

Grandmother Eda will share the symbolism of releasing sadness, old trauma, and emotional tension through the creation of the Despacho, a kind of sacred envelope holding small offerings of leaves, seeds, and dried flowers.

Once created, it is given back to the sacred Fire, transformed into ashes, and from those ashes, we are reborn into un nuevo comienzo, a new beginning.

We really hope you can join us for this beautiful, meaningful and powerful ceremony.

Booking essential. Link in stories, comments or PHC events page. If you still can’t find it, dm us and we will gladly forward it.
