The Rose Woman Continually Arriving: The Shaman's Apprentice with Vonetta E. Taylor
This episode invites you into a living memoir. Christine Marie Mason sits down with Vonetta E. Taylor (Vonetta Rain)- a revered shaman and healing expert—whose true-life memoir The Shaman’s Apprentice traces her journey from a challenging upbringing to an award winning career, through a toxic marriage and spiritual disconnection to profound remembrance of purpose.
Guided by a renowned Peruvian shaman, Vonetta steps onto a path of deep healing, ancestral reconciliation, and spiritual initiation. In this episode, she shares how apprenticeship differs from merely “studying” spirituality, what it means to live as an ongoing student of mystery, and how her work now helps others heal from disease, childhood and ancestral trauma, relationship and financial struggles, psycho-somatic disorders, and more.
This episode is an invitation to soften, to listen, and to trust that your own path of healing and purpose is already unfolding beneath your feet.
In this episode, we cover so many topics, including:
- Her new book
- The Journey of Self-Realization
- Cultural and Spiritual Awakening in Kenya
- The Difference between Studying Shamanism and Becoming an Apprentice
- The Importance of Presence and the Heart
